Disclaimer: I am not a super technical person, and I just need help figuring out how to make my game work again! Please please help if you know how to explain things to someone who doesn't know what they are doing haha.

Every time I try to open the Sims 4 I get the following error message:

TS4_x64.exe Application Error

The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b). Click OK to close the application.

And that's it. It just won't even try to run. I have tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, and I get the same message. I updated Origin, and made sure my PC had all the most recent updates. I restarted my PC. Not sure what else to try - that's where my nerd level tops out and I don't know what to do haha.

@JanssJS It seems as people are receiving these error codes with the latest Sims 4 update and Origin update. I also have some other ways and can explain the compatibility tests and scans for you if you need it! I hope I can be of some help.
