The EA game advisor might ask you to perform a couple of troubleshooting steps you can find over here for Apple or Android. You can try those before contacting them, or while you're waiting on a reply.

If you're asked to clear data or reinstall the app, make sure your app is being back-upped to the App store or EA account.
The backup options might have turned off during a previous update. Your app will reset, but after creating a Sim you should get the popup to restore from the cloud.

I play the game on two devices. I have played on my iPad in the morning, then off and on throughout the day on my phone. When I get home to the iPad, it forgets the days progress on my phone and sets me back to the point I was at during the morning. This has happened for the past two days. So I’ve lost a bit of progress on the Winter Warm-Up, I was at level 17, but I went back to 15, today.

It sounds to me like your game needs to be reverted back to a previous save point @brohemx. We can't do that on this forum.

The cause might be a bad connection or your save being broken in some way or form and that would also be something CS can have a better view on.

Who is cs ?

@brohemx Customer Support via EA Help in-game and/or thru EA Help social media accounts maybe able to help you

yeah i contacted EA help and they only help with basic troubleshooting and they said they could not fix this problem.  

Hi @brohemx,

You are correct, Facebook is not a medium where they could offer help aside from troubleshooting. This may need the specialists to take a look at which will require getting in touch with the Customer Support team. Could you send in a Help ticket to the support team please?

You can create a Help ticket from within your game. Phantom shared these steps:
