Convert SIM files online for free
The converter easily converts your SIM file to various formats - free and online. No Windows Backup or extra software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other Data formats to SIM with high quality output.
The .SIM file extension is a "chameleon" format used by over twenty different software applications to store simulation, backup, or modeling data. The most common technical origin is an Artlantis Shader file used for 3D rendering materials, followed closely by SAP Tutor files used for interactive corporate training. Other frequent uses include Steam game backup chunks, The Sims character data, and SIMA surveying data exchange files.
Because .SIM files are often proprietary binary containers, users frequently struggle to open them without the original creating software. For example, a Steam .SIM file cannot be played directly; it must be "restored" via the client. Similarly, SAP files require the proprietary player. However, for text-based simulation data (like SIMA or CircuitSim) or older data formats, users often need to convert these files to bypass proprietary lock-in.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our SIM converter.
