SharkTums Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 ^I also did something similar. KT made me put a see-saw in mine though! I'm also thinking about moving a reindeer in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 This was just posted to the very good FAQ about the game: Â Card/Heart Collection & Regeneration Mechanics:Basically, the more active characters you have in your city, the more possible Valentines there are for your friends to collect. (Probably only characters that come with buildings; I don't think Kearney, Hans Moleman, etc have Valentine's associated with them. After each character is sent on a task, there is ONE card that can be clicked by a neighbor while that character's task is active. The cards are located on the building the character came with, or the building that the characters current task is associated with. Cleetus digging through garbage will result in a card on Cleetus' farm; if there are 5 people at the Kwik-E Mart at one time, then there will be a possibility of 5 cards that friends can tap in the Kwik-E Mart. The card doesn't regenerate until the user collects the Valentine. Sometimes you will be able to quickly tap buildings that have already been tapped; I believe this results in receiving multiple hearts from one character when you collect.

OldJJman Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Anyone else hoping we can exchange the hearts for possible donuts at the end of this update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 ^That would be the smart thing for them to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastuso Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I wonder if there is a bug then, becuase every card I get usually lets me click it multiple times, sometimes 5 times. I've gotten TONS of hearts from cards in my town, way more than I get from visiting others. Â -R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 ^Like I said, if you do multiple missions at the same location (like the school has several missions associated with it) you can get more than one heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastuso Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I was getting cards on places where no missions were going on. I think I got 3 or 4 out of Bart's treehouse. Â -R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 ^Yeah, that's weird. Â I just visited about five towns in a row where I could see cards and then they would disappear a second later. Talk about a tease! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That would be nice, but I bet it will be like Christmas. Â There is no level 26 yet. After you Max out you get a present like the mystery boxes. I clicked too quick and missed reading it. I can't even remember what I got. I'm just about to get the Popsicle building! Only about a $1000 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 So there was just another large update. It seemed to open up all other towns even if people didn't upgrade. Some of these towns even have valentines cards?!?! So now I'm more confused than ever on how to maximize getting hearts!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I was able to get into my town during lunchtime at work today; collect cards, visit towns, build florist and start mini golf, but as soon as I got home and got the newest update again now I'm back to not even being able to get into my own town for more than 30 seconds, and everything I do just resets...except all the cards I collected are gone and the hearts not in my bank. Maybe I have the magical EA Groundhog Day version. If I didn't already hate Valentine's Day, EA would have just made me. Â Edit: turns out I have the Level 26 bug, as yesterday I was bumped up to Level 26, got the task to build Wiggum's house and unlock Ralph, and then bought a swing set for the school, which EA mistakenly released for a few hours to those who were online and with enough XP to get it. After they realized their error they turned it off, but the server doesn't like those of us with this glitch. Leave it to EA and Ralph to mess up the game!

jray21 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 That sucks. Did you lose Ralph and the swingset? I finally got the Popsicle Stick Skyscraper, but it takes 3 days to build! It's also really really tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Just noticed that now you only get $16 for each building you visit ($18 for cards) instead of getting more for each town you visit. I'm hoping they'll revert it after Valentines day is done as I still have a lot of stuff left to build it's making saving up money take a lot longer.

DerekRx Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I managed to sell the swing set in the short amount of time I had after deleting and reinstalling and then it downloaded some update and let me in again. I still have the task to build the Wiggum home, but the home is no longer available, nor are the swing set, police car, tether ball, or Chemistri restaurant.

Jojo19799 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Today I was collecting money and hearts from my town, and I noticed that if I tap on any character that has a card, I get a heart and a little text pops up and says "from ernierocker" or "Robb Alvey". Anyone else notice this? Is this because I visited their towns? Â So there was just another large update. It seemed to open up all other towns even if people didn't upgrade.

I know with the Halloween and Christmas updates you didn't get coins and candy all the time. I didn't get a lot of hearts, but using donuts to purchase Mystery Love Boxes has helped. So far I got the train and cozy hammock. I'm seriously thinking of purchasing more donuts just so I can get a few of the premium items like the burning tires and Duff Brewery.

Â As far as why some towns don't have valentines available, I think once a card has been 'left' for each available character no more can be left until the town owner returns to their game and 'collects' the cards that have been left.

"Scratch R" mini-game: Scratch-Off cards at the Kwik-E Mart (every 6 hours - every card wins at least $100 profit!) 2. The "Friends' Bonus Glitch" is GONE 3. If you have reached the MAX level, you now keep earning XP and earn donuts for "Bonus Levels." Â I'm just about to get the Popsicle building! Only about a $1000 more.

Hhappy Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) elevator is hilarious.. still wondering about getting cards when visiting other towns... can barely find any available.. set all my inhabitants on missions of one hour at a time.. let's see if that does anything..

DerekRx Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 In order to get Valentines from other towns, the neighbor's characters must be currently involved in an activity, not just standing around. Each character is allowed 1 Valentine per visit until that town's owner collects the Valentine, freeing up the character to receive another one. So it doesn't really matter if you send your character on a 30 minute activity or a 24 hour activity, it all depends on how often you and your neighbors visit their own town to collect the Valentines others have left for them, freeing up the characters for other neighbors to card while the characters are doing a task. Basically, everyone should have their characters all doing stuff and visiting their towns often to collect the Valentines left for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 In order to get Valentines from other towns, the neighbor's characters must be currently involved in an activity, not just standing around. This is what I thought too, but in all three of our games, we've gotten valentines from towns where nothing has happened, and the player hasn't even played the game in a few days.

ernierocker Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Just placed the train, so it looks like I will be building up a crapload of hearts unless they add some more stuff we can use them for. Hopeful they will do something similar to the mystery stockings at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
