Use wifi.

yeah, 75mb :lol:

like i said, when i'm at home i use wifi, but when i'm out of the house i'm out of luck.

We've been getting lots of updates recently but they are not normally this often, so the rate your getting them should decrease.

only play the game through wifi it will only update when you click on the game to play it.

I'm on a 1GB per month data plan and already this billing period I've been hit with three 75gb updates that seemingly run in the background while I'm out of the house with no way to stop them.

Can I do something like make a prompt come up asking me when to DL it? If it keeps doing this I'm just going to remove it from my phone because I really don't feel like paying for excess data usage at the rate EA releases the updates.

I do not think you can stop the updates. As others have said they only run when you open and run the app. if they are running secretly in the background then that has to be some local setting, but I have never seen one.

I turn off the data traffic on my phone when i'am away from free wifi and out of the house. can turn it on and off at
any time why pay for usage if you don't have to. you can still make and receive phone calls.You can also turn off the automatic updates for your Simpson's through your phone settings. I find the weather widgets are always updating
waste of usage.
