 Same issue here, and your solution worked! My Win 10 only had the 2012 runtime, so I had to install the 2017 x86 and x64 files.

Thank you!

Thank for reading all this stuff

@noly_dr4  Please start by uninstalling your current copies of the 2015 (or 2017, or 2019) VC++ runtimes, both x86 and x64, as described in my earlier post, then download new copies from Microsoft.

When installing Sims 4, please do so by downloading directly from your Origin game library.  The very old version of the game on your DVD may not install correctly.

Welp, I tried this solution and it definitely stopped the error message from popping up on my screen, so at least that was accomplished. However, now Sims 4 doesn't open at all. What's worse is that Origin and Steam say that it's running, but it literally isn't. 

@SSimmySSimSSim  Try running both Steam and Origin as an admin: right-click on each shortcut and select "Run as administrator."  You can also run Sims 4 as an admin through its shortcut once the game launchers are open.

If that doesn't help, please try the other steps in this article:

Hi again! So, it turns out that your solution WAS correct. I realized that aside from the VCRUNTIME140_1.dll error, Controlled Folder Access was also interfering with my game. The reason The Sims 4 wouldn't actually open despite Steam and Origin presenting it as open was that it was "disabled" on CFA. After I allowed Sims 4 to run through Controlled Folder Access, everything started working again. Thank you so much for your help! <3

Thank you!! That solved my issues with the games both on steam and egs. You are a star!
