What is an SGR file?

SGR files mostly belong to SimCity by Electronic Arts. SGR files are primarily associated with SimCity 4, a game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. The file extension stands for SimCity 4 Graphics Rules file.

Main Usage: SimCity 4 uses SGR files to store rules for how the program should use specific graphics card models. The files which use this extension are included within the SimCity 4 installation and are applicable to both the base game and its expansions.
Alternatives: The SGR file extension may also refer to a genome data file used by Integrated Genome Browser. These files are plaintext files which store genome data used in health and scientific research fields.

SGR file format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Below you will find our evaluation of the SGR files:

The SGR file extension is very common and includes various formats for various programs. But the following two file formats are common:

The files contain the following words: ############, # Logging settings, set logGroup "ConfigurationManager", set logLevelWarning warning and set logLevelIn. Examples of file names are Graphics Rules.sgr or GraphicsRules.sgr.
25% of all SGR files start with the bytes log, which are crucial for this file format. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. The files are on average 47 KB in size and range from 45 KB to 50 KB. The keywords log "Parsing configuration script", set ConfigGroup Config, setb textureMemorySizeOK true, endif, if ($textureMemory == 0), setb textureMemorySizeOK false, seti textureMemory 32, seti cp, if (not $isCardFound), include "GraphicsCards.sgr" and set cardName $cardNameText are typical for these files. The file name GraphicsRules.sgr is characteristic of these files.
