Question for The Sims FreePlay

How do you get your old game back when it starts over and is trying to make you make the first sim again when you already made a bunch of sims and houses and work and then it all just dissapeared ? Because I was playing it and then my phone died and then I turned it back on and now it's making me start over. How do I get my old game back?

I don't think you can get the old game back. I do know when you have Facebook, you can save your game there. To do so, pause the game, click the cloud, and follow the steps. (Login, upload, save etc). Please note, you data will only be saved for 7 days, so upload the game every week to be sure you won't lose it again.
For now good luck rebuilding. It has benefits... I learned to save LP's when I had to start over after update!

Always look on the bright side ;-)

I was on level 34, saved the game to iCloud, and then deleted the app. I installed the sims infinity coins and then tried to upload it but it didn’t work so I had to restart the whole game.

I was on level 35 and decided to restart my world for fun but first I uoleaoded to the cloud to put it on my phone instead of iPad. After setting up the infinite coins hack I started playing on my iPad without realising I hadn’t download my saved data onto my other device so now I have to start over again! I don’t mind starting over I’m just sad that I don’t have all my hair and outfits or my house supplies like nice wallpaper or flooring and I have to redo all the quests

I had the same problem. I went onto settings and went onto the cloud. When you get into the cloud it will give you the option to download the data you had from a week ago and all of your progress comes back

Guest answered:

I accidentally erased my city when I was cleaning up my home page. I freaked out, emailed them and looked on here. Thought I was lost forever because I never saved it anywhere!! I ended up starting to build the first couple things starting over until Daniel, the city friend said to come visit him. After that I hit the tools/setting button and hit the log in with Facebook button even though I never used it there or saved it. I hit the button and a couple of city's ca,emup from before and I found my city I lost. It will ask you if you want to permanently erase the other cities or the one you just started so say yes and your old city will come up with all the progress saved.

Guest answered:

Something similar happened to me! Long story short I started Sims like 3 years ago on my phone and then got kinda bored of it and I wanted to start again but still keep my progress that I reached on my phone so I downloaded the app on my iPod and I didn't connect to gamecenter or Facebook so that I can have two separate cities on my phone and iPod but then one day I accidentally clicked to connect to Facebook on my iPod so my progress on my phone erased and now I only have the stuff saved from my iPod so my 3 year game progress is gone

Guest answered:

I had the game on my iPod touch in 2011, an I got really far in it. I was at like level 36, I had over 20 Sims, I had a million simoleones and then I deleted the game because it made me mad. A month later I got a new phone so I got the game on there and I started a new game. Is there any way I can get my first game back?!?

I can not get my old game back when I already started a new one

Guest answered:

I was saving my game and it deleted itself and opened a old one that I saved a year ago. I spent hundreds on the game and all of it down the drain. Please help I need it back

Guest answered:

I was at level 36 and had reached soo far and the app acc deleted how do it get it back if it wasn't saved to the cloud

Guest answered:

I accidentally overwrote data on my level 12 account, and now it only has what I overwrote when saving it to cloud:( I'm really upset, but I contacted technical support, so hopefully I will get an answer! I'll update when I do

Guest answered:

If I download my game to cloud and put it on a different device can I start a brand new game on my old device without erasing my data on my new one

Guest answered:

I stated all over with a new game, but miss some of my old Sims. Wish there was a way to reconnect with them since they've already been created. Is it possible? I miss my favorite daughter Tanji.

Guest said: 16th May 2020 | REPORT
Ugh all the sleepless nights I wasted to complete tasks, created so many things, getting a free beach house, getting icy set prizes and all other stuffs, plus real money I put in, all for NOTHING! All my sims were 4+ level on their jobs.
