@KaderkovaViktori You can get the 2015-2019 VC++ runtimes, both x86 and x64, directly from Microsoft:

It's best to uninstall your current copies, if you have them, and then install fresh ones. Click Windows key-i, select Apps, and scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. Click on the 2015 (or 2017, or 2015-2019) versions, both x86 and x64, and Uninstall. (Don't touch the versions from any other year.) Then download and install the new runtimes.
You need both the x86 and x64 versions, but you can skip the ARM version, which is for a different class of device. Restart your computer before trying to play.

@KaderkovaViktori Try running Origin as an admin—right-click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"—and then repair the game—open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair. Then run Sims 4 as an admin as well. If you don't have a desktop shortcut, you can search for "TS4_x64" and use that.
If that doesn't help, uninstall the 2015-2019 runtimes again, then run the installers within the game's program files. Unless you changed the default install path in Origin, the full file path will be:
Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\__Installer\vc\vc2019\redist
Run both the x86 and x64 installers as an admin. Restart your computer after installing and before trying to play.
