A Golden Scratch-R before being 'scratched'.

The twelfth content update was released on February 28, 2013, and is an episode tie-in with "Gorgeous Grampa".

The App Store description of the update (version 4.1.3) describes the content added in the last update instead of what is in this update.

The update removed the ability to purchase the Valentine's Day update buildings and decorations. The update also added the ability to purchase a "Golden Scratch-R", which had appeared on the iTunes Tapped Out listing a while back in the list of purchases. A Golden Scratch-R costs 99¢/69p/0,89€ and the jackpot is 100.

If you buy a Scratch-R, it will tell you how many donuts you could have won with what you won in cash. For example, if you got three clubs (winning 750), a little notice would appear below what you had won telling you "You could have won 15 donuts with a Golden Scratch-R". Scratching off three mallets actually wins the player 12 in the Golden Scratch-R, not 15.

Gorgeous Grampa was the first outfit available on Android.

Gameplay

A notice appears reading: "This Sunday's episode of The Simpsons features Grampa as a bad-body wrestling star in the 50s." Then another notice appears, reading: "You'll find his wrestling outfit in your inventory!"

If the player has not built the Retirement Castle, which unlocks Grampa, they will be taken to their inventory. Tapping on "Use" displays a notice which tells the player they need to unlock Grampa before they can use the outfit.

If the player has built the Retirement Castle, they will immediately receive a notice saying they have completed the quest "Gorgeous Grampa", and the player receives 100 and 10

Then the player unlocks Gorgeous Grampa, and receives 25 for doing so.
