Thanks for the info but it is  for The Sims 3 not for Sims 4.

MSVCP100.dll

    @shazic60 The same steps in that article should still work for Sims 3.

    Basically you need to download/install Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013. You might also want to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64 / x86)

    Let us know if you have any further questions!

      When I install it gives me the option to run and then it takes me to a screen that says repair- if I do this it gives me a message that says the disk is not installed.

      My Sims 3 is downloaded not on disk.
