Deleting App

I see people say they deleted the app and reloaded it. When I started to do this, Apple phone says data will be deleted. I’m having the frequently reported skipping issue and wondering if this might help. No one seems to be discussing or commenting on any fixes to this issue. Do you lose your city when you do this?  I don’t want to accidentally delete 2+ years of progress because EA keeps screwing up this game. 

Other than EA totally destroying the game, I enjoy playing it, but this skipping total ruins my enjoyment and is frustrating to me.  It makes me do things I don’t want to do because of the skipping or pausing.

  • No don’t delete it as you will lose your city. Just off load and reinstall if you can and that’s what I do at least once a week

    As long as you have your city linked somewhere to save, you can recover your city. You need to start a new city and play several levels until it allows you to log in to your old city.   Otherwise, if you don’t delete the data, it doesn’t fix anything. I do this every couple of years because simcity retains all old data and slows the game. It also uses up tons of memory. Deleting old data cleans up tons of useless old files.
