News:

Community Market Ever been confused about how to best earn Simoleons? Wondering what to do with a few unassigned Sims? Our latest update introduces the Community Market—a vibrant new location inspired by local farmers' markets where you can garden, meet Sims, and trade with them to earn heaps of Simoleons in your spare time. You can find it on the town map, right next to the Park along the riverbank.

EA Account Login and Exclusive Rewards:
From this update, players can now back up their SimTown by logging into their EA Account from Account Manager in Settings—and receive prizes for doing so!
Upon successfully logging in, players will receive a whole bunch of build items to decorate their Sims’ homes with. Alongside these exclusive build items you can only get from logging into your EA Account, you will also receive 25 LP and 20 SP!
Note: This integration doesn’t let you connect with your EA friends and they won’t show up in the Party Boat.

I haven’t yet connected to an EA account…if EA friends don’t show up in the party boat, am I correct in thinking I’d still have to connect through Facebook? If so, other than the sign up goodies, is there any benefit in doing this? Any drawbacks to signing up?
I guess with the recent expansion of Another Sim Town, you could play without friends if you really wanted to get rid of FB.

To me there‘s no sense to connect my game with my EA account. I’m saving my game with Game Center and Facebook and always have a backup on my phone. That seems to be enough. Another Simtown can be visited by using Game Center and Google Play, so just for the social tasks you neither need the EA account nor Facebook. I may change my mind if we can have neighbors in future.

I've been unable to save my game all day...it crashes when I try. I've tried on iOS as well as Android...I tried turning off the enhanced graphics but it doesn't help. I've tried autosave but then I can't open the game at all...I've lost a lot of progress on the crafting event. The first sign of trouble was trying to get my Sim home from the neighbour's town...I eventually did.

I can’t upload to the cloud on my phone since Friday. Using the Party Boat doesn’t work either, because the game wants to upload to the cloud first. It’s possible to download, but the game crashes nearly every time. My tablet seemed to be okay, but since yesterday I can’t visit neighbors. The game didn’t leave the loading screen, so I had to reinstall the app. I have the enhanced lighting off and there are only Sims working on the Craft Event, all others are idle. I’m not even using the Market right now.

The autosave occurs at the start of every session. Guess, that’s the reason why your game wouldn’t open after you turned autosave on.
I read several posts about trouble to get Sims back from neighbors towns.

There’s a fix update 5.92.1 in the app stores. It didn’t help for my phone. I didn’t dare to try visiting neighbors on my tablet, yet.

I did get a small update but it didn’t make any difference

There’s another Update 5.92.2 in the App Store.

It did solve the issues in my game on both of my devices \o/
