@queenrose68 The game should still open though, and I wish I knew why it didn't. It seems that you don't have .NET Framework 4.8 installed, which is the current version. From what I understand, it hasn't been necessary for Sims 4, but perhaps that's changed.
The framework is compatible with Windows 7, including 32-bit, so you can try installing it:
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net48
You just need the runtime, not the developer pack.
If you get an error that it's already installed, let me know. It might be listed differently in Windows 7 (i.e. not right below .NET 3.5) for some reason.
