I can't download origin, is there a way play Sims without the origin system?
Okay, to be completely clear, I got a device called Magnus (If that means something) but it has a windows 10 program (the pro education one, cause my school got me this computer) I have another computer but its has a broken screen And I can barely do anything without having it on a small screen. So yeah, thats where I downloaded origin and got the sims4. Now I want to change computers, but I can't download the windows download because some how its missing code. Help.
@Kidothewolf Those files are part of the 2015-2019 VC++ runtimes, which Origin and Sims 4 both use. So it's best to uninstall your current copies, if you have them, and download new ones from Microsoft.
Click Windows key-i, select Apps, and scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. Click on the 2015 (or 2017, or 2015-2019) versions, both x86 and x64, and Uninstall. (Don't touch the versions from any other year.) Then download and install new versions directly from Microsoft:

You need both the x86 and x64 versions, but you can skip the ARM version, which is for a different class of device. Restart your computer before trying to install Origin.
@KatieCookie2011 If you're getting exactly the same error(s), try the above as well. Otherwise, please post a screenshot of what you see.
