@Czarpais MSVCP100.dll is a component of the 2010 runtimes, so please uninstall your current versions, if you have them, and install new ones. Click Windows key-i, select Apps, scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, click each 2010 version, and uninstall. Don't touch any other versions. You can get fresh copies here:

You may need both the x86 and x64 versions, but skip the ia64 version, which is for a different class of device. Restart your computer and try again to play.
If the game still won't open, please repair it again. You can skip the Lazy Duchess Alder Lake patch, which your computer doesn't need.
If you still can't play, please look for new errors in the Reliability Monitor. Hit Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes, and you'll see a chart of errors and updates with a column for each day. Today is on the right.
Look for an error that happened at exactly the time of your most recent attempt to launch Sims 3, specifically after doing all of the above. If you find one, double-click it to see more details, then copy that info and paste it into a reply here. If you don't see a new error, check back in an hour or so—the Reliability Monitor doesn't always update right away.
First off, thank you so much for reaching out and helping this has been driving me insane.
second I did all the steps and the msvcp100.dll error no longer appears but instead the error
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). clike OK to close the application. "
I've tried doing the reliability monitor and waiting for a while but it has not popped anything up for more than 3 hours.
