What are the mistakes in "Sims 4"?
First of all, it is worthwhile to figure out which errors are the most common in Sims 4. Error e1103, of course, comes first, it is out of competition, as it is very common. However, unfortunately, is not the only one, and you may encounter other problems along the way. It is worth noting that most of them are related to the fact that you do not have certain software and distribution kit necessary to run the game. So you first need to check not only the system requirements, but also the availability of the necessary software to run the game. If you have a licensed version of the game, then you have nothing to worry about, since in most cases the game automatically installs everything necessary for the game, but the pirated version will not be able to offer you this, and you will have to take care of all the programs that you need to install yourself so that your computer games work without any problems.
Common mistake
It's time to focus on the most common mistake that you may encounter when starting this project, as well as some other games. This error has the serial number e1103 and occurs when you try to start "Sims 4". Games on the computer refuse to start and give out a message stating the error number, as well as a text stating that the important rld.dll file is missing, which, in fact, fails to start. If you are a little familiar with computers, then this message will tell you that the game lacks some kind of data library file, without which it is impossible to launch. It is already important to know, but so far you can’t do anything until you find out what kind of file you need. Do not worry, this is not a terrible mistake at all, it can occur in many cases - even when you like a game online. Sims 4 is a modern project that is also prone to this error, so you need to figure out what kind of file you need to get it.
Visual c ++
As you already understood, this is not an error when installing Sims 4 - it appears only when you try to start the game. But what file is not enough to run? In fact, everything is quite simple - at the very beginning of the article it was already said that you definitely need to check the distribution, that is, some programs without which games simply will not work. The problem here is precisely in one of such programs - Visual C ++, it is it that you have not installed or is outdated. Thus, to solve this problem, you need to either install this software, or update it to the latest version, if you already have it installed. That's all - this way you can deal with the problem that your Sims 4 does not start. Error e1103, however, can be fixed by other methods.
Download the desired file
In Sims 4 , everyone can get an e1103 initialization error , so you need to know how to deal with it. Accordingly, it is better to consider several methods if one of them does not work. As you can already understand, the option described above is the most effective and correct. Now you’ll find out not the most correct method, which at the same time can still work. When you receive an error message, it indicates that the game is missing the rld.dll file - accordingly, you can use the so-called "wooden" method. In the search engine you need to type the name of this file - and you can easily find a sufficient number of sources from where you can download this particular file directly. After downloading, copy it to the game folder and try to run it again. Unfortunately, nobody can guarantee you a 100% successful result, but there is a chance that this method will work, and you can enjoy the game without problems.
Another version of the game
As mentioned earlier, in most cases, this error only appears if you are using a pirated version of the game. The licensed version automatically installs all the distribution necessary for the game. And if Sims 4 gives an error of this kind, then you can also think about downloading another version of a pirated copy - there are usually quite a lot of them on torrent trackers. Of course, you will have to spend a little more time, especially if you do not have the fastest Internet connection. However, in the end, you can find the highest quality repack that will save you not only from the error described above, but also from a number of other problems that could appear later with your previous version of the game.
Similar problems
As you can already understand, a variety of problems can be associated with the distribution. And the fact that they are extremely common suggests that people need to pay more attention to the related software that they are required to install for games. This would make the use of computer games much easier and more comfortable. For example, the same Sims 4 game may refuse to access you and not start on the basis that you do not have the msvcp120.dll file. As you can already notice, this is also a data library file, and from this we can already conclude that the problems are again related to the distribution. Only this time they are connected with another program, namely with VC Redist. Thus, if you want to reduce the number of errors that occur during the launch of pirated versions of games, then you should carefully monitor what kind of side-software you have installed on your computer and how relevant its version is, since it can also greatly affect no game will run on outdated distributions.
Licensed games
If you want to have no problems with computer games at all, then downloading and installing licensed versions is the best choice for you. Their only drawback is that you need to pay real money for them, but it is worth noting that this is a completely normal action - you don’t go to the cinema or theater for free, you don’t visit the restaurant at the expense of the establishment - it is also with computer games. Developers do their work, and you should pay for it if you want to use the result of their work.
Solving License Issues
Licensed copies of games in 99% of cases do not lead to any problems at all, and if there are any difficulties, they can be easily and quickly solved through technical support of the developer. For example, many gamers in Sims 4 do not have persistence, but this problem does not appear at all for anyone who owns a license.
