Mrs. CrumpleBottom

Mrs. Crumplebottom, Mrs. CrumpleBottom, Miss Crumplebottom, Miss CrumpleBottom, or Ms. Crumplebottom are all terms used to identify an elderly NPC sim-woman featured in The Sims: Hot Date and The Sims 2: Nightlife. She frequents Downtown lots in both games, and is usually considered an obstacle in the lives of sims.

Personality
Mrs. Crumplebottom is a very old-fashioned, stern, and strict woman who appears to abide by a moral code from the late-1800s. She detests when two sims do any romantic interactions in public, including hugging, kissing, and flirting. When Mrs. Crumplebottom sees any of these actions taking place on a community lot, she will promptly scold the sims, smack them, or worst of all, beat them with her purse!

Appearance
Mrs. Crumplebottom almost always wears her signature outfit. This includes a long, straight, dress with a button-up overcoat, along with tight shoes, pearls, a pillbox-hat with a small daisy pinned on, a tight bun, and her army wife hat and her large, dark purse. Her dress is a tan/cream color.

Personal Life
One question that is often wondered by inquisitive simmers is "If her name is Mrs. Crumplebottom, then who was her husband?" There are many rumors around the community, and here are some of the most prominent:


 * She was married to the famous puppeteer, Robert Crumplebottom (mentioned in The Sims: Hot Date).
 * She was married to the founder of SimCity/Downtown.
 * She was married to a rich sim who put a lot of money into the community, and she feels that she runs the town because of it.
 * She was married to a sim who was crushed by a chandelier, and afterwards despised love forever because of the tragic incident.
 * Also it is rumored that she is married to the Grim Reaper.

Relation to the Crumplebottom Line


Due to the same family name as Mortimer Goth's maternal relatives, it has been proposed that Mrs. Crumplebottom is a relative of Mortimer. It is sometimes said that she is a distant cousin, though many believe she is Prudence Crumplebottom because of her similar appearance and the fact that Prudence's grave cannot be found in the Goth Family Graveyard.



Player stories

 * When I hadn't installed nightlife, and had just come across the boolprop testingcheatsenabled true cheat, I got up the tombstone of L & D, normal, YOU may think ,but no!Click on the stone and where it says add a neighbor to the family, after scrolling through for someone I'd heard of, I found Mrs. CrumpleBottom.(You must remember that I didn't have nightlife installed, so Mrs. CrumpleBottom, still had a stern face but was bald and wore a funny top, with black bottoms! I made her lovey dovey with Don Lothario, but a message came up on the screen saying she couldn't, but the message was too late, so there was Mrs. CrumpleBottom making out with none other than Don Lothario! I checked her memories but nothing was there apart from meeting new people, most of which were sims that I had made up. Her aspiration was family, and her (as you could imagine) ranking was at it's lowest.
 * I don`t have Nightlife installed, so anyway, i entered the boolprop cheat, pressed spawn...tombstone of L & D. Next, i pressed add neighbor to family...MRs. Crumplebottom!!! Although, she came and still had her stern looking face.. She had a bald head an an athletic outfit! wierd... Oh and yes, there is a clear resemblence between Prudence Crumplebottom and Mrs. Crumplebottom.
