How to get old/own TheoTown music

Hi, for those of you who want back the old music here's a short tutorial on how to do so.

1. Use a file manager to navigate to the folder TheoTown/music on your device and delete all of it's contents.

2. Download and extract the music you'd like to have.

More classical music (this is the music in the game right now):
lucas_music.zip
(18.15 MiB) Downloaded 1620 times

More happy, modern music:
bensound_music.zip
(34.34 MiB) Downloaded 1161 times
The contents belong into the TheoTown/music directory.

The archive contains an empty file called .nofilecreation. This file is important as it prevents the game from downloading the new music pieces again. You can alternatively deactivate static file download in the settings of TheoTown.

If you want to use your own music simply remove all the files in TheoTown/music and place your own music files there (on iOS only mp3 files are supported). Don't forget to disable static file download in the settings or create (an empty) file with the exact name .nofilecreation.

There are a few music pieces built right into the game which cannot be replaced. However, the more external music files you offer the more unlikely it is for the internal ones to be played.

My dream!!!
The new music is very ugly and I think I've already heard it in 3 different games and videos (CC I guess?)

1) I have some favorite new songs and still wanna save. The rests aren't deleted, but they are backed up to another folder. Can I just move some songs which aren't my favorites to another folder and then extract the old songs to music folder ?

2) Somedays, I want to move all of the new songs to another folder. So, there will be no new songs anymore, but to be my music library. Can I move it to another folder ?

Ensure that there's a file named .nofilecreation in your music directory. That way you prevent the game from searching for music online. The game simply uses all the songs that it can find so you can move the music files to control exactly what to use :)

Thanks for your answer... 😂 Well yeah, now I just have ±6 new songs only and another are deleted...

I think you should add feature to turn on and off songs in music settings. So, players can control the songs easily. 😂

I've tried to put my own music, but it didn't worked. Instead, it plays the old music. I've created the

Code: Select all

.nofilecreation
file.
