UPDATE: TinyCo made a change in the game that will allow players to go ahead and get the final two Affection Meter prizes in the game WITHOUT getting to Phase 3. So if you are collecting hearts and were not quite there yet… you will be now. Thanks TinyCo for listening. 😉
Hey there Clammers!
Bouncing by to help you all out with questions/concerns we are seeing over and over in the comments section. So put them all in a tidy lil place to help you out.
Trying to figure out why your Hearts keep resetting? Why you can’t see the new stuff? Why oh why oh why? Take a look below to see if these answers are for you.
WHY CAN’T LOIS DATE? 
There was a major issue TinyCo found before launching the update with Lois in District 7 & the Wizard Nerds that caused a glitch that would have not been good for players. Due to this, ANY player in District 7 will not be able to use Lois to date as she will be disabled until you are out of District 7.
This also means you will not be able to complete some of the Dates that she is needed for to get the Date Prizes. There is currently not an alternate option to get these elsewhere.
GAME IS GLITCHY & CRASHING!
In any game I have played, I run into this same issue. TOO much going on in the game and it starts to have image & graphic glitches, lagging, and even game crashing.
The main cause is just as I said… TOO much going on in the game outside. We have PDA Couples, Sprayers, Animated Buildings and items in the Event Area… add to this things we already had going on in our game. Outdoor animated tasks, Animated Buildings, Animated Decorations, Chumba Wumbas, Walking Decorations… the list goes on n on n on. Add to that if you are on a poor or weak signal for the game, if you have OTHER apps running in the background of your device (like Facebook or other games), memory getting a lil tight.
All of this will be a contributing factor to just how smoothly your game runs. I have tried a few different things myself to combat this and have offered the same info to you too. For those still seeking help for Crashing & Lagging, LOOK HERE.
HOW DO I GET PHASE 3 CONTENT?
In order to get to Phase 3, see the Rupert Mystery Box, and start the new 4th and 5th Affection Meter Prizes you need to have completed ALL of Phase 2 (My Funny Valentine Part 13) & start the Phase 3 questline (Can’t Buy Me Love).
If you have NOT completed My Funny Valentine part 13… you will NOT see any Phase 3 content. All info is in the Phase 3 Main Post.
MY HEARTS KEEP RESETTING!
See the info just above on Phase 3 Content. You won’t move on til you are in Phase 3. Until then, it will keep resetting to the amount one LESS than the prize your are going for to prevent a glitch. (Those on 1.6.8 Update will not experience the reset, just a constant collection.)
TinyCo released a patch to make it possible for ALL players to get the Phase 3 content while in Phase 2. So you can go ahead and start getting those prizes now before completing My Funny Valentine.
I CAN’T SEE THE RUPERT BOX!
See the info just above on Phase 3 Content. You won’t move on til you are in Phase 3. If you are just looking to locate it in your game AFTER you unlocked Phase 3, check the Shopping Cart Menu as well as use the Heart Meter Icon in the lower Right corner to go to the Event Menu and launch it from there.
Keep in mind if you cleared all items, it will show an error message when empty.
HOW DO I GET CUPID?
First, see info above on Phase 3 Content. You won’t move on til you are in Phase 3. In addition, you will also need to progress in the NEW questlines to get to the point of unlocking his bench. AFTER Can’t Buy Me Love Part 6 this will appear. All the basics are in the Main rundown post.
WILL I HAVE THE FULL 5 DAYS FOR CUPID?
As of right now, we are being told he WILL go when the event ends. Regardless the amount of time left on his timer. If this changes, we will let you know. It is not that hard to unlock him though, so don’t worry too much. Just a few tasks, the statue, and Valentine’s Cards.
HOT MEG IS NOT IN THE RUPERT BOX, WHY?
In order to see a Prize placed into the Mystery Box, you first must LOSE that item. That means in order to see Hot Meg placed in the Mystery Box… you will need to first WIN the Voodoo Shop and LOSE her. Once that happens, THEN she will appear in the Mystery Box for a chance to get her with Home Made Valentine’s.
CAN I GET TWO ASYLUMS?
Yes and No.
Yes, if you go for the HATE prize you can win another Asylum for your town.
No, if you already have one and go for the LOVE prize an extra will NOT be placed in the Mystery Box to buy.
WHEN DOES THE EVENT END?
If you look right into your game, you will see the countdown timer. Quick way to get there is tap on the Heart Meter icon in the lower right hand of the game and go to the Home tab. It will be right there.
There you go. Some of the main questions we are seeing from the game. Remember if you are having issues, try some Basics. If still not helping, please reach out to TinyCo for futher help.
What do you think of the last of the event? Have you got Hot Meg? Have you got Cupid? Did this help you out? Let us know.

Have there been any suggestions that we might be able to convert hearts / broken hearts into valentines? I need to know whether to waste time continuing the dates and the enamoured couples clearing now that I have Hot Meg… or whether those hearts will be wasted. The only way, for example, to make use of the Pewterschmidts and Brian (w Jillian) over the last couple days.
A conversion of 1 heart to 10 valentines I think would be fair – and help contribute to the total needed for all the items in the Rupert Box…

Why wasn’t it made clear at the begining that the cupid statue was esential to gain cupid. I have used nearly all my cards up and all I am getting from rupert are the items I didn’t want in the first place. Why not make it so that you can at least pick the item you need to be able to get cupid. It seems so unfair when people have played the game right through then end up unable to get the final character.

Regarding game crashes, this is a problem that I have been dealing with ever since the comic con event. Depending on how complex events get, my game crashes between 1 and three times every time I play a round. It has been particularly frustrating with this event because whenever the game crashes during the 3 minute window of finding PDA couples, I lose my PDA hearts collected, and the PDA couples do not return once the game restarts. Then I have to wait another 3 hrs and keep my fingers crossed. I think Tiny Co, while aware of the issue, might direct more resources towards correcting it if they knew the full extent of how widespread the issues were. My guess is that most people who experience the issue, never both to report it. Might you ladies be interested in running a survey to help Tiny Co see how common the issue is? I know I’d be interested. Thanks as always for all your support and hard work.
LikeLike
They are aware. We send them feedback all the time. Thing is… it is not just their game. I have the same issue on a LOT of app games. Too much…and it freaks out. I think it is more something of pushing the boundaries of some cool thoughts and designs that not all devices can handle so well. They are constantly working on it. Trust me. All gaming houses we deal with are. There is a lot more to it.

The only visual glitches i get are occasionally Perfume sprayers will disappear and reappear, Glenda goes into active camoflage mode when shooing the perfume ladies away, and my coffee shop has these crazy crayon scribble looking things that spaz on top of it when someone is in there. Same happens with the decor of it. When you rotate it the graphic glitch appears where it would be if u turned it 90 degress from when it is right on top of it.

Yep totally agreeing I am so far behind due to a *** power outage we had left me 3 days behind. Only got to phrase 3 now and it’s nearly 11pm over here so I lose another 9 hours leaving me just over 2 days to get to the stage where I can repair Cupids bench and get 100 more hearts for Cupid statue. I think this is one of the first events I’ve missed a mason character other than Jesus in the Christmas event. Thankfully tho Tinyco have made this an excellent event it was just unfortunate that I could not enjoy getting all the rewards of this event thanks to the universal bad weather. Thanks anyway Tinyco and especially Bunny and Alisha your information has allowed me to get closer and earn more prizes catching me up as much as I could. Let’s just hope Tinyco have an Best of 2015 event or extends the valentines event for those affected by weather. Lol I can dream 🙂 thanks again for ur help and great event Tinyco.

I doubt that I’ll be able to get Cupid as my storyline is stuck right now.

Might just be me, but this whole event felt really rushed. I’m still working on Can’t Buy Me Love Pt. 3 and I play frequently throughout every day. Granted, I opted to stay freemium for this event, so I don’t have any extra characters helping me out, but I still feel like there’s been just barely enough time to accomplish everything–if not a bit too little time, without throwing money at it. Might be a good business model, but it sure is frustrating for many players and fans.

If a game for a freemium lasts from the moment it starts to the moment it ends and you can still earn a LOT of Freemium stuff… it is a success. That means they worked it out just right to fill that time and not have the players bored out of their mind just waiting for it to end. Look at those that did have more, that did rush… they are now asking “what now?” Which would you prefer? I am just curious.
