Great work! Thanks for getting this up so quickly.

Not sure if it started with this update but the conform-o-meter now shows the total percentage bonus for conformity plus decorations.

No more counting gulp n blow payouts!

[Jopa]

Is it just me or is the Rex Banner quest exactly the same as last year?

Pretty much, hence the 'Redux.'

Last year the quest line required All-American Apu, since he was a free item that wasn't an issue. This year the code was updated to allow the use of regular or All-American Apu and drops four or five other tasks, mostly build-specific ones.

Been around since the start of the Stonecutter event.

if you got the dinner and stuff last year do you get it again or you just get the flag and fire works.

You'll only be offered the Flag, Pinwheel and Box of Fireworks.

Everything else (Nighthawk Diner, Lincoln Cabin, Lisa statue, Apu skin and Liberty Bell) are one-time purchases, or in the case of the Apu skin and Liberty Bell in 2013, one-time giveaways.

Is Lincoln worth it...his cabin would go good in my woodsy area I am planning but he's only got so many tasks...

I like Lincoln... his "attempt to blend in" task alone makes him worth it in my opinion.

If you were to go Lincoln or Washington, who would you choose? I have enough for one, but not both. I was leaning Lincoln because everyone loved his tasks, but I'm open to suggestions.

[cmnplanet]

^ I do like Washington's 24hr task: walking around waving a saber.

Some things to consider:
• Washington's tree is a multiplier if you're still concerned about grinding for cash (cherry tree is also a smaller footprint, if space is an issue)
• This is the third time Lincoln's been issued
• If there's still a game or you're still playing in 2015, both would likely come around again for Presidents Day

Washington's quest just kinda ends, doesn't it? "Chop' down the tree and that's it.

What a jerk George Washington was. Three of his smaller siblings starved because they had no cherries.
