Installation Failed
So I bundled Sims 4 Horse Ranch, Werewolves game pack, and Paranormal Stuff. And I bought the First Fits kit. None, and I mean, none are downloading. Every time I try, this is the caption that I get:...

I purchased 2 new add ons for sims 4. But everytime i try to download them they keep crashing and saying installation error 75% done. Nothing I’ve tried is working. Restarted my computer l, the app. Uninstalled and reinstalled sims 4/ add ons. Nothing.
Yep, same thing. Can someone please help us?
I had this error and the problem was that a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable wasn't installed correctly. This is a shared library which is installed as part of the game install, but *not uninstalled* when you uninstall the game or the EA app. It's left on your system because many other programs use it. So if it has a problem, your problem doesn't go away by reinstalling the game.
I uninstalled the redistributables manually the normal way in Windows ("uninstall a program", or "add or remove programs", depending on which version of Windows - you likely will see several different versions installed, in my case I just uninstalled the more recent ones), and then I reinstalled them manually once I found them in the __Install folder of the game, and then it worked. I expect that after uninstalling them, you could just reinstall the game and it would install them for you and it should be fine if this was the source of your problem.
I believe this happened because I ran out of space on my drive a while ago, maybe while a redistributable was installing, so it was kind of half installed and in a bad state.
