Re: Sims 4 says invalid license reason code = Missing DLL msvcp120.dll error 0xc1

@jpkarlsen 

Thanks for your answer but it still doesn't work after I ran the vcredist_x64 and 86.

@Trova2 

Rightclick the game in Origin Game library and select repair.

@jpkarlsen 

Sorry, but I forgot to add in the description of the question that I have already repaired the game.

@Trova2 

Please uninstall Origin. Then download the latest version here: https://www.origin.com/dnk/en-us/store/download
After installation login to the account you have The Sims 4 on. Rightclick the game in your game library and select Repair.

@jpkarlsen 

I did all of that, but, I still have the problem.

@Trova2 

Did you install yesterday's update?

Hi I have this problem also, EA games and Microsoft support have tried various things, including your advice.  Sims 3 works fine.  Please help.

Please try to run this command "SFC /scannow"

Hi Microsoft support have tried that before, and I have just tried it again, no luck. In your experience would you say its a Microsoft issue or a game issue?

Yes, I did.

Please try to run Origin as Administrator and start the game from Origin Game Library. See if that works.

Edit:

Just to make sure You did run both the x86 and x64 installers from both of the directories from the image I posted earlier?

@Trova2 @jashingtons 

Hi, I've just tried it, same error code shows.  Yes I did the update yesterday too.

@jpkarlsen 

I have already run the x86 and x64 installers and ran Origin as Administrator and still, the error is not gone.

Hi, it worked! Thank you, my daughter is over the moon.  The 3rd link fixed it, and I didnt have to run SFC/scannow.

@jashingtons 

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it worked.
