Level 37 is here and with it (finally) comes Luann Van Houten, finally Milhouse isn’t an orphan anymore! I’m sure you’re asking “Should I Spend Donuts On This?” Well before you hit that confirm button, let’s break down the Pros and Cons of adding Luann and her crackers to your Springfield.
Character & Building: Luann Van Houten
Donut Price: 150 donuts
Pros:
-Comes with not 1, not 2 but THREE quests (involving Luann, Edna, Agnes, people of Springfield & Kirk)
-Several outdoor tasks with great animations
-Comes with her own building, Southern Cracker Factory
-Will ride around your Springfield in a MegaGlobe
-Only way to unlock Fleet-A-Pita Trucks for both Springfield and Krustyland
-Cracker Factory increases Indolence rating by 10 points
-Factory is also used, Luann has a permanent task for it.
-Another Female character in TSTO
Cons:
-Pricey. At 150 donuts she’s not the most expensive character and building combo (heck Disco Stu was 180 donuts), but it’s still a high price.
-Not voiced.
-No character interaction after main questline is complete
Final Thought:
Personally, if you have the donuts to spend, I say go for it. EA is giving you a ton of options with this purchase, including the Fleet-A-Pita. While I do think 150 donuts is a steep price, I do think it’s one of the best premium values in the game. So, if you can save up your donuts (or wait for a Gil Sale) because I think Luann and the Southern Cracker Factory are a MUST BUY.

Just wondering, has this ever been on sale?
Nope.
Hi – I am trying to find the Cracker Factory on my build menu but I cannot find it. Looked on “Buildings”, “houses”, but I cannot find it. Help!
By the way I am at level 53
It’s in the premium menu…you’ve got to look in there.
Great. Thanks
I just spent the donuts to purchase this! So excited for all of the extra questlines that have been added for having her and the fleet-a-pita!
Whooooot! I wish I had gotten it earlier. Wondering if I should get bumblebee man to complete all of the investors quests.
I purchased luann & thought I ran through all the tasks & fleet a pita is still locked…..level 49. Any ideas?

Does the fleet-a-pita give you a permanent 16hr task for all springfielders?
Unfortunately no.
Please help!! Agnes is locked!! I have purchased a Fleet a Pita. My problem is I cannot purchase the Skinner House to receive Agnes. It won’t allow me to begin the Milhouse Eureka task. Please help! I
What level are you on?
I’m on level 33.
Whoops retract previous comment about Level. didn’t scroll down further! Sorry about that!
What was the last building you build in Springfield or the last character you unlocked?
See where you are on your game play level and see what walkthroughs you need to complete to get Agnes. No worries. It shouldn’t be too far off. The quest will wait. You don’t have to finish it right this second. 😉

I’m not sure when I purchased the Cracker Factory, but it has been more than 1 month. I’ve looked at the walk/through a few times and I believe I’ve done what was needed. I will look thru it again.
If you haven’t unlocked Anges yet that’s the required element. So you must not be on level 40. What level are you currently on?
As my city planning is underway, I was wondering if you can tell me the dimensions of the cracker factory please, face length and depth please and thank you.
10 x 10. 🙂

Once unlocked, how much do the Fleet-a-Pitas cost?
$5,600 each Fleet-a-Pita.
Is it just me or is Luann’s “dress up the flag” task kinda risque?
well..it IS the Simpsons. They are ALWAYS a lil risque. Lol
Luann is definitely worthwhile spend a new building character and added decorations, good even for meanium players
I agree. One of the better donut investments in the game 🙂
