Issues Opening SCS Files

SimCity Societies is Not Installed

If you attempt to load your SCS file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open SCS Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to SimCity Societies missing in %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: Another SCS-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Obsolete Version of SimCity Societies

In other instances, your SimCity Societies Saved Game File file version may not be supported by your version of SimCity Societies. Visit the Tilted Mill Entertainment website to download (or purchase) the latest version of SimCity Societies. The primary cause of this problem is that your SimCity Societies Saved Game File file was created by a different (newer) version of SimCity Societies than what's installed.


Tip: Investigate your SCS file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Summary: Not having the right SimCity Societies version on your computer can cause problems opening SCS files.


Other SCS File Issues

Although you might already have SimCity Societies or another SCS-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening SimCity Societies Saved Game File files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading SCS files, other external issues might be to blame. Additional factors include:

  • Windows Registry SCS file paths that are incorrect
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry SCS description
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the SCS format
  • Your SCS file is corrupted (issues with your SimCity Societies Saved Game File file itself)
  • The SCS is infected with a virus
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your SCS file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your SimCity Societies Saved Game File file successfully
