The RLST file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the RLST files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the RLST file on each system platform.
What is RLST file?
The file in the RLST format belongs to the Game Files category. The author of this format is Electronic Arts, Inc.. Game Files consists of 1509 similar files. Sims 3 Data is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The The Sims 3 application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Electronic Arts, Inc..
How to open RLST file?
An often recurring problem with Sims 3 Data is that RLST is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RLST files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RLST 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 3
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that The Sims 3 is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name The Sims 3 in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RLST files.
Programs to open RLST file
Remember to download programs supporting RLST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Sims 3 with RLST files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RLST file to open in the The Sims 3 application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the The Sims 3 application as the default for handling the RLST file.
Step 3. Update The Sims 3 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the The Sims 3 program, it is possible that Sims 3 Data requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Electronic Arts, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RLST file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RLST file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RLST file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RLST 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 RLST files changes over time. 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 RLST file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Electronic Arts, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RLST 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the RLST file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RLST file again. 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.
