@Ninkio01 Those files are part of the 2015-2019 VC++ runtimes, which Sims 4 and Origin both use. Try uninstalling your current versions, if you have any, and downloading new ones from Microsoft.
Click Windows key-i, select Apps, scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, click on the 2015, or 2017, or 2015-2019 versions (both x86 and x64), and Uninstall. Then download new copies of the 2015-2019 runtimes directly from Microsoft:

Again, you need both the x86 and x64 versions, but you can skip the ARM version, which is for a different class of device. After installing, restart your computer before trying to install Origin.
