Mrs. CrumpleBottom

Mrs. Crumplebottom is an elderly NPC sim-woman featured in The Sims 2: Nightlife. She frequents Downtown lots and is usually considered an obstacle in the lives of Sims.

The Crumplebottoms from The Sims: Hot Date and The Sims 2: Nightlife are not actually the same Sim, but distant relatives. It has been revealed that Agnes Crumplebottom was Miss Crumplebottom from The Sims: Hot Date.

Personality
Mrs. Crumplebottom is a very old-fashioned, stern, and strict woman who appears to abide by a moral code from the Victorian Era. She detests when two Sims do any romantic interactions in public. When Mrs. Crumplebottom sees any of these actions taking place on a community lot, she will promptly scold the Sims, smack them, or beat them with her purse. If a Sim innocently wanders out in underwear or bathing suit, Mrs. Crumplebottom will lecture him/her until he/she changes back into his/her everyday clothes.

Dear old Mrs. Crumplebottom is also impossible to change. If one welcomes her into his home through use of cheats, namely Boolprop testingcheatsenabled, and try to use the Sim Modder, her behavior will not change in the least. Even with full niceness, she will still reprimand Sims for showing affection, showing too much skin, or slacking off. It is really a waste of time to even try to fix her.

Mrs. Crumplebottom may not even be a Sim in the strictest sense of the word. Upon being bit by a vampire, Mrs. Crumplebottom has the same stricken gesture as any other bitten Sim, however she does not convert and remains the same as if she were imune to the bite. It is believed that this is because of the game treating her as an object instead of a character. If the player has The Sims 2: Seasons Expansion Pack, if a Sim wishes for Romance into a wishing well, There is a 50% chance that Mrs. Crumplebottom will crawl out of the well and hit the Sim with her purse! (Perhaps a reference to the horror movie The Ring.)

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 large, dark purse. Her dress is a tanned cream color. Her hair is grey and is always tied in a very tight bun. Her hair and outfit are unavailable for female elders without the boolprop testingcheatsenabled cheat.

Distractions
She loves bowling more then she hates love, so romantic sims are safe in bowling alleys. She will play a game and never stop.

She also loves to drink; if a sim is working at a bar, she would be his best customer.

If the player has the Bon Voyage expansion pack installed in the game, a new character is introduced. The Unsavory Charlatan, a venturing scam artist, just seems to be attracted to sweet ol' Mrs. Crumplebottom and if both of these characters are in the same lot he will try to have his way with her and serenade the "sweet" old lady. Sometimes it will work or sometimes he'll end up being beat by one of Mrs. Crumplebottom's famous purse-whippings. These ridiculous interactions may give the player some time to finish up in the lot and head home to safety.

Also, if the player uses boolprop to load her into a lot, she will never leave. Mrs. Crumplebottom is possibly nothing but a decorative object, and the only way by deleting her is by force erroring her or deleting her with moveobjects. The player can use one of the distractions to make sure she doesn't pester his Sim!

Susan Malory Crumplebottom -Macaroni
Agnes was featured in the sims 2 game for the myth or truth that Mrs. Crumplebottom had a daughter who got married to Pipford Macaroni.

Will This afffect her lifespand?

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 and philanthropist, Robert Crumplebottom (mentioned in The Sims: Hot Date and The Sims: Vacation). During his Winter Charity Event, a chandelier dropped full two stories and ending his short, yet inspiring life. His demise could have made Mrs. Crumplebottom very sad, and made her very, very cranky.
 * 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.
