Question - Reinstalling

#1

Post by dockinoke »

Before I do anything, what will appen if I remove and then install back the game, without clicking on "erase data"?
Will it keep all settings in the new installation?
(speaking about the same device)

Question 2: in a new device, like from smartphone to tablet, what files should I keep to migrate all maps?

Hi dockinoke,

all cities will be stored in a directory TheoTown/maps. A deinstallation won't remove this directory, so you can just reinstall it, your cities will still be there.
In order to migrate your cities to another device, you just have to copy the contents of TheoTown/maps :) .

Just as a note: TheoTown/maps won't exist, if you didn't grant TheoTown access to external storage. In order to solve this you would have to grant TheoTown access via the Android settings. After restarting TheoTown, TheoTown/maps should exist.

What do you mean specifically with "can't use them or open" do they not appear in the game or do they appear but you cannot open the citys (If that throws any errors please post it here). :bt
