There is no more land available in my town.

Free donuts.

Yes, you read that right.

Free donuts.

I clicked on the Kwik-E-Mart and played their little scratch game and was given the option of taking 2 donuts or the money. Duh. I chose the donuts.

My son played it and got $350 so it's really random but there is the chance to get donuts out of it.

Thank you so much for the info.

I don't know where to put this and don't want to start a new thread for it...

Finally Mr. Plow makes sense! He's mowing the grass! So with the update we did not lose him (just got our snowmen melted).

Just had a friend visit my town for the first time!!! The "cards" appeared on my buildings, and when I tapped them, ALL 3 GAVE HEARTS!

We'll see how this goes..

Thank You for the updated V-Day info!
Looks like it might be a fun event...bit frustrating....but fun.


...now, my problem is that I'm in the middle of a glitch where it says my 90+ friends haven't updated yet.
I know for a fact that 20 of them did in fact update, but I still can't visit them.
Time to play the waiting game >.<

I'm confused. I was only able to access the original SF and clicked on 3 buildings with three cards. I got one heart.

So what buildings do you click on?

That's horrible ratios, 1 heart for 3 clicks.

Has anybody been able to figure out the magic combination yet? What to click to get 3 hearts?

Me thinks its random, one town I visited didn't even give me a heart.

.

Yeah, I think it's random too...mostly got 1 heart (from towns I could visit), but one town gave me 2!

Kind of frustrated so far, despite the friend glitch. Usually they provide a screen of general instructions about an event update, but not so this time!

Collecting Hearts from Friends:
You DO NOT get a heart from every card you tap in a friends' town. They are "random." This is how collecting Halloween treats from friends worked. You can get anywhere from 0-3 hearts from visiting your friends. You MAY GET hearts from every building/card that your friend taps in YOUR TOWN.

Here are the buildings that have "Be Mine" cards on them when you visit your friends (at least in "Other Springfield", there may be more)
Bart's Treehouse
Simpson's House
Flanders' House
Van Houten House
Kwik-E Mart
Krusty Burger
Nuclear Plant
Retirement Castle
Police Station
Town Hall
Moe's
School
Willie's Shack
Android Dungeon
Church
Cleetus' Farm
Luigi's
Prison
Frink's Lab
Duff Brewery
Volcano Lair

New Features:
1. "Scratch R" mini-game: Scratch-Off cards at the Kwik-E Mart (every 6 hours - every card wins money!)

I've also seen cards on the library. Great job, btw! Very fast, and appreciated. Question...some people are talking about giving Valentines to friends, but all I've seen is collecting cards from friends, not giving. Just wondering if I missed something! :D

Thanks very much for this! :)
