Re: Upgrading device - Do I lose my city?

I just did this. Never mind the social data link, google or facebook, it sucks. Here is what I did -

Connect your device to a PC.

Go to the folder on your device with file explorer in Windows -

     \Internal storage\Android\data

Copy the folder -

      com.ea.game.simcitymobile_row

I copied and pasted it to my desktop as a backup just in case.

Connect your NEW device to a PC.

Go to the folder on your NEW device with file explorer in Windows -

     \Internal storage\Android\data

Paste/Overwrite with the file-

     com.ea.game.simcitymobile_row

No need to do the tutorial or anything like that.

Also, if you want to play, transfer it to a pc, also easy.  Works great, faster, fun..

Using the above info.

Download and install bluestacks

     www.bluestacks.com

In bluestacks, download and install Sim City Build it.

In Bluestacks, download and install ES File Explorer.

Go to the folder on your device with file explorer in Windows -

     \Internal storage\Android\data

Copy the folder -

      com.ea.game.simcitymobile_row

Go to the folder on your PC -

     C:\ProgramData\Bluestacks\UserData\SharedFolder

Paste/Overwrite with the file-

     com.ea.game.simcitymobile_row

Open ES File Explore in Bluestacks

Navigate to the folder -

     storage - sdcard - windows - BstSharedFolder

Long clike the folder inside and copy it

      com.ea.game.simcitymobile_row

Navigate to the folder

      storage - sdcard - Android - data

Paste with the file -

     com.ea.game.simcitymobile_row

Again, No need to do the tutorial or anything like that. Also it works vice versa.
