I've been trying to back up my cities on my old phone so that I can open them on my new phone. I have a Theotown account and progress was saved automatically through my Google play games account, but I can't seem to figure out how to transfer the files containing my maps and plug-ins to the cloud then back them up on my new phone. Both my old and new phones are androids.

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.
