I have no idea why I'm having this issue all of sudden but now there's this new bug that has appeared. All I wanted to do was clean out my cc and start over but after reinstalling the game, the game now crashes before the window pops open. In the crash log I'm getting DasmX86Dll.dll not found and the game never use to crashed because of this. I've already googled it and look at whole bunch of posts on it but I can't find a solution for it. I managed to get the game to open a few times after reinstalling but after I exit it just ends up crashing and says DasmX86Dll.dll not found in the crash log. I'm already reinstalling the game but I don't know if this will help. Could anyone help me out this issue? Thanks.

Reinstalling the program from scratch is almost never necessary unless you have a new hard drive or had been tampering with the files down in Program Files (x86). And, in fact, it will often be unsuccessful unless you clean the Windows Registry in between the uninstall and the reinstall because otherwise remnants of the prior one can be left behind and get in the way of the program running. Piriform's CCleaner is a good tool for registry cleaning (the free version is fine).
With all of these reinstalls, are you still working with the same TS3 user game folder in Documents? If that folder stays in place during an uninstall and reinstall, it can become damaged. It would be better to pull it out if so and let a new form on the next attempted startup, then work with that one.
Beyond that, we're going to need to learn about your hardware and system to provide any meaningful assistance most likely. A dxdiag report might help.

What to do with it: If you send it up to pastebin.com and provide a link, then we will be able to read it.

*Edit*
And it has nothing to do with the Crash Log Analyzer reporting it's own error it's reporting a missing .dll that EA forgot to remove references for.
Okay actually I'm totally and completely nuts LOL
yes sorry is it okay to post it here?
sorry never really done this before
If you go to pastebin.com, you can paste the entire full report in up there and you will get a link to it that you can provide here for others to read it.
Yes, you can paste the report in here in the thread instead, but you will have to do it section by section in many responses because it will be far too long to fit into one.

Yes. There is no personal info in it. It just gives info on all your computer hardware, Driver updates etc. This will help eliminate if you possibly have a hardware or windows software issue contributing to your game crashing.
okay thank you..just a minute
Oops after re-reading I did mistakenly think you where talking about CLA sorry

Are you using vsync? Is your fps capped at 60?
Have you cleaned your tower of dust? Have you had any heating issues with this computer?
you do have an older processor. Did you add the GTX 950 to this computer? What is your power supply? Did you upgrade your power supply when adding the GTX 950?
The second thing is that the OP might be suffering from side-effects of the recent Win 10 Creators Update, which can get in the way of the above among other things. For many players its effects need to be switched off for older games like TS3 (and many newer ones).

I bought the computer with the GTX 950, no I don't believe I had had any heating since my pc has a really good fan that keeps it cool.
Oo window mode is what i usually play in but ill give it a shot. As for Vsync do I need to have all that on or off?
Was the computer used when you bought it? It does have a low end older processor compared to the video card . Do you know what the power supply is? You only have one fan?
Follow @igazor instructions to make sure your FPS is capped. If this does not solve your crashing we can check other things.

To check the fps rate you are getting in-game (once you can actually get into the game that is), Ctrl+Shift+C to bring up the cheats console, then type fps on (enter). As you play and move the game camera around, the displayed rate should not exceed the refresh rate of your monitor. That's 60 Hz, so 60 fps. To make the display go away, cheats console again and fps off (enter).

I was using vsync, I had it on but i placed it back to adaptive
Have you tested to make sure it's working? use cheat testingcheatsenabled true, hit enter and then use cheat fps on . Your Fps will show up in the upper part of the screen while your in game. Does it read 60?
i can't get in game cause the it crashes before the window pops up but if i getting working then I will certainly do that.
Are you using mods? If you are maybe one of them is causing the crash.
Okay actually I'm totally and completely nuts LOL
I do use mods but it was crashing even when I had taken my mods/saves out
If you have Win 10 did you upgrade to 1709 and if so from which version 1607 or 1703.
I remember when my computer updated from 1607 to 1703 that when I uninstalled the Sims 3 and tried to reinstall it the game wouldn't load up anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens when updating to 1709.
