@Sahararara Did you enable .NET Framework or install from MS. .NET Framework is included in with Win 10 and just needs to be enabled in programs and features.

@Sahararara Ok, good, but the game still not starts with the same error? Did you restarted the Machine after Sfc /scannow was finished? If so try to repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click The Sims 3 > Repair)

@Sahararara try resetting the game to factory. This will tell you if the game is damaged or if the user data is causing the issues. Here is a link how to do this - link - reset Sims 3
