Updates Should Carry Over

Thanks! I know it's just a game, but when you work on something daily and then have it all wiped without warning, it kind of puts you off.

Thank you!

Was quite pleased w/lvl47 update to still be able to be happily enjoy my continued final quest to get UBO & Hovercopter this wknd, having grinded out 1k yet rings yesterday, then needed 2k more. And low and behold awoke this morning to see the friggin forced update went thru on the ipad :evil: ....not the case on my freemium town on my android :!:
...once again EA's win as in my remaining Halloween rage/binge went & grabbed a couple items for that town (which did already have some decent freebies from donuts earned).
Eeehhhh (in Krusty voice).
Se la vi 'till Hlwn'15 :roll:

Do you have automatic updating for this app enabled in iTunes? Updates to remove events normally have to be downloaded from iTunes/Play store and the only way that happens automatically is if the setting for this app is enabled.

In full-on Krusty/Eric Cartman stunned realization rage voice: :shock: SON OF A B**** :!:

...another lesson painfully learned :roll:

Yeah was just about to say no forced update yet on my iPad but I'm getting all antsy. Expected it to hit by now so I keep wondering if I can push it a little longer or if I should just go craft. Hate trying to use leftovers because I keep debating how to split things. Really wanted one more hut but not quite there and then that means no extra bushes or fences so I can't decide and I'm making myself crazy. May almost be a relief if the force update comes before I decide. See, you don't have to deal with this agony now. ;)

If you can downgrade by installing an older version of the game you should be able to recover your craftables, spend them all crafting and then update again.

...glad to share the pain :lol:

...let's officially retitle this 'The Agony & The Ecstacy Thread'


(...& thx for the thought Fuffazzoni... Just contacted EA about it; said they could revert to pre-level 47 but it would not allow Halloween crafting, (and they clarified the event is indeed over & updates are coming thru for everyone) plus all progress would be lost from yesterday, so that option isn't worthwhile...
Last thought will be to attempt signing on the non-updated android device).

I'm a new player who started with the alien invasion. I was playing as usual and had a ton of resources I collected from it that I didn't craft into anything yet even though I had enough for it (like the great pumpkin, the queen) since I was trying to collect as much as possible first.

I went to visit a friend's town today and it said I couldn't because they had newer content and that I had to update, so I went to update not realizing the update would get rid of everything I earned during the alien invasion. That was time wasted for nothing because I didn't even get a chance to craft anything out of the resources. If I knew the update was going to erase it all, I would have taken care of that stuff first.

There should really be a warning for people new to the game that it works that way. I figured it was like Sims Freeplay where updates add content, but don't delete anything you collected during the old ones. If resources from updates don't carry over in Tapped Out, then there should be warnings in the game before you update so you know what you're going to lose.

Unless I'm missing something and all of my resources are still buried somewhere in the game available for me to craft?

Not being funny but there was a timer telling you when the event was going to end, you should have cashed in all your stuff before the time was up to be safe than sorry.

But saying that i was a bit gutted I wanted 1 more spooky wall before getting rid of the update but my iPad automatically updated without asking, guess it will be another year now before I can finish my wall around my graveyard area. Unless EA add packs of spooky walls at a reasonable price, wish they was there all year round.

Well, from her post she was a new player and had completely different expectations of the update. And we were able to keep crafting for a day and a half after the counter expired, so I can see how it was confusing for a new player. Several other people have posted on the forum how they wish more guides or instructions were included with the game.

Anyway, I expect the spooky walls will return next Halloween, this was their 2nd year after all. I know it would be frustrating, but maybe you can use a cobblestone wall and cover it up with a tree or some other decoration?
