When Tapped Out Uses All of your Storage

I was Lucky to get a update doesn't matter how I delete storage on my IPhone and IPad Tapped Out takes the majority of my storage I remember a couple of years ago The game said cleaning up obviously you can't activate it the MB's went Down massively It wasn't an update it just said on the start menu Cleaning up.
  • The highest mine has been was 1.5GB & that was years ago. Since then it has maintained itself way below 1GB. My advice to the OP is for him/her to check their device storage and see what’s eating up the space. This is what I always recommend to all users daily as I deal with this a lot at work.
  • My app also uses 2.16GB of storage. It's not really an issue for the (android) device I play it on, but I assumed that this was the norm.
  • I have TSTO on an external SD Card, which I unmount and mount every night and plug it back in every morning.

    I used to have it on my phone as apart of the internal storage, but it quickly became a data hog and I had to come up with a compromised to be able to keep playing.

    I think there are at least 2 versions for each OS. A hi-res graphics version for newer devices (2GB) and a low-res version for older devices (1GB). LPN would likely know more about it.

    Interesting!
    I'm definitely using hi-res version.

    So how on earth does 132mb + 1755mb = 2.15gb then. :o :o :o
  • So yet again I get this :-1: :-1:
    No matter how much I delete apps, photos etc I still get this message mind you at least it's not Bart Simpson telling me to try again I've played Tapped Out since it started looks like my days are finished I'll just have to play The Simpsons Hit & Run which is a better game by a mile :).

    Also, since iOS 13 launched. Apps themselves and the future update downloads take up less storage on iOS devices.


    I have also played since 2012 and I play five max-size towns on my iPad


    My iPhone shows a similar size and plays well.

    Do you have a lot of photos/videos in your Messages app taking up storage? I have 18GB in mine and need to take some time to delete a bunch :)
  • Perhaps you should look into buying an SD Card. Move the app to it, and make sure you safely unmount and mount the SD Card.

    (Basically, make sure you safely eject the Card, and format your phone so that the next time you plug the SD Card in; the phone will recognize it.)
