How to open SC4PATH file?

The main problem with SimCity 4 Network Paths Format is that the SC4PATH file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SC4PATH 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 SC4PATH 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the SimCity 4 program installed. This can be achieved by typing SimCity 4 into the operating system search engine.

Below you will find a list of applications that support SC4PATH files.

Programs to open SC4PATH file

Remember to download programs supporting SC4PATH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SimCity 4 with SC4PATH files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SC4PATH file to open in the SimCity 4 application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SC4PATH file with the SimCity 4 program.

Step 3. Update SimCity 4 to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SimCity 4 program with the SimCity 4 Network Paths Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 SC4PATH file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The SC4PATH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SC4PATH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SC4PATH file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SC4PATH 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 SC4PATH 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SC4PATH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SC4PATH 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SC4PATH to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SC4PATH to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SC4PATH file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
