The group 10-heart event was introduced in version 1.3.27, while the 14-heart event was added in version 1.4. Version 1.5 brought the addition of beach portraits for Haley, and in version 1.6, winter portraits, more beach portraits, and additional regular portraits were included, along with a new Haley portrait.
