After a bit of googlling, it seams you need the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
You can get it there :

thankyou, i'll have a look at that. it's happening for sims 3 and sims 4.

I upgraded it. should i have clean installed it?
Did installing the C++ runtime fixed it?

Looking at my own PC, I have the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2014 and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2008. Not 2012.
I think steam did install that for me at some point for whatever game needed it.
It takes time but it'll get you the file bac.

Don't forget the forum rules are on the forum- go find 'em!
I recommend doing clean installs just to prevent issues. From reading some of the post it works fine if you do the clean install.
