Happy Valentine's everyone!

Whilst an A+ would be nice, they do say all you need is love! It's a good job then that something is in the air in Two Point County, you won't be needing your rose-tinted glasses for this one! So try not to swoon as we check out everything Cupid's quiver has to offer: [previewyoutube=BklokIZXGMQ;full][/previewyoutube] We hope pink is your favourite colour as we're smitten by the hamper of heart-shaped decor, including the cutest of new costumes, an infatuation of red balloons, and SO many roses, there are so many... too many...

New Challenge Mode

Cupid is VERY busy this Valentine's, scouting out the best romantic locations across the County, looking to spread love and happiness to all (what a sweetheart), and if hes suitably impressed with your Campus hell even leave you a few of his Love Bombs for you to create your very own romances. Get your students all loved up to score points and win hearts in our latest challenge mode!
Cupid's bow-and-arrow approach really wasn't cut out for spreading love in the modern age. Instead, he's come up with some new-fangled contraptions, but, there's only a limited number to spread as much love as possible! Only through impressing Cupid by creating the most promising romantic locations can you earn some of his coveted supply. Cupid is travelling the County to find the best of the best! Only once you've enamoured Cupid with absolute pink pandemonium on your campus, alongside all-round student happiness, AND ensuring you don't fall out of love with your grades, will you be guaranteed to catch his eye! Now impressed, he'll reward your romantic potential. Love Bombs will fall from the sky, ready for action, to create the perfect romantic atmosphere. Once you're gifted one from Cupid himself, you'll choose where to let it off, releasing a mist of romantic ambience. Now lovestruck, students are drawn to cultivate romances (isn't that much easier than the old bow-and-arrow?).

New Items & Outfit

Celebrate all things lovely with the love-filled new items in-game. Whether you're partial to a vase full of roses, or bringing out every Goth student's worse enemy: PINK! If you can think of it, there's a heart-shaped version of it ready to bring joy (or vertigo) to all your lovely students. Show your romantic flare by rolling out the new heart-shaped rug, bunting, and pink balloons, or bring a loving touch to some existing items, like using the new wallpapers or duvet set. And if that's not enough, then why not go all out with a Tunnel of Love? Nothing says romance quite like a giant mechanical swan.
The whole county is under Cupid's love spell, so expect heartwarming in-game changes, with heart-print duvets, wallpaper, and pink ambience absolutely everywhere! As the busy Cupid can't be everywhere at once, your staff and students alike can experience a touch of the divine by stepping into Cupid's (striking) oh-so-romantic character outfit.
