Google Play services out of date. Requires 10084000 but found 8118436

Issue

I'm trying to run Google Play Services on my Android emulator using Genymotion. I followed the steps in another Stack Overflow to download and install ARM Translation Installer and the Google Apps for my Android version (5.1.0). Up until this point, there doesn't seem to be any issues.

The issue occurs when I open my development app and try to connect to Google Play Services. I see Google Play services out of date. Requires 10084000 but found 8118436.

I know that this means the version of my emulator is 8.1 and the version that is being bundled is 10.0. However, I don't know how to make these two versions the same. I can't figure out how to either downgrade one, or update the other. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!
