Some Tapped Out players posted on the game forums that they had received two content updates (technically). The content of the eleventh content update had been downloaded with the content of the tenth.
A user posted on the forums on February 2, 2012 that the price of the "Escalator To Nowhere" had been changed to 500,000 with the update; a user posted on that same thread on February 4, 2013 that at least Milhouse's "Eat at Phineas Q. Butterfat's" task had been cut from 8 hours long to 30 minutes long, also with the update. None of these things actually happened on the update's official release.
The update was released officially on February 14, 2013. On that date, players on the Tapped Out forums reported that "The Science Fund" had appeared in the Store, costing $14.99 or £10.49. "The Science Fund" later became one of Gil's offers.

Gil's offers
"The Science Fund" offer
A week after the update was released, another update was released featuring another one of Gil's offers. The offer also came with a new way to get rid of surplus hearts, the Heart Grinder, where the player can "Use Hearts to win money!". For 20, the player can win money from their surplus hearts. Also, this is the first offer to appear on the Android version of the game; the Heart Grinder was not included in the Android offer update, due to the Valentine's update not being released for Android.
After Gil appears in your town and tapping on his "Professor Frink" bubble
|
|
Scientists! Get your scientists here!
|
|
You can't sell the creation of a scientist! Only graduate schools can do that.
|
|
Please little girl, I've been trapped alone for so long in a plane of existence that only I understand. I just want to come back and be trapped alone in my laboratory.
|
|
Then the offer pops up, with Gil saying "Who wouldn't want an awkward nerd in their town?", with Frink's Lab in a photograph next to him. Also in the offer pop-up is an image of Professor Frink, with a Homer Buddha and an image of a money pile.
The offer contains Frink's Lab, Professor Frink, 50,000 and a Homer Buddha - a 490 value. With the offer, these cost 250.
If the player declines the offer
|
|
It's that kind of disinterest in science that's keeping us from going to Mars!
|
|
The offer lasted from February 21, 2013 to February 24/25, 2013. Gil disappears from your town when the offer is up.
