I had the same issue and the following worked for me: I checked all the "Microsoft Visual C++..." under "Apps" and choosed "Repair" where it was available. I restarted my computer and then the installation went just fine.
hello, guys since EA is not responsive, ill just post this here for for PC/Desktop users you may use this link https://origin-a.akamaihd.net/EA-Desktop-Client-Download/installer-releases/EADesktop-12.0.58.4866-2... to download EA APP. it works for me. I hope it will work for you guys too! Cheers! finally, I can play sims Apex and fifa.....
@axammm No it doesn't. I got it to install, but the app can't see a thing, so it won't play a thing. Not one single game. I saw it briefly because they're messing with that app, but it wanted to download all my expansions, stuff packs, and what's the other one? Anyway, it got stuck wanting to download gigabytes of files and went back to seeing nothing at all. It has no memory that The Sims 4 is already installed and doesn't need reinstalling. Besides, I have some customization in the game files that shouldn't be undone. This is a disaster. Oh, I'm talking about the ProgramFiles folder unless I'm thinking about The Sims 3. I may have added nothing to the files in The Sims 4 folders. I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit.
