Im getting the error VC runtime despite doing everything I could think of.

I've had countless errors with this program and finally thought I'd be done, when yesterday I woke up after downloading the sims 4 overnight, expecting to play it, to the VC++ runtime error, specifically (1601). I've done the redist files, deleted them, redownloaded them, and someone said to delete the older ones, delete the game, and redownload the game, so that is what I am doing right now. I'm hoping this fixes the problem though I doubt it will. 

Some other things I have done:

Run sfc /scannow in command prompt, did what it told me

Downloaded the game 3 times (in safe mode because origin won't let me download it otherwise, and it'll be 4 whenever this is done)

Deleted the other 3 downloads after they didn't work

Downloaded Ccleaner and ran it 4 times in registry cleaning, let it clean everywhere else in my pc

Turned off the use of origin in-game setting in the sims properties

Restarted my computer over and over and over and over again

Put in a call (the person will be calling in around 2 hours)

Talked to my friend who's had the sims for a while

Done everything Origin says to do

Watched many Youtube videos with "100% Fixes" (they didn't fix it)

Tried to download the Legacy version (I meet the requirements of the normal sims game)

Talked to my dad who's fairly tech-savvy 

Downloaded Windows updates 

Run Origin as admin

Logged out of Origin

Deleted and Reinstalled Origin 3 times

Turned on Windows Installer

I uninstalled KB3000988 but  KB2918614 isn't actually downloaded on my computer.

I probably forgot a few but those are all the ones I did. Please help! 

I don't know much about specs, so let's hope I get this right:

I'm on an Alienware computer with default resolution (1080 x 1920 I think?), Windows 8, 64bit, and I use NVIDIA. 

If you have anything to recommend other than what I've already done, please do so! I just want to play the Sims. ☹️
