error loading python dll python310.dll windows 7 sims-4

[JordanSkye]

I installed the updater v142 on my old Windows 7 laptop and update the Sims 4, but it doesn't run and gives me the error "error loading python dll python310.dll" The compiler obtained appears to be a newer Python runtime than the one described above. So, does anyone have a solution for Windows 7 or should I give up and use something recent:

You can try this: Sims 4 v142 uses Python 3.10, which isn’t fully supported on Windows 7. The easiest fix is to either update your OS to Windows 10/11 or install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2022 sometimes missing runtime files cause this error. Also, make sure your game is fully patched and that no old mods are conflicting. On Windows 7, it might still fail even with fixes, so upgrading Windows is the most reliable solution.
