After the newest update release just before the snowy escape expansion pack, the sims won't run anymore. Whenever I try to play I get error messengers from origin saying that VCRUNTIME140.dll and MSVCP140.dll are both missing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled origin to no avail, and have repaired all the vcredist files too. Anyone have anything similar happen to them?

I’m also still getting the error message. I contacted EA Help multiple times and just for an answer saying that they’re aware of the issue, multiple people have this problem, and they are working on a fix that they are hoping to get out soon.
So i guess for now we just have to be patient.

I was having the same issue and everything I tried did not work. I then opened up my programs file on my pc that shows what apps I have installed. I clicked on each app that said visual c ++ and clicked modify and then repair. That seemed to get my game running again.

@cappoquin I've merged your post with the master thread for this issue. Please uninstall the relevant VC++ runtimes, as described in the accepted solution on page one, and restart your computer before testing.

Hi, I updated my sims 4 game today, and now it will not start. It comes up a message that says “kodekjøring kan ikke fortsette fordi MSVCP140.dll ikke ble funnet. Ny installasjon av programmet kan kanskje løse problemet» I have tried everything I repaird it, updated it multiple times and I uninstalled both origin and the sims 4 multiple times. I don’t understand why it won’t work, I have taken all the mods and that stuff out of my games, but still the message comes up everytime I try to play the game.

Hello @decorativebread
There are a couple other things you may need to try:
- Running Origin and Sims 4 as Administrator
and/or
- Checking your antivirus tool to see if it's blocking Sims 4

I uninstalled and reinstalled visual c to no avail. I have to assume this is an origin issue as everything was working fine for me until two days ago when they did the latest patch. So frustrating. Just seems there’s nothing to do now until they can find a way to fix it..
also his repair on Sunday 4 so see if it worked and now just running On a loop of updates. It’s “updated” each game about 8 times now.
