Installing Sims 4 game on PC/Win 7. Got the VC++ runtime error. Followed the posted solution but no luck. Here is install log at the point of failure: 15:03:23 Start redistributables install phas...
Try installing it from here:

I believe it is also in the game's main data folder (in \Origin Games\)
\Sims4\__Installer\vc\vc2013\redist\vcredist_x86.e
Don't have the game installed near me at the minute so that probably isn't exactly correct but it should be darn close.
Run it as Administrator.
This seems to have fixed some VC errors for others:
