How to open SJS file?

The main problem with Simcity 3000 Buildings Add-on is that the SJS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SJS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SJS 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 3000 Unlimited Rendering Kit (SC3URK)

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SimCity 3000 Unlimited Rendering Kit (SC3URK) is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SimCity 3000 Unlimited Rendering Kit (SC3URK) into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SJS.

Step 2. Create association of SimCity 3000 Unlimited Rendering Kit (SC3URK) with SJS files

If, despite the installed application, the SJS file does not start in the SimCity 3000 Unlimited Rendering Kit (SC3URK) application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SimCity 3000 Unlimited Rendering Kit (SC3URK) application as the default for handling the SJS file.

Step 3. Update SimCity 3000 Unlimited Rendering Kit (SC3URK) to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SimCity 3000 Unlimited Rendering Kit (SC3URK) program, it is possible that Simcity 3000 Buildings Add-on requires a newer version of the program.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 SJS 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SJS 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SJS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SJS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SJS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SJS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Electronic Arts, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SJS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move SJS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SJS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SJS 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.
