Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Pack your bags and prepare for an invasive screening at the airport because it’s travel time in Springfield! And while our towns are embracing their ever expanding airports, our donut bank is shrinking because there are LOADS of worldly items in our stores just tempting us with those sprinkles!
Of course with that limited-time label it can be tempting to buy everything that looks awesome because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add the Carnival Float and Xoxchitla? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this Brazilian Boobie dancer to your Springfield…
Character: Xoxchitla
Decoration: Carnival Float
Donut Price: 120 Donuts
Earns: 3.5% bonus on all cash and XP
Size: 6×5
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +200
Leaves Stores March 7th
Pros
-Full character for Springfield
-Comes with a questline
-A couple of funny outdoor tasks
Cons
-No benefit for this event
-Not voiced
Final Thought
Premium:
This is a fun character. She’s reasonably priced, and offers some fun outdoor tasks. If you’re looking to expand your premium character arsenal this is a good character to do it with. Decent pickup.
Freemium:
Freemium players, as I’ve said before, I still think Kumiko is the better deal (if you don’t have Kumiko). But this is still a decent price for a premium character/decoration (with a bonus %) offering. If you have the donuts, and you’re looking to pick up a premium character this may be the one to grab. Reasonably priced, funny tasks and bonus % for your Springfield. It’s not a freemium must have, but it’s a nice to have for sure.
Of course in the end it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do. And I can tell you as a premium player, I’ll likely pick her up. Just remember this is limited time, and will be leaving our stores soon. Whatever you decide, So be sure to make your final decision before it’s gone from our games for good. (or for now..)
Here’s a look at his tasks..
Xoxchitla’s Permanent Tasks:
| Task | Length | Earns | Location |
| Teach Math | 1hr | $105, 26xp | Outside/Visual |
| Watch Soccer | 4hrs | $260, 70xp | Samba School |
| Do the Teleboobies Dance | 8hrs | $420, 105xp | Outside/Visual |
| Enjoy a Cocktail | 12hrs | $600, 150xp | Barra |
| Arrange Her Wardrobe | 24hrs | $1,000, 225xp | Brown House |
What are your thoughts on Xoxchitla and the Carnival Float? Will you be picking her up or have you already? Where have you placed the float in your Springfield? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
I got her, but I think there is a glitch. Only her 1 hour job is outdoor. And there is no 8 hour job. Anyone facing the same problem?
Did you do the questline?
Oh I have to finish the quest line… got it! Thanks Alissa!
Character sounds great
Float seems to be as stationary as Devil Ned Flanders
(A shame EA doesn’t make a Character / Building like this for Krustyland)
I agree that Costumed Kumiko w/Americatown is the best deal 👍
The Playdoo Factory would be good
I like her, but the float is very plain 😕 I’m still happy with purchase, but will likely “hide” the float unless I see something creative in a neighboreeno’s SF 😊
I got her, I have no idea what to do with the float though.
Got her as soon as she offered and happy I did, but EA really dropped the ball with not having her use the float. I really expected to see the float animated.
I’m left wondering where the hell they got that name. It’s certainly not Brazilian.
I agree! I was wondering how the heck to pronounce the dang thing! 😕 RachelS
It’s a parody of Xuxa, a famous Brazilian TV show host.
I think it’s a mix between the name of Brazil’s famous kid show host, Xuxa (she was a hit in the 80’s) and some Latinamerican places names from nahuátl language origin such as Xochimilco and Xochitlán.
Yes, the reference to Xuxa makes sense, but the first time I read it it seemed more reminiscent of pre-colonial Central America than of anything Brazilian. Still, I’m quite sure that weird juxtaposition of “x” and “ch” never existed in any language.
Juxtaposition is a juxtaposition in itself.
I have no idea where I could put that float without it looking ridiculous. Kinda wish she was just a standalone character for like 90 donuts, would probably buy her in that case,
Dunno, near the Stonecutters Daycare Center or something?
I really wish we could put all the floats in Krustyland…it’s an ideal place for a parade…
Ditto. Totally agree. 100%. Hate the float, and it’s too big to just hide it somewhere. So, I’m passing, even though the character looks fun and I have the donuts to spare.
I can’t believe hiding it didn’t occur to me! I’ll just hide it behind my hyperstadium.
You could hide a whale behind that! I think I currently have 3 things behind it.
I have tried to put my whale 🐳 behind that stadium, but Lisa won’t let me!
The character is worth the float 😊
I feel like an outcast:
“Our donut bank is shrinking because there are LOADS of worldly items in our stores just tempting us with those sprinkles!”
I seem to be the only one who has seen nothing tempting to get, premium-wise, in this event. Like, nothing.
Was curious about Mr Sparkle, because that’s one thing i was all about… until i saw him in a neighbor’s town. The scale was crazy weird – he’s bigger than the cars, so he’s, like, half a house.
Please, tappers, am i all alone? Am i just old and cynical? Will i hit 500 donuts for the first time ever in years of playing?
Actually that would be kind of cool.
I’ve gotten a couple things, but nothing I couldn’t live without. My biggest problem with much of the stuff is, as usual for me, the scale of everything. But, I won’t even get started on that here…
Why did they make her float look like 3 year old made it? It’s even worse than the other floats & that’s saying something. I doubt I could store the float & not the character. I guess I’ll have to resort to my usual ‘hide it’ strategy. You wouldn’t believe how much stuff I have hidden behind other stuff in my town ’cause I absolutely hate to look at it. 🙄( Now if I could figure out a way to hide that awful pink casino I might buy that too so I could get the character) RachelS
I have to agree on the float. I guess it was actually designed by the animators of the episode from which she comes. It would have been more interesting if the little blocks turned or popped open when the float was animated.
Thanks! It makes more sense knowing she’s based on a kids show host. Kudos to jrose & MaryT – thanks! And I SO agree about the dumb floats, of course. I think mine are in storage tho, as I didn’t remember them having any bonus % attached. I usually only have buildings that pay out & stuff that has a bonus in my town. There’s a few things I just like, I’m sure, but the majority is the stuff that pays. I didn’t do that the first couple years, but now there’s just so much stuff! RachelS
I have a kind of “garbage town” set aside as a railroad/recycling yard. It’s where I drop all of my oddball items that I’m not using for decoration. It’s a good place to store junk I don’t want to put away but can’t find a use for; things like the Halloween couch that turns into into a monster when you tap it and the burning man sculpture. The cluttered look makes it look like an active junk yard. Just a suggestion– 🙂
Any thoughts on the “platnium” ticket?
I was tempted to buy one, but I didn’t. Now I regret it. I would have gotten 1000 donuts, because it spun to 3 little axes 😭😭😭
Worse case is that you get the same number of donuts/dollar as the store. If you buy donuts anyway, you have a fun way to maybe win a few extra. It’s kind of a mystery box for donuts…you can’t really lose, but you might just break even. I tried it, and only got 115 donuts(the lowest prize), but that’s the same as they would have cost me in the store…so, no loss.
This character seems worth it. A full character and 3.5% bonus. Not bad at all. Unfortunately I’m doughnut poor unless I switch on the XP colider.
THANKS everyone for all the suggestions.
I don’t have any flights going on and all characters are free.
So I’m really confused. I do have three flights available but none are in the U.S.
Any more suggestions?
Another “pro”, Float can go on the boardwalk, at least that’s a pro for me takes up less land space 😀
Totally OT, but my Big Box task today is to send Sprinfielders on flights, and the reward is…
Wait for it…
0 Donuts! It actually says “0 Donuts,” and the little window just shows the blue splash background, with nothing in it!
Contact EA. I had doughnuts disappear from my game. I lost 10 doughnuts, contacted EA and support sent me 25 for my loss. EA’s support are good. You may need to wait at least 24hr for a response.
It takes EA to do a massive SNAFU 🙂
You’ve been a bad boy, haven’t you…tomorrow you’ll probably get a lump of coal😆…
Don’t complete it, you will literally get zero donuts. Switch it out for another task.
Hello, I’m mokiedokie586 in the game and I never got the norberts red airplane or the gold train help!!!

Likely because you can’t get them yet…
That’s just crazy talk.
Has there been any other floats besides this and the Easter Float? I’m going to make a mini festival on the boardwalk and I don’t know what floats there are and if i have them in my huge fulfilled inventory. 😛
Simpsons Go to hell float and a christmas float off the top of my head…
There is also a Easter day float with a bunny on it
Very disappointed with the lack of “clockwise -counter clockwise” animation.
And also the jaw-dropping “on top-a, beneath” one. She sounds great in the episode.
for those who dont understand Ned flandes joke on the end of her quest line, Corinthias is a famous soccer team in Brazil
Ah, I’d wondered about that.
Definite instant purchase! Amazing character with amazing outdoor tasks! Well worth the donuts even if it didn’t include the float! 😀 😀
Thanks! I wasn’t sure if this was just a skin for Miss Springfield. Grabbed it. The float is underwhelming but the character is fun.
I also thought it was a Miss Springfield skin! xD
This is off subject but I’m having trouble doing the second flight task for today. Nit says ” find silicon in a valley in North America”. I know the answer is San Francisco, USA. but the answer isn’t showing up. I have no one on any tasks and have three open tickets.
CAN YOU HELP ME with any suggestions?
THANKS
Send one of your available people on a task outside of a plane ride. Then reopen your terminal and you should have five new people available and the destination should show up
You probably have someone on a different US city flight. Once that flight finishes, the San Francisco flight will become an option.
I’ve heard that you can only send one person to the same country at a time. If you currently have someone else in the US right now then that might be why. You’ll need to wait til their flight is done before SF will show up as an option for the next round of flights.
It’s been said a few times. You can only send one character per country. You propably got someone in the US already.
I have had this issue before. Seems to happen if you are doing a task in the same country. Like if your doing a task in New York then San Francisco won’t show up until it’s cleared. After the plane task clears and the plane tickets reset you should get it. Once the task clears you can try to force a reset by sending a character who has a flight on a job instead.
Free up characters from jobs, go to KL and back or FL and back and it should show the correct response.
I tried all those things. Shut down completely, freed everyone, went to KL, Tried to open from app…..nothing! I don’t want to spend 20 donuts to clear it, I’m afraid if I do that I’ll still have same problem for next flight.
Thanks though.
Hope someone has a solution.
If you have a flyer going out already to somewhere in the USA, the next USA flight won’t show up till he returns or until you pull him off the flight (you will lose the 34 pins). If he is associated with a building, store it…that will pull him off the flight…now change your flyers by sending one on a job, and the correct flight to San Fran should show up. If the flyer isn’t tied to a building, you are stuck till he returns. (Don’t forget to re-place your building)
I wish the float was more interesting, but she’s been a fun purchase. It did feel like the tasks flew by, tho!
Thanks Alissa! I thought she might be a NPC instead of a premium character. After reading this, I’ve gone from definite No to serious consideration. The bonus makes up for non-voiced.
No-brainer for me, as a relatively cheap combo with 3.5% bonus
For those of you who don’t know, Xoxchitla is based on Brazilian celebrity Xuxa, who is a model turned singer/ children’s TV show host . She briefly made an English version of the show, which aired in the 90s when I was in high school/ college. The show was utterly bizarre, unintentionally comical, and, therefore, absolutely adored within my social circle. Needless to say, I’m happy she’s considered a good buy. I look forward to seeing her wiggle around my and my friends’ Springfields.
Wish she had a task at the float but still worth it IMO

I got her although I’m a little disappointed she doesn’t have any tasks on the float.
She is worth it, the float isn’t It should be way more elaborate.It’s not Canival, it’s carny.
There is always room for another beautiful lady in my Springfield, so it was an instant buy for me.
Haha, I just heard “On top of a big pile of money, with many beautiful ladies.”
INSTABUY for me 😀
