Afterinstalling and I tried to start the game the message "Your The Sims 3 Base Game is incompatible with the current Sims 3 Expansion Pack. Please update your game via the game launcher." But in the game launcher it says "Your game is up to date".
The message you are seeing is fairly common and harmless. It just means that the base game is more up to date than the expansion pack's patch level. Normally you can just ignore the message and go ahead and install the pack. It is odd, however, to get that message after installing everything.
1. You may not have cleanly uninstalled your original game before starting to install your new Starter pack. Old files from old installations can conflict with new installations. See the directions below on uninstalling cleanly.
2. Your game is not up to date. The most recent patch was 1.67 and you are only at 1.54. If your Launcher won't let you access the update properly (again, this is quite common so don't worry), you can use the manual patch - see below.
When you uninstall TS3 games on your Mac using the uninstaller, the game leaves behind stray files and isn't completely removed from your computer. These files may conflict with future installations. It is best to completely remove them. BluebellFlora's website provides a guide on how to do this:
-sims-3-on-a-mac/how-to-do-a-clean-uninstall-and-reinstall-on-a-mac/
After cleanly uninstalling, install the base game and patch it up to date. If you cannot update via the Launcher, download and apply the latest cumulative manual patch (called the superpatch) for Mac.
Check that your game works properly. Then install any EPs and SPs that you own, in order of release date.
Many simmers find that patching their game via the "Game Updates" tab of the Launcher does not work properly. It is then better to download and apply the manual superpatch. It is important to download the Mac version rather than the PC version, and to pick the right one for your region.
Instructions and the links to the downloads can be found in the Mac section of the forums at

If you use any mods or custom content, be sure to remove them before patching.

It was suggested that I create base game substitutions for those who may not own every pack used in The Packs Based Legacy Challenge. I loved the idea so much that I created an entirely base game friendly version of the challenge. Each challenge can be completed individually or used interchangeably to create the perfect challenge that works for you.
Over the next several years, you take up freelance painting jobs as you continue to search for something to entice you. Until one day your friend suggests you become a painter professionally after noticing how you light up when discussing the freelance painting gigs you have completed. And suddenly, everything clicks.
You were raised by loving parents in a beautiful home. You saw how much pride your mother (or father) had for the house they turned into a home and wanted to feel that same sense of joy for your own home, so you purchase a fixer upper when you move out. You soon discover something about your house is off. As you notice you are the house on the block people tend to stray away from. You begin to imagine a million different possibilities as to why this is and dedicate your life to writing mystery novels based off your conspiracy theories.
Aspiration(s): Best Selling Author Traits: Perfectionist, Clumsy, and a trait of your choosingGoals: Must purchase a fixer upper house, preferably one that looks abandoned upon aging into young adulthood. Again, you may cheat to purchase this house (the house should be a steal as it has sat on the market for some time now) OR you can use the Simcity Loans mod and take out a loan for this house as an investment into your future (and a little extra challenge). You have always wanted to be a writer, but you never quite found the words, so you become a freelance writer allowing clients to dictate what you write. Once you have completed at least two jobs in the freelance writing career, you quit your job to become a writer full time as you finally have found your muse, your new home. Like the previous generation, you raise your child(ren) in the house you have made into a home.
Aspiration(s): Chief of MischiefTraits: Erratic, Loner, and Goofball Goals: During your childhood you begin to talk with yourself as a coping mechanism for your loneliness before opting for a life of mischief. You join the criminal career as a young adult because surely, your parents would notice you as a Crime Boss, everyone would notice you.
Aspiration(s): Renaissance SimTraits: Ambitious, Good, and BookwormGoals: After moving out, you realize that while your parent may have been a little overboard with the whole eco living thing, they did have a point. You decide to build a micro home for yourself to help the environment in your own way; however, as time goes on and your family grows, you build on to your home.
Being raised in a tiny home really helped keep things in perspective for you. You grew up appreciating everything the world had to offer and enjoy taking photos of nature to preserve its beauty forever. You were close with your grandparent and their love of the environment really had an impact on you.
Your parent loved nature and so did you, only, you wanted the bask in the sunlight and relax in the pool type of nature. You wanted to be surrounded by people and live life to the fullest without any real responsibilities weighing you down.
You had a wonderful childhood. Your parents were so caring and so in love that it inspired you. For as long as you could remember, you dreamed of having the perfect wedding, to the perfect person, and raising a large happy family. You aspire to own land big enough to build a beautiful family home for your future children with plenty of outdoor space for them to play without the worries of city traffic nearby.
