@Sahararara Run the Windows System File Checker Sfc /scannnow and post the concluding message. > Test afterwards.

Hello @Sahararara. I moved this thread to a more appropriate place in the forum. Also i can check this info http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/READ-FIRST-Known-issues-guides-and-FAQs/m-p/227274#U227274

@holger1405Thank you for your help.I have run the windows system file checker, and rebooted the computer.This is the message:" Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393](c) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. Med enerett. C:\WINDOWS\system32>Sfc /scannow Beginning system scan. This process will take some time. Beginning verification phase of system scan.Verification 100% complete. Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repairedthem. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Forexample C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log.

@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 reinstall vc++ in this way:
a) all installers run as Admin;
b) before install this, delete all already installed versions;
c) if you have x64 OS, you'd install x32 (x86) and x64 packages of all versions:

VC2005 (хххххх80.dll), VC2008 (хххххх90.dll), VC2010 (ххххх100.dll),

VC2012 (ххххх110.dll), VC2013 (ххххх120.dll), VC2015 (ххххх140.dll)

if it not helped, please, attach to a next message txt file of dxdiag.
