How to open WSO file?
An often recurring problem with Sims 3 Mesh is that WSO is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WSO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WSO 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the The Sims 3 program installed. 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support WSO files.
Programs to open WSO file
Remember to download programs supporting WSO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Sims 3 with WSO files
If, despite the installed application, the WSO file does not start in the The Sims 3 application, you must create a file association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WSO file with the The Sims 3 application.
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The fault may also lie with the The Sims 3 program, it is possible that Sims 3 Mesh requires a newer version of the program.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 WSO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WSO file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WSO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WSO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WSO files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WSO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Electronic Arts, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WSO 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WSO to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WSO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WSO file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
