Launching sims give a prompt that says I must update via Origin

So after installing get to work when I try to load the game it says that the current directory is from a newer sims and I must Update the game via Origin. Any Ideas?

Have not installed City living yet. Just going through one by one and trying to see if it works

OK never mind, did a fresh install, works now.....except Outdoor retreat...again... cri. When trying to go to the outdoor retreat world, its blank

Yes, but when traveling the world is blank and there is a warning triangle in the corner of the world icon

i purchased base game, get together, and city living prior, im trying to download the get to work pack and im getting this error.

is there any fix for this? i believe this is my issue

When you legally purchased a game, it will be automatically updated to version 1.25.136.1020. (latest patch)
If you afterwards downloaded any other game (except City Living), your game version will be lower, f.e. 1.20
As soon as you allow Origin to update your game, all pirated expansions will be removed.
So once you've started on pirated games, never ever allow Origin to update.
(Best to keep 2 different installation-folders on your computer, 1 for the bought games and 1 for the pirated).

Regarding the error that the game can't be played and you must update via Origin, go to the Folder Documents - Electronic Arts - The Sims 4 and remove the file GameVersion. Then start your game again.

EDIT: as you've bought Base Game, Get Together and City Living and played the game your version will be 1.25.
You downloaded Get to Work which will reverse your game to version 1.13, reason why you get this error)
