| rdfs:comment | - The Valentine's Day 2014 Event was the seventh to be released for The Simpsons: Tapped Out and the second Valentine's Day themed event. It was initially released to all players on February 5, 2014, and ended on February 26, 2014; one day after the scheduled date. It was available to all players level 5 and over. The event included all new content, along with returning content from the previous Valentine's Day Event, such as Phineas Q. Butterfat's and Howard's Flowers. It is the only major event to date not to introduce a new limited currency, although Hearts were required to be collected in order for the player to play the Wheel of Friendship. They acted the same as spin tokens did in the Christmas 2013 Event.

It was initially released to all players on February 5, 2014, and ended on February 26, 2014; one day after the scheduled date. It was available to all players level 5 and over. The event included all new content, along with returning content from the previous Valentine's Day Event, such as Phineas Q. Butterfat's and Howard's Flowers. It is the only major event to date not to introduce a new limited currency, although Hearts were required to be collected in order for the player to play the Wheel of Friendship. They acted the same as spin tokens did in the Christmas 2013 Event. This event introduced two new characters; Mindy Simmons and Brandine Spuckler. There were also two new buildings released, along with eight new decorations available to win on the Wheel of Friendship. The Valentine's Day 2014 Event was also the first event since the Whacking Day 2013 Event not to feature the prize system. On February 14, 2014 (Valentine's Day), the player was given a free I Choo-Choo-Choose You Train. While players could visit their neighbors to gain more Hearts, they would find that when they visit friends nearer the end of their friends list, they would earn less Hearts. When players visited a neighboring town, in the bottom-left-hand corner of the screen there was a message that told them how many Hearts they would earn. It started off at five Hearts per tap, but after 30 actions it decreased to four Hearts per action. This diminishing return continued until the counter eventually got locked in at rate of just one Heart for the next 180 actions. After the 180 actions, players could no longer earn Hearts by tapping neighboring towns. The counter would reset after 24 hours. This counter did not affect the Hearts the player collects in their own Springfield. There were some changes to the log in screen with the release of the event. Now on the initial log in screen there is a box in the bottom right-hand corner that displays the user's Origin picture, level and username. The add friend screen was also changed. players can now log into Facebook to see if any of their friends are playing and players can also see a list of all your friends on one screen. This screen also shows if they have received any friend requests or if they are awaiting a reply from a friend request. Clicking on a friends name in this screen allows one to see when they last played and you have the option to un-friend them. Neighbors' Springfields were reverted to alphabetical order instead of random.
