Re: How to move sims 4 to external drive on the EA app?

Do you have any idea why I'm getting the error of: 

VC++ runtime package has not installed correctly

The steps to fix it online are origin centred and I can't find redists in my program files.

    @Ramrunner73  You can find the VC++ runtimes under Windows Settings > Apps, and uninstall from there.  Most of the runtimes can be downloaded here:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

    The 2022 runtimes replace anything from 2015 or newer, but the 2013 and earlier runtimes are standalone, meaning if you have an app that requires for example the 2010 runtimes, you need the 2010 versions and can't simply rely on the 2022 versions.  The other uninstall/reinstall instructions are independent of Origin: remove them through Settings > Apps, download new copies, install, restart, test.

    If this doesn't help, please post a screenshot of the error.
