My Game is STILL Being Accessed by An UNAUTHORIZED PERSON

Hi @DeeCeeWis,

Given you changed your account, if no one else is using your mobile device, I would say this looks more like an error with the game than someone accessing your account to inspire your Sims. 

Do you see any changes in your game apart from your Sims being inspired? Did you download your game from Google Play?

Thanks for replying but not for suggesting someone else has access to my mobile device because I can assure you that's not the case.  I've had this game for years and play in a way perhaps contrary to how others play - this is not the first time this has happened.  I can't imagine a scenario where this would happen repeatedly - can you?  I've tried working with firemonkeys but they are essentially useless - is there an EA neighbor that is always there?  There must be because as I said - I deleted google play from my device, created a brand new email address that I only use with the Sims Freeplay and that neighbor still showed up on the party boat - which I never connect to.  I also stay disconnected from Google play the majority of the time - only connecting infrequently to upload my game to the cloud.  This default neighbor is the only thing I can see is causing my issue.  I don't want this neighbor, friends or any other way to connect to my game.

Hi DeeCeeWis, What you are describing is not possible. Neighbors cannot access your game. The only way for a person to access your game is if you give them the email address for FB or Google+ that you use to access your game. Since as you have reported, you changed your email as well as the password, it isn’t possible for someone to access your game. When party boat neighborsmvisit your town, they are visiting your save data not your live game. While it is possible for a Firemonkeys game tech to access your live game, I can’t see them singling out a random player to visit their town and inspire their sims. There is a default if you don’t visit your game for a few days that will inspire all of your sims though. Also food for thought. You don’t own your game. EA/ Firemonkeys owns the rights to your game as stated in their user agreement. By signing the UA, you are stating you agree with those terms. This grants you usage rights only.

Hi @DeeCeeWis,

You are asking for help to the community, @cdndragonfly was only trying to help.

As they explain - it's not possible for someone to access your game through the party boat if you downloaded the game from official sources, Google Play or App Store.

Yes, there is a default neighborhood you can visit if you don't have friends. This is not another player's neighborhood, but one created in the game so you can have 'someone' to visit even without connecting your game to Facebook/Google Play.

Hi DeeCeeWis, I only brought up the UA to explain that going to the online better business  bureau for thinking the developer is accessing your game is a fruitless task. There are a few different ways your sims can become inspired on their own. 1. Was not playing a few days. (I know you’ve stated you play everyday so that’s out) 2. Updating your game inspires all of your sims. Honestly, I don’t think anyone is accessing your game. If EA/Firemonkeys is, they are well within their right to do so. But are they? 

Good luck hope you get it sorted!

DeeCeeWis, The UA doesn’t restrict asking questions. The BBB isn’t going to respond to a complaint about a developer doing something they are legally allowed to do. That is even if they are accessing your game, which I don’t think is happening. Sorry I can’t be of more help. Maybe get better documentation and put in another ticket for Support at Firemonkeys? Hope ya get it sorted! Good luck!
