  • Benz_Finrod  Try reinstalling your 2015 and newer VC++ runtimes.  Open Windows Settings > Apps, scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, and uninstall everything from 2015 and newer. Don't touch the older versions.

    Download the x86 and x64 versions (not the ARM version) of the 2022 runtimes from Microsoft:

    Install the runtimes, restart your computer, and try to play.

    If that doesn't help, please provide the information requested in the accepted solution of the master Sims 1 won't launch thread, as mentioned.
