And it's everything for free, except for couple of buildings. I could understand your anger if the game woud be paid, but it still free, those addons just give some nice things, but nothing necessary! And buying them is a nice way to help the creators.

Although I know about the option to turn off ads, I've never used it because I want to support creators. btw I can't understand your excuse about them,, those ads are so small. You probably have never played a "free" game where you must watch one minute long ad to continue playing....
Lol, people still think I was serious then...
Under pressure!

Do you have a link or source for that which we can analyze?

You can easily hack it with lucky patcher.. you need to make a server from where you can download features..

Wow there's a lot of mod apks of theotown on the internet
If you search it most of them say "Unlimited Money"
Anyways I was thinking is there a way to stop people making mod apks?

No, that's really unlikely. For APKs it's even easier than for native programs as Java can be decompiled to understandable code. Therefore, it's easy to change things in the game. We can at least make it more difficult, but an experienced hacker might always be able to hack it.

Nevertheless, it's illegal to distribute a hacked version of TheoTown. Also I want to point out that by downloading such stuff you not only harm us, the developers, but also take a high risk of a virus infection of your device.

Thanks and that's why I don't trust mod all files because the last tablet I hade broke because of a virus and some of mod apks will say "download this app to proceed"
And after you unlock it and download it it turns out to be fake
And it takes the fun out of the game if you have unlimited money

I would also prefer a premium version! Maybe you can make this addons a "boundle"?! I would totally buy that.

Now this is my first time saying anything on this forum (I have been playing the game for a while though) but I think that I would definitely buy the additional stuff. This game is really fun. There seems to be a lot of different things to buy and it'd be interesting

I do have a question though. Would these be the only in-app purchases we'll have to make? Like say if we buy these packages now would we have to pay more if you release more premium buildings later??

Probably not. Because why do you have to pay more if we already had the package?

If you bought a buildings package:
You'll get all buildings added in the future to this package

If you bought the premium package:
You'll get all the addons we add in the future


You'll find more details in the description of each package when we release them.
