Back to the game after four years

Post by Debbilu_7 »

Hi,
Not really new…just returning to SFP after about a 4 year break lol…a bit overwhelmed by new stuff while trying to remember how all the old stuff works….and dealing with the fact I can no longer see my GC friends. I’m not a FB user but I’m finding ways to work with it. I’m also trying to slim down my overpopulated town. :(

Welcome back, Debbilu <3

It looks like the Firemonkeys gave up supporting GC, so if you want neighbors, there‘s only FB :(

Let us know, whenever you need help with the game!

Thanks Erin…my GC friends still show up on my old ipad but it has trouble handling the game without crashing. I saved one of my old neighbour towns to my husband’s FB but it doesn’t show up on my ipad—although I can see it on my android phone lol! I did send a couple of requests through the forum and can complete all the tasks so far so I’m okay with that!

You‘re very welcome!

GC does not work for neighbors from iOS 13 upwards, but fortunately we can at least save to the cloud. I miss visiting the friends that only use GC.

There are often issues if iOS players want to have neighbors via FB, especially if the others are playing on Android. Usually it helps to set the visibility for SFP on FB to friends or public. It may also work if your husband just puts in your name, in case he doesn‘t want to set the visibility of SFP to public. There is a description how to find the related settings in that topic: https://simsfp.perturbee.net/viewtopic. ... 250#p78250

Hope, this helps :)
