after what I wrote in my last comment his whole world just totally vanished!!!
It was also turning like crazy and we seemed to have lost it forever. We restarted the iPad and the game a few times but it did not work.
I am putting this here in case other desperate people come looking for info 🙂
I got the idea to make another world to see if the whole app was compromised or only his world. When the new world worked just fine I suddenly got this idea to try to make a copy of the old world and make it infinite (it was finite and what seemed to happen in the beginning was that the borders were coming increasingly in).
That worked! The copy of the old world, made infinite, has all his old buildings and animals, whew!
The original world is compromised and I suspect that nothing will change until tomorrow and I will delete it.
I am glad that we found a solution but if this was a bug, it was a pretty bad one.
thank you, Stuart,
we did that and the issue was unfortunately not solved.
His world is actually getting smaller and smaller and more buildings are disappearing.
Please help!! there is a very desperate 8 year old here and he was just sick these last two weeks so his world is falling apart..
desperate mama here, too
Thank you so much, @Auldrick, for your detailed answer.
How very interesting, now I understand more about it.
In our case it might've indeed been the first problem, although at that point we did do all the things that you listed: restarting, closing all apps, etc. To no avail but it might not help that it's an older iPad with not-so-much memory. I am glad I got the idea to copy the world and make it infinite - although how that worked seems counterintuitive for me at this point (as in" if there was not enough memory to play the game without glitches in his original world, how come there were no glitches in the new world and the copy of the first glitched world but then the original world just got more and more scrambled).
Also, before this he never did save his world.. I have never interfered with his game and he taught himself - so he was doing only the stuff that he thought necessary to keep playing.
I will totally teach him to back-up as we had another huge drama yesterday, as he accidentally killed his fav horse.. He is still crying real huge tears for that..
