SCS file format is required by SimCity Societies for saving game data. The file is categorized as game files. This file is created by the game application when the user saves the progress of the game.
This allows the user to resume the game at the saved point. The data which is stored in SCS file includes the type of terrain selected, buildings location and number, current city situation including crime rate, electricity and water requirement, health situation, literacy rate and available resources. The user cannot access the content stored in this file and the file is not writeable. It is overwritten when new progress is saved.
In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .SCS file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:
A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .SCS file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .SCS file, so download the update and check again.
If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:
It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .SCS extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .SCS file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.
