How do you find and save a city file? | TheoTown | Page 1

I have a few cities I would like to back up but I cannot find the files. There are a bunch of my city names but none of them match the ones I want to save. The few that do have extra numbers/words tacked on to the end of them. I did this in the Theotown app, do I need to find them in the main settings? If so, I was unable to find them too.

Sorry for the long post, I had previously lost a few cities before and don't want it to happen again. I was unable to find any videos or tutorials online that were helpful.

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.

Use in the game file manager I would suggest making it a city.backup file

It worked! How do I import it to make sure it works? I clicked import but nothing happened.

You would have to rename the file to be the .city file

Does this x mean something bad?

I would assume that is a file that the game doesn't recognize

#

OOoh

#

I see what happened

#

The file type should just be .city

#

Not city_file

Would it be ok to delete it?
