    15 February 2013 update
    Well, who was right once again? A couple of the files item are still not present. But they'll come.
    But you're not here to hear me brag, right? :)

    Today's update was clear :

    1)Next update will remove Valentine's day.

    2)Gil is coming back soon. They made a folder named : promotionsgame, and inside theres two folders about GIL's reappearance. But I couldnt dig deeper into what could be the promotions. Still... it says in the file : BIG promo.

    3)Its officialy the first time, I see 'specifics' about WHACKING DAY : I saw New tasks for Homer/Ned :
    -homer_play_happy_little_elves_active.bcell
    -homer_search_for_snakes_front_walk.bcell
    -ned_abolish_snakes_active.bcell

    4)Krusty Kamp coming at the same time, cauze those items are still there:
    - camping tent
    - krusty themed totem pole
    - ice cream cart

    5)New Building : 50ftmagnifyglass

    6)As of now. Nothing else. Nothing about Hal Roach Apartments, since the Hospital update. Strange.

    If you're going to buy Frink's lab anyway, and get a free Buddha, why not? Of course, I already have the lab. And I bought the sign exactly one day before the news leaked about the sign+lair deal. Oh well, at least EA is trying. Well, mostly trying to get money, but still trying.

    Do we know when the update is to remove the Valentines Day items? I'd like to use all of my hearts before hand (assuming they don't release a deal like the stockings).

    They said Feb 28 at the start, assume it is the same.

    Well, it does say right in the game, on the Valentine's Day Guide "Valentine's event ends on Feb 28th"

    Make sure you dump them BEFORE Feb. 28 if nothing happens first. A lot of people thought they had the last day of the XMas event to buy stockings, and missed out when it ended mid-day.

    I wouldn't put any stock in this. Some info (like Hal Roach Apts, Kamp Krusty) is lifted from the RAW files source, the rest is fictional.

    Yeah, I figured a lot of it is fictionalized being from Wikipedia.

    also, the 'hide easter eggs in buildings' sounds a little stupid.

    Why does that sound stupid? I would personally love to see them add new functionality to the game and change up the whole "collecting stuff" that has remained pretty much the same through Halloween, Christmas, and now Valentine's Day.

    It's the "hide easter eggs in buildings" that sounds silly. Ok, collect eggs, but hide them I'm not so sure. The whole entry sounds like a child wrote it - Lake Springfield, really? Call me skeptical...

    6)As of now. Nothing else.
    Nothing new, they just modified what they added on january 30th. I checked the files again and I forgot to mention I saw 'swingset' and something in the files called : Moutains-Townbases. / Are they adding more land to build on, or it is simply nothing of importance? We'll see.
    ===========
    30 January 2013 update
    -Firstly Gill will be back. They did some modifications in his 'promo folders'. No information leaked on what the promos could be.

    -RALPH will be there with : 9wiggumhouse_menu.rgb rgb wiggumhouse_menu.rgb ?
    - elchemistri building (restaurant)
    - 50ftmagnifyglass
    - policecar
    - rabbithedge
    - tetherball
    - camping tent
    - krusty themed totem pole
    - ice cream cart
    (See 12th PAGE for more INFO).
    ===========

    15 January 2013 update
    Only changes I see for today is that they played in the promotions folder.
    But nothing apparent or different from what I remember.

    In the past, when they made those kind of updates, it was for 3 things :
    1- New content soon (with a date/timezone activator) - Some people with time-glitch, could have them before.
    2- Fixes bugs/crashes (doesnt look like it this time).
    3- Set date/time for new promotions.

    ===========
    11 January 2013 update
    Well it's good to be right once again. I was right with Gill, Christmas Stockings, Burns Manor, Volcain/Springfield sign promo, snow would still be there, etc.

    After the update today I checked what they've done, once again.

    -Hal Ranch Apartments is still in the files (they haven't remove it)
    -Krusty Kamp's Items are still in the files (+ Olmec head)
    -All those items are made in both models (one with snow one without snow)

    Today the simply made a folder named : Smithers.

    In Smithers folder they activated him, gave us his voice/sounds, and added Mr. Plower, snowmen, Pimentogrove, etc. But NOTHING NEW.

    So what I know for sure is that we will still have SNOW in the next update. (Except if as of now, all the items they'll create comes in 2 models (w.snow/wo snow) for next christmas).

    Badly, they haven't changed anything else except add Smithers Folder to activate him. And activated the Volcano/Springfield sign promo that was there since 3rd of december.
    =============================================
    2 January 2013 update
    Little update today, so I checked the files again.

    Nothing new came up. The only thing is that they made the stockings available. Like I said in my last post, they were effectively in the game. So I was 100% correct on that.

    To answer a question I received a couple of times in my inbox and on this thread, no I -me- dont think the Volcano+Springfield Sign deal will still happen. They probably changed their minds because there folder's name has 'November' in it. BUT, as an advice, i'd tell you to wait till january 11th (after the next update) before buying them. Maybe they just decided to wait before releasing the promo. As of now, they are giving us 'free' donuts with the Christmas Stockings, they'll probably have a lot of 'Premium items' to sale afterwards. And maybe the Volcano+Springfield sign deal, will come up, then.
    ===========
    NEXT PROMO
    Once the 25% more donuts is over, we will have a special promotion (if they keep it) it should be a combo price for Volcano Lair and Springfield Sign.
    =============================================
    27 december 2012 update
    I checked again this morning.

    And I have more information for you.

    Hal Roach Apartments and Mr. Burns Manor are both integrated in the Christmas update (that mean, we already have the files downloaded, they just need to activate them). So I can 100% confirm you, that we will have both these items soon. And in the scripts, i've seen that both will be coming with Snow templates but with NO lights decorations. I guess we will probably receive them after they remove the 'collecting coins' stuff.

    As for the new 'items' : Camp fire, camping tent, ficus plant, ice cream cart, MyPod poster board, Olmec head and the Krusty themed totem pole. They are all coming with 'snow' version too.

    So after looking again I am sure of one thing. Once the Christmas collecting coins stuff is over, we will still have snow in our Springfield and they will not remove it in the near future.

    I can also confirm you, that I saw scripts for a Whacking Day event.
    ==============================================
    ==============================================

    I'd like to ask the others who checked the files previously, how did you guys found stuff about Smithers and Wiggum's house, where did you guys looked? I couldn't see any of those names anywhere in the files/scripts.

    how come I cant find Ifunbox on the appstore, is that the apps actual name?

    5)New Building : 50ftmagnifyglass


    Sounds like something similar to escalator and skyscraper. Will probably cost about 3 million dollars. Better start saving now!!
