I recently bought the PC version because I felt really pleased with the Android game. I was wondering if I could transfer my city from Android to my PC.

The best way would be to pull your phone into your PC

#

and then use your PC file manager to access the phones file location

#

Ptag files

TheoTown files are located under such directories:

  • Windows: C:\Users(insert username)\TheoTown or %USERPROFILE%\TheoTown
  • Linux: ~/TheoTown
  • MacOS: /user/TheoTown
  • Android: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/info.flowersoft.theotown.theotown/files
    By default you should be in /storage/emulated/0/. Uninstalling the game on Android will delete all files, unless you decide to keep the files when prompted by uninstaller. (android 11 onwards restricts access to external storage for apps, so if the files cannot be accessed this way, opt for the in-build manager explained below)
  • ios: Search "TheoTown" in the file manager app

If you cannot access game files through these directories, game has an in-built file manager for mobile devices which is accessible from the region view menu.

You can find your plugin, music, region and city files there as well as logs for debugging purposes.

And then move them to your PC files location

Interesting, so the save structure is the same and cross compatible then?

Happy to help!

I have another doubt, is there a way I can change the Android's save folder location?

#

So instead of saving on Android/data, saving it on a public place like /Documents/

#

That is not possible

#

I think that is an issue with android safety features more than anything
