rebopbass Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 hey guys, I have bought the Sims 4. Now Origin has decided i can't play anymore (i still run Win7) and it seems they don'T wan tto suppurt it anymore. So i've got this game i paid for and those expansion packs, and all that money going to the shitters because Origin is not allowing me to play anymore. Is there any way i can bypass that? even if that means i can no longer make updates?
TabooGood Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Can you give some more information here? As far as I'm aware TS4 fully supports Win7. What happens when you try to start the game?
darkconsole Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 my origin account was hacked a while back and i loss access to my alice madness returns. they havent responded after 3 months. ended up just having to liberate it.

rebopbass Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 when i start the game or Origin, it gives me an error message: it says it can't start and i need to get "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-|1-1-0-dll" and that happened right after an Origin update... customer support told me i had to reinstall my C++... it's their update that caused the problem... I can't even open up origin since then... that happened late this summer. i vowed not to ever use anything related to Origin, but it pisses me off because i paid for this game
GECK.O Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Reinstall your origin. If it's still troubled, reinstall all your origin game too, along with the origin. The last, reinstall your windows.
Savinera Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Sims 4 is playable on Windows XP so you cannot blame it on the compatibility here.

howzitaloha Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 This happened to me this summer immediately after an Origin update. I just had to completely uninstall Origin, restart my computer, reinstall origin (and the games, so it took awhile) and then restart my computer again and it worked. Also make sure TS4 isn't running silently in the background by ending any Origin or TS4 programs in the task menu.

The 2017 and 2015 VC++ Redistributables (first two links) also work for some people. Windows Update probably should have installed the update ages ago and Origin should have installed it if it needed it but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
sexicindi Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Hi! I had this problem a while ago too. You need to delete your Origin files and reinstall it. The problem is that sometimes when Origin updates, it puts in a file that has no administrator information, so when Origin tries to update, it causes issues because no one has permissions to delete the file. You can't even delete it in normal Windows mode because there's no administrator set for it. What you need to do is restart your computer in Safe Mode, delete the file file, restart in normal Windows, and finally do a fresh install of Origin. Hope this helps!
