You can find links to a superpatch from patch day on SimsVIP and
Crinrict's Sims 3 Help Blog. I would actually suggest the first two things I mentioned before though.
Have you restarted your computer and have you tried opening up Origin? Origin has to be up to date and if you haven't opened it in a while then it needs to be updated anyway.
Another point is that I know you have two separate dynasty files going right now. I would recommend not playing them until you get the patch fixed all the way up to patch 1.39. Being on the latest patch is a part of the rules of the challenges and without doing so, you put your Hall of Fame chances at risk.
