    I had this issue as well. I tried multiple things, getting frustrated, before I found an article about  installing the VC ++ redistributable package.

    What I did:

    1. Go to Windows Update

    2. Click Installed Updates

    3. Find Update KB2918614 in the list and uninstall it.

    4. Restart your computer.

    5. Run Sims 4 installation again.

    6. Play Sims 4! Yay!!

    Hope this helps!
