0xc000007b error

I keep having the error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." I've scoured the forums and read all possible "fixes" and have not had luck.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the redist files, I've turned off my firewall and completely removed my anti-virus *gasp*, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Sims 4 at least 6 times since yesterday, and I have have, each time, applied the ultimate fix.

When I click on the icon on my desktop, it asks me "the publisher could not be verified, Are you sure you want to run this software?" And I have to click "run". Idk if that has anything to do with it.

HALP.

Hello and welcome to the forum,


Make sure that you also de-activate "Windows Defender" or "Microsoft Security Essentials", if you have it. See again this here: 
https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t18501-unable-to-start-initialization-error-at-startup-updated-on-6-3-2015

And AFTER (re-) doing this procedure, try re-downloading the crack-only here:
http://bit.ly/1dL2nT0

Copy & paste those files (inside the .RAR) into C:\Program files(x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Game\Bin. When prompted, overwrite the existing files. Then re-start the game, and see if that shows any improvement.

I'm sorry to hear that you were not lucky with our tutorials/guides and any other posts we made, but please acknowledge that we can only do and say so much as our "experience" allows us. And yes, even though you may not believe it, these problems are almost always due to something interfering with the crack of the game.

If you really cannot get it working, then I'm afrid that - for now - you'll need to let it be. Until we maybe find different ways to "present" the information and guides in an easier way.

I had completely removed MSE. I have added the program to my firewall and turned my firewall off. I have put the crack in multiple times.

The link you gave me is for a different error, but I tried it nonetheless.

I'm still not having any luck.

The link I posted has a different topic title than yours, yes. But still, it is essential to do. Just because the topic title of a "fix" is different you should not automatically assume that it is useless/not helpfule or whatever.   You can be "curious", yes, but in the end, you can trust me that when I suggest something on the forum here, then I mean it.
