My game won't start
I can't start my game, It gives me an error message that I have attached. I cleaned out the cache after repairing many times. Furthermore, I uninstalled and reinstalled but the same message. Please help
Pristeenwaters That file is a component of the 2015 and newer VC++ runtimes, which Sims 4 uses. So please uninstall your current versions, if you have them, and install fresh copies. Hit Windows key-i, select Apps, scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, click on any version from 2015 or later, and select Uninstall. Don't touch the older versions. You can download the newest runtimes directly from Microsoft:

You'll need both the x86 and x64 versions of the 2015-2022 runtimes, but you can skip the ARM version, which is for a different class of device. Restart your computer after installing and before trying to play.
