Try to download Visual C++ 2015 86x and 64x.

EDIT: Also check if you have permissions (full access) to all game folder etc..
I've downloaded both, it doesn't seem to change anything. How do I check my permissions? It's my personal computer, so I should have access to any folder I create right?

Sims??? Ok.. let's start with your OS.

Second, are you using Playon***/Lutris or anything like that?

Thank you but it was the instructions I followed...I think I don't understand what to do with the winetricks
I don't think you followed this exact version. Winetricks is script which installs some Windows components which Wine needs.
After installing it, and cabextract, you use it to install that components, by typing in terminal:

Code:
sh winetricks quartz devenum ffdshow corefonts

The thing is, you need to follow the instructions EXACTLY. If you don't, you won't get the results you want. That's why I wanted to know exactly what you did.

1-First, I've installed wine staging.
2-Then, I've gone to the link from this sentence: "Now you need to get winetricks from ."
3-I've opened wine staging, which opened my terminal
4-I've copied all the text of the page from the 2nd operation with ctrl + A all to my terminal

you don't need to cd to the location after you copy the code press enter
Code:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
And finally install winetricks by using
Code:
brew install winetricks

Windows 10 users, if you are having difficulty running MotH and you use Citrix for work purposes, this will fix the problem for you so you won't have to uninstall Citrix from your PC. Happy gaming! Running it with administrator privileges may be required.
