My game is trying to make me update too. When the launcher loads, it tells me my base game is incompatible with my expansion pack. But it IS compatible with WA because I have all the updates up to 1.10.6 and I don't have Loft Stuff. It won't let me click play or anything else on the launcher except to update. I tried updating and it told me there was a script error, which I assume is because I don't have Loft Stuff? So I can't update or play my game.
When you updated the base game, did you WA also update? That may be why your getting an incompatibility error.
As you have been advised, don't start from the launcher. If I remember correctly, the AM bypass for the CD check, that is being able to play without the CD, doesn't work when using the launcher, as the launcher has it's own CD check which is unaffected by AM, another benefit of bypassing the launcher.
I would highly recommend using 3booter and he FPSlimiter. Both very, very easy to install and use, if you can follow directions that is, and is a great safeguard for that expensive graphics card. I started using them a while back, and haven't regretted it.

I am having the same problem as jtrazz. I have legal versions of Base and WA but no other expansion pack and I play with the CD in. I updated the patches via the launcher and then I hit the 1.8 to 1.10 problem where it tells me after downloading gazillions of megabytes of 1.10 patch that it is incompatible with the base game and please update via the launcher. Well I fucking did that - twice. So I took advice above and tried to launch via the .exe but still no joy - coming up with same incompatibility error.
The EADM regenerated itself so I started process again - still no joy? Very frustrated. Does anyone recommend uninstalling base and WA? Will that help?

Never trust EA crapware. always do it manually!
Nuff Said!
Edit: To actually offer some help...
If your base game is incompatible with the EP than nothing you will do, outside of getting things compatible, will help.
What version does the launcher say you have?
What version was the base game prior to you installing WA?

The launcher says I have version 2.5.12 but it says I need to update game from 1.8.25 to 1.10.6, if that makes any sense.
I truly can't remember what version it was pre WA.
Think I am going to have to reinstall the two games again but not via the launcher. Oh the pain of it because I am really not sure what to patch with from base game.

That makes sense. The base game should be at 1.10. That's why your getting the errors. Download and install the patches manually, you can get them here http://www.simprograms.com/the-sims-3-patches/
You should be able to apply the relevant base game patches without causing too much trouble. I would recommend making a back-up of your saves, and consider starting a fresh game to make sure everything works properly, just in case an old save is borked, which happens.
I also found this tool http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=387006 very useful. The dashboard will check your game versions and let you know if any CC is corrupted, and can usually fix them, and also highlight possible mod conflicts. Using this I found that WA hadn't updated properly, BG was 1.10, WA was 2.3 and HELS was 3.1, manually applied the updates to WA, and no problems. No need to reinstall everything.
