Crash To Desktop: DasmX86Dll.dll not found

One of the more common questions I see about game crashes is:

“My crash log says ‘DasmX86Dll.dll not found.’ What is DasmX86Dll.dll? Where can I get it?”

DasmX86Dll.dll is not the reason for your crash. You can see here where a SimGuru explains what DasmX86Dll.dll is:

The dasmdx86.dll is an artifact of the error reporting process – a placeholder for another error. That particular .dll does not exist, except in a testing environment.

The most common causes of crashing issues are:

• Build and Save Crash: Crash to Desktop when adding another floor to lot
• Outdated Mods, or Broken Mods
• Bad Custom Content (including poorly created objects, hairs, clothes etc.)
• Not Enough Memory (less than 4GB RAM available for TS3).
• Overheated Graphics card (you may need an FPS Limiter if you have a nice graphics card)
