[CURRENT ISSUE] Error messages with MSVCP140.DLL/VCRUNTIME140.dll
Somebody please help!!!😞
I was prompted to update my Sims 4 digital deluxe on my PC (Windows 10) and after it updated Im getting the error I have attached.
Im not very techy so if someone can give me a simplified step by step guide on what to do. I'm afraid if I uninstall sims 4 from origin i'll lose all my extra content, game packs and expansion packs.
I've repaired the game - still getting the error
I've also moved My sims 4 folder (In electronic arts folder) to my desktop as suggested on other posts but unsure what to do next.
*currently re-installing game* will update if this works
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted title
@x_minatureI had this too.
You have to download Microsoft Visual C++. It should have been included in the update but this doesn't seem to work for all players.
I went to this page:
https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
and installed vc_redist.x64.exe. That fixed the problem for me and other players.For more information read this thread:
