How to open HIT file?
The main problem with The Sims Sound Format is that the HIT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that HIT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HIT 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 The Sims
The first step is to check if the computer has the The Sims program installed. This can be achieved by typing The Sims into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HIT with The Sims. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HIT files.
Programs to open HIT file
Remember to download programs supporting HIT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Sims with HIT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HIT file still does not use the The Sims program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HIT file with the The Sims program.
Step 3. Update The Sims to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the The Sims program, it is possible that The Sims Sound Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Electronic Arts, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HIT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The HIT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HIT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HIT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HIT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HIT file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HIT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HIT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the HIT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HIT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HIT to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
