What is an SSV file?

SSV files mostly belong to Microsoft Excel. SSV files are used in different technical areas. They are plain text files where the data is organized with semicolon delimiters.
Game Save Data:

The Stardew Valley save file is stored as an SSV file. It contains game state and progress information that the game engine loads to resume play.

Delimited Data Files:

Some SSV files are similar to CSV files but use semicolons instead of commas to separate values. These files can hold structured data such as records or error reports (for example, an error report from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central). For details on SAP usage, see SAP.

Configuration Settings:

Certain SSV files are used as settings or configuration files. An example is the ServoStar settings file used by MotionLink systems to store configuration parameters.

FilExt.com notes: Inspecting the file with a plain text editor may help to identify its structure. If the file contains rows of values separated by semicolons, loading it into a spreadsheet application and setting the delimiter to semicolon may reveal its content. If it seems structured for a game or device setup, it should be opened with the corresponding software.

How to open an SSV file

You need a suitable software like Microsoft Excel to open an SSV file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SSV file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SSV file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

SSV file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our evaluation of the SSV files is as follows:
