I think I may have found the problem. Each of my three hard drives had some installation of Origin on it and this problem arose after I got the third harddrive. I've received no errors yet when trying to reinstall Sims 4 but I'll let you know what happens.

Update: Surprise surprise. It didn't work and now I want to die.

@WarDragon72345 Did you completely uninstall Origin from all your drives and then reinstall it ?

Are you on an Windows Admin Account ?

Did you try my suggestion with starting Origin as administrator ?

    @WarDragon72345 OK.

    At this point I don't think it's an issue with the redistributables as such but with Origin or your setup.

    Will tag @holger1405 to help you further with this.

    Thank you for your help. I'm currently working through one or two other solutions that have been given to me by other people.

    @WarDragon72345 

    It makes very little sense to troubleshot if you are changing settings suggested by others. 

    I simply don't know what the status quo inside your system is if you do.

    So I would suggest that you let me know if this other solutions don't work.

    Tag me with @holger1405
