FAR files are native to The Sims computer game. FAR is an archive file format used for storing game data. FAR format doesn’t support compression. FAR archives typically hold object data from IFF files. FAR files can also contain textures or animations.

FAR files are used during the game’s installation to create needed resources, but can be also installed individually as game add-ons, which can offer additional skins, wall and floor textures, etc. FAR files can be opened using dedicated third-party software tools.
