So many people are quitting - people who have played for 5+ years. They won't be replaced with new players because the game is too expensive for newbies to play.
I lost another neighbor today. Quit playing. Such a bummer.

The tables and chairs weren't Valentiney AT ALL and they didn't go with the rest of the stuff. Goal items should all go together, IMO. The cookies look kinda Gingerbread people.
The theme was okay, but not super-Valentine's. Overall, not the best goal ever.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wallpaper, though. A+ on that!!
Yeah I only did the goal because I wanted to get the LOVE sculpture -- pretty disappointed now that it didn't show up at the end after all. I do appreciate all the advance peeks into the goals people provide, but maybe they shouldn't post based on pure guesses.
I don?t like it either. The newer ones look so out of place and not as cute as the older ones.
And it?s irritating when the people and decorations are not all uniform in size.
I wish they would fix this.
I wasn?t too impressed with the prizes for this goal. All I liked was the wallpaper. I hope the next goal is better.
Can anyone tell me how long this goal has left before it expires?

Personal thoughts on this goal set:
- I thought the prices, as usual, were pretty steep, but they at least seem to be getting a little better. At the very least, the content we got with this goal is marginally less pricey than the content from the Wonderful Winter goals back in January.
- I really didn't like the theme of this goal set :( Reality Dating doesn't really translate to Valentine's Day for me, and with the exception of the Dessert Date (which features some kind of appliance and attempted cooking), I don't see how the prizes could fit in... really, anywhere. They don't really go with any other Valentine's Day content we've received in the past, and the odd curtain height on the TV night display makes it especially difficult to place.
- That being said, I LOVED LOVED LOVED the Final Rose floor decoration :) Despite the name's obvious tie-in to a certain reality show, I thought the display itself was so cute and, unlike the other decor, actually versatile. I could see myself placing the couple in spring gardens, ballroom scenes, maybe even NYE/holiday parties. For me this little piece was the highlight of the goals :)
- Coming to the recipes: I like the recipes and can see myself using them in other themes, but the drinks seem pixelated and generally out of focus :confused: I wish that hadn't been the case.
- As for the rest of the goal content (tables/chairs/counters/wallpaper/flooring): I'm disappointed - not because it's recycled, but because none of it really goes together. The flooring and wallpaper may complement each other, but the table doesn't match the chairs, which don't match the counters, and none of them match the new content we received. At this point, I get it - recycled content is going to be a reality - but if we're going to get it, could we at least get sensibly-recycled content? The tables/chairs/counters that we received were each part of their own respective set back when they were originally released in Restaurant Story (sometimes with coordinating appliances as well). I'd rather have a whole set imported than bits and pieces that don't match.
MAIN GOAL: I enjoyed the main goal. I love getting new appliances and recipes. And wallpaper and tiles and decorations. The tables and chairs were nice but didn't have anything to do with Valentine's Day. They didn't even match each other. The cookies from the Lovin Oven looked like burnt Gingerbread Men that had spread out in the oven. Certainly not attractive for display in my bakery. Think about it, would you buy or eat that in real life?
SIDE GOAL: I like having the opportunity to earn extra prizes. I mastered the original stove a year ago and am close to mastering the drink machine. Revisiting old recipes is fun and I get a prize. But let's change it up a bit. We are asked to cook the same recipes for almost every side goal. I liked it at Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas when you put the previously removed recipes back on the basic appliances and made those the side goal.
That said, I do love Bakery Story and have no intention in quitting. Thank you STORM8 for keeping it going.
