How to open EXMP file?
The main problem with SimCity 4 Cohort Data Format is that the EXMP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file EXMP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EXMP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SimCity 4
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SimCity 4 is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SimCity 4 into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EXMP with SimCity 4. Below you will find a list of applications that support EXMP files.
Programs to open EXMP file
Remember to download programs supporting EXMP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SimCity 4 with EXMP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EXMP file still does not use the SimCity 4 program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SimCity 4 application as the default for handling the EXMP file.
Step 3. Update SimCity 4 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SimCity 4 program, it is possible that SimCity 4 Cohort Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Maxis website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EXMP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EXMP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EXMP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EXMP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EXMP files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EXMP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EXMP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the EXMP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EXMP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
