Hi @kacperWiedzmin3,
Thanks for that 🙂
Let's try this:
- Open Control Panel and uninstall the redistributables (Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable) for 2010 and 2013. You might have others, but uninstall only the 2010 and 2013 ones.
- Restart your computer.
- Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\__Installer\vc
- Open vc2010sp1 \ redist folder
- Right click on each of the exe files in that folder and select 'Run as administrator'
- Repeat step 5 for the vc2013 \ redist folder
- Restart your computer
Try the game now. Any differences? 🙂
