I use vmware and on mine i am using NAT
As @dalto pointed out you need to load the module

sudo modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon

I also set up the this for networking to start.

/etc/systemd/system/vmware-networks-server.service

ADD

[Unit]
Description=VMware Networks
Wants=vmware-networks-configuration.service
After=vmware-networks-configuration.service

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStartPre=-/sbin/modprobe vmnet
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vmware-networks --start
ExecStop=/usr/bin/vmware-networks --stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then enable the service and then start it.

sudo systemctl enable vmware-networks-server.service

sudo systemctl start vmware-networks-server.service

Edit: This is what is working for me.

Edit2: Corrected the typo
