So it still crashes right away but it does start without the launcher, right ?
Maybe you have more luck with Sims 2.
Do you have Origin installed at all ? If so, what happens if you uninstall that ?
Well i just had a same problem just with Sims 2. But i just fixed it when i open TS2.exe not launcher. But with Sims 3 it's not working.

Does Sims 2 still run now or do you get the same error ?
- ApprovedAnonymous11 years ago
It works. But im talking about, that then i trying go Sims 3 .exe it says that error.

Really not sure why that DLL suddenly gives you an error like that.
Did you reinstall the game yet (I can't remember what you've tried, sorry)
- ApprovedAnonymous11 years ago
Yes i reinstalled. I don't understand too, because i run Sims 2.exe and it's runs perfect, but Sims 3.exe not works, and says that error.. :/

It's possible that Sims 2 doesn't use that dll.
Try one of the sites I linked you a few posts back. Really don't know how to help you further. Sorry.

It's ok, i fixed Sims 3 ^^ but i have other little problem, when i play sims 3 after ~30-40 mins. Sims 3 freezes, and turning off. Maybe somehow it's impossible to fix?
