@cmarkgraf674  First thing to try is to uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package using the control panel and download and install the package from Microsoft.

Hello, I am having kind of the same issue with robotdog345. When I download and install the sims 3 and the packs, and that was no issue. but when I was trying to play it on origin. They said I need to update the NET Framework 3.5 (includes NET 2.0 and 3.0), but it won't install. It keep saying that Windows couldn't find required files to complete the requested changes. Erroe code 0x800F081F. Please help! I don't know what to do.

@dudie57  Is your computer a pc or mac? Did the game ever work? Are you running any third party antivirus or ad blocker software?

@alexisbryant79  I am assuming you have a pc. Did you download .net framework from Microsoft? Windows 10 includes .net framework and the download version does not work for Windows 10. You need to open control panel - programs and features - turn windows features on or off - enable .net framework 3.5

i just done this and now i cant do anything until i get the net.framework 3.5 ! now it's saying that they can't find the file how can i get this back !

@unicorn_vdb26  What file is missing? Did you enable .(not download - the download from MS won't work) net framework 3.5?

I tried that, but they said I need to download some require files. Like windows updates. But I have too many updates, to download them. Is their any other way to download them one by one?
