Missing DLL: [msvcp120.dll] Error: 0xC1

Hello,

I keep getting this error when starting the game.

"Missing DLL: [msvcp120.dll] Error: 0xC1"

- I've tried to repair the game through origin
- I've uninstalled the game and reinstalled
- I've uninstalled Visual C++ Redistributable both x64 and x86
- I've uninstalled Origin and Reinstalled
- I've updated graphics driver
- I've updated Windows 7
- I've manually copied msvcp120.dll from Windows/SystemWOW and Windows/System32 into the Sims 4 folder
- I've restarted my computer

Never had this problem before with any other game, and I've been looking around for a solution for a while. I saw that it was a recurring problem with Battlefield 3/4, and could usually be fixed by changing the game settings in origin from 32bit to 64bit, but Sims 4 has no such options in Origin.

Help, please.

    After moving the whole game over to my laptop and running a repair on the origin on my laptop, the game apparently works on both laptop and stationary if I use the files that were repaired on the laptop.

    So I guess problem solved?

    • Go to your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\__Installer\vc\vc2010sp1\redist" folder.
    • Run the "vcredist_x64.exe" and the "vcredist_x86.exe" as Administrator. (Right click the exe > run as an Administrator)
      If you don't have an "Install" option, "Repair" the installation.
    • Do the same with the "vcredist_x64.exe" and the "vcredist_x86.exe" under ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist"
    • Reboot.
    • Test.
