Hi there!
I was going to make a mod for a ling tim, and finally I have tried and failed.
Is it even possible on Win10 x64 with VS 2019 to make a mod for TS3? Because no matter how I try, game just crash on start, telling me I'm missing DasmX86Dll.dll. Besides that I have problems with referncing mscorlib and System.dll/System.Xml.dll. Maybe that's the reason, not sure. If I remove my mod, game launches. Any other mod not causing it to crash, only my mod does.
So if someone could tell me what am I doing wrong, it would be great

Hello!

This is the tutorial I followed successfully to setup a project in VS, however I achieved this with VS 2012 Express and not VS 2019: https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?ti..._Studio_project.

Following the above should resolve the error message related to mscorlib. I also recommend to get the unprotected game DLLs over at ChainReaction's github profile: https://github.com/Chain-Reaction/NRaas

What mod are you creating? Would love to know more about that.

Thanks for your reply!


Yeah, I followed that tutorial to setup a project, still I have issues adding references to 3 dll's - mscorlib, System and System.Xml, event thoug I add them manually to the .csproj. IDE says those references not found or not supported. Have no idea why other dll are fine, and specifically those 3 are not.


I'll take a look, thank you!



In general I'm trying to figure out how TS3 modding is done I'm not a newbie in programming, I'm a newbie in TS3 modding.

I think the unprotected DLLs should solve your problem then! And I hear you, regarding being a newbie at TS3 modding. It's a skill in and of itself, right? Good luck with everything!

It truly is

Thanks for your help. I'll try those DLL's and reply if what

I use Win 10 x64 but Vis 2015.

First this tutorial https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?ti..._Studio_project
Use the VS2012 and above instructions where applicable.

Then this https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?ti...ripting_Modding
Additional Preparations in Visual Studio section.

You made sure to use .NET 2.0 right?

Look at this post too https://forums.thesims.com/en_us/di...l-dll-not-found

I followed that tutorial.


And this too.


Yep.

As I metioned in the OP, only my mod was causing the game to crash. So it's not a graphic card issue, nor any other related to hardware. The issue was ib the mod itself.

Update on a situation. I downloaded NRaas repo and used one of his projects as a setup to my own. It compiled, game launched. Success! Almost... The mod is not working, or I just didn't noticed it. Also I have no errors or warnings in my project, but unable to Ctrl+click to see definitions from references.

By the way the mod is from this tutorial: https://simswiki.info/wiki.php?titl...Getting_Started

Well, thank you both, I will try to figure out why my project was spoiled, because I took a NRaas project, compiled it and it works. It's just me who has paws

Good luck with everything! Glad you could somehow figure it out.
