Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Error messages with MSVCP140.DLL/VCRUNTIME140.dll

This has worked!! Thank you so much 😃

I am lasso still having this problem my game says that it is unable to start correctly. 

I feel your pain, I can't launch the game at all. I don't get an error message though, it just will not load.

Still not working for me. Extremely frustrating! now my computer (Which is a gaming computer) is running stupid slow. please fix ASAP!

Hi, so I was updating my Sims 4 game and when it was done I tried to get in, but instead of loading screen I got a popup from my desktop that said my computer was unable to find a specific file, I have a Windows. I've attached some screenshots, can I get a hand?

Hello, if anyone is still running into this error with MSVCP140.DLL or VCRUNTIME140.DLL, can you please send screenshot(s) of the list of  "Microsoft Visual C++" Redistributables you have installed?  You can find these in the list of installed programs/apps.

This fixed the problem! Thank you so much! 

My game won't load at all. When I press play in origin I get the error message:

VCruntime140.dll was not found and msvcp140.dll was not found.

I have no mods/ cc installed. I reinstalled both origin and sims 4 and it still happens.

I have attached the dxdiag file.

@crinrictI updated my comp and game last night and now I get (igoproxy64.exe) every time origin opens.
it says: "The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."
I've gone into my comp system and repaired but it didn't fix the problem.
Any ideas?
it just started after the game update.

I also uninstalled and redownloaded origin and the game is still currently uninstalled.

I've taken out my mods before I updated the game. When It was finished updating and I click to play it refused to open. Before the update, I've been getting a lot of "last exception" messages in my game notif tab (Idk what that means so I ignored it and before I removed them from the game I had over 200 of these files in the Sims 4 file)

I've taken out the mod/cc files, saves files and tray files and uninstalled the game and reinstalled the game and It still refuses to open and Idk what to do. Uploaded below is the message I get after trying to open the Sims 4.

I just updated my game for the big November update and now my game wont load. It keeps coming up with a code execution error that says: "code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."  I also get the same message for "VCRUNTIME140.dll" too. I already removed my mods and tried repairing the game but keep getting this message. I would really prefer to not have to reinstall and risk losing my current saves. Does anyone have any advice? Help please!

Try to download the VC++ files directly from Microsoft. Both x64 and x86 are needed:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Also run SFC /scannow

I have had the same issue.  I have reinstalled Origin, deleted all mods, and have done a system restore to prior to the update, at which point the game worked.  After updating the sims again, I've got the same issue, so am (again) doing a system restore.  I've pre-purchased Snowy Escape and am not going to be happy if I am unable to use it or any of the new features due to the update breaking my computer. (This issue affects other programs)

Thanks so much for your solution. 😌
