Sounds like your computer can handle the base game but not the base game plus EP.

1.10 is the Base Game version, 2.5 is the WA version and 3.1 is the HELS version. The current versions that is, until the next EAxis patch comes out.
Thank you Wizard Merlin for your civil answer. According to the launcher, my game is currently 2.5.12 so I am patched to WA which is all I have got. I am not really understanding this incompatibility story as I don't have HELS. I think my launcher is borked as it will not display anything except the Update page.
Is there any way around this other than to reinstall both Base and WA and patch. I know that launcher is a dirty word around here, so can anyone suggest what the sequence of patches is if I am to patch manually.

If you're getting an incompatible warning, you need to also patch your base game, which the WA Launcher will not do. You can try launching the base game launcher, maybe that will do the job. Or just patch manually. The Launcher sucks.

Download the dashboard from here http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=387006 Just extract and then run the dashboard, it will show you your current game version numbers, corrupt CC (which it can try and fix) and possible conflicting mods.
You can download the patches from here http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=387006 I would recommend downloading them all and keeping them for future use should you need to do a re-install for any reason.
It may be that the launcher didn't do the base game update like it should. If that's the case, you should be able to apply the patches without having to reinstall everything. I would recommend making a back-up of your saved games first, then try a fresh game after applying the patches first, and if everything is fine, try an old saved game if you want. That way you'll know if the old saves are borked or not.

Ok, so ever since HELS came out I've been experiencing technical difficulties with my game and AM. When I reinstalled, I removed my downloads from My Computer>EA Games> The Sims 3> Mods> etc... to try and salvage them for the reinstall. The folder was safe on my desktop. After I reinstalled, none of the content, not even AM is properly installing.My downloads folder, complete with framework, is sorted exactly as Scenario 3 from ChilltownNJ's post about getting AM to work with HELS. No content is properly installing, and I've tried to move things around to no avail. Currently, my downloads are in the Mods folder in the TS3 folder under My Computer and the resource.cfg is in that same section. Only d3dx90_31.dll is in the HELS folder.
