    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'm guessing others know this but the "Side Decoration Quest" Continues...

    Valentine's Goodies Pt. 3: Place a Rose Arch (25 Hearts)
    Valentine's Goodies Pt. 4: Place a Valentine's Pond (30 Hearts)
    ~C

    Edit Note... Really trying to get the Quote to work properly but, even though it looks good in Preview, it keeps messing up. :(

    Catija, you are still a level one poster in these here forums...when at level two you can work the magic.

    Bump.


    FYI: You can (and should) remove quotes within quotes... Not much sense to keep the whole thread in every post.

    But it's fun to make the quotes last forever. :(

    Gutted! I bought Pimento Grove last night and wiped my funds out! Would have waited if I'd known the update would be available so soon! Right, time to get those characters onto the shortest realistic quests to boost funds!

    On another note, this is the first time I have seen my Springfield without snow! Going to take some getting used to and re-organising to look its best, those pesky trees obscure more than I expected! :D

    EDIT - ok, couldn't have afforded the escalator or tower anyway! Nevermind!

    I don't see this posted but because I had nothing else to do, I clicked on the buildings that take days to complete and noticed the pay outs on them.

    Escalator = $10K
    Stick Stack = $20K

    So yeah, they are pricey but if those are the pay outs? You will recoup your money eventually.....lol....still that's some impressive pay outs.

    Last night I was going to post a topic asking what everyone thought would be a good building or feature for a million dollar purchase. And today I got the answer. In addition I got the answer to the 2 million dollar question... I am able to buy the million dollar option right now, but the Stairway is more my style. I will save up for a bit.

    Thank you for adding me, Simpsons00001. I feel honoured with your 3500 pending requests! :mrgreen:
    Still can´t visit your town, I hope it gets settled soon so I can send some love to all my sweet neighbours!
    h, and I am not happy with my SF lately, too. Need another overhaul.

    It might be worth putting into the FAQ that this update does not bring us to level 26. We're still on level 25. and there are some bonuses we can put our XP towards.

    Also, None of the XP that I have "harvested since maxing out on 25 have been credited at all to the new onus level.

    The valentines mystery box is tempting. For the train mostly.
