Mrs. CrumpleBottom/theories



Theory #1
Robert Crumplebottom could have been a cousin or sibling of Simon Crumplebottom. Mrs. Crumplebottom might have changed her last name upon marriage. After the chandelire accident, which was the cause of Robert's dreaded demise, Mrs. Crumplebottom became lonely and sad, however whenever she sees people in love it reminds her of how she lost her one true love, and that has made her bitter and lonely.

As for Elmira Clamp, Mrs. Crumplebottom's maiden name could have been Clamp, before she married Robert. If that's the case, then she had a brother who had Elmira. Or Mrs. Crumplebottom's last name wasn't Clamp, then she had a sister, who married a man whose last name was Clamp and then she had Elmira.

Theory #2
Robert Crumplebottom could have been the brother of Simon Crumplebottom. He could have married Mrs. Crumplebottom and she took his last name. Eventually, Robert died, leaving Mrs. Crumplebottom heart-broken, so she can't stand the sight of love.

As for Elmira Clamp, I belive the same as theory 1

Theory #3
My theory is a little more elaborate (but, i think, more realistic);Robert Crumplebottom is Simon Crumplebottoms nephew. Because if you think about it Mrs.Crumplebottom is an elder in sims 2 and so she has to be younger in sims 3. I know she was an elder in sims and sims 2 but stranger things have happened in the sims world (Bella's dissaperance!)

As for Elmira Clamp I belive like the previous entries that Mrs.Crumplebottoms maiden names was Clamp and she had a brother who past the Clamp name onto Elmira. I also have another Mrs.Crumplebottom theory though...

Theory #4
Another brainbuster of a conundrum is in the sims 2 family tree it says Agnes crumlebottom was never married! So how can she be married in the sims 3? Why wouldn't the Sims 2 make that connection?

You know what it is? The developers heard that some ppl wanted to know why the Crumplebottom in downtown was very cranky. The Sims 1 hinted on it but the Sims 3 is before everything and anything, so they wanted to give players answers. It is fustrating becasue in the process they made her story not make any sense.

Theory #5
answers my questions to some extent and so having that answered, I have come to the conclusion that The distisnct realtive featured in nightlife( which makes sense btw :how long do you think she can live? In the sims 1 she is already old,so she would probably die of old age. NOT live another 25 years! And I caculated her life expectancy by sims years. Even if in theory Sims had a life expectancy feature of 1000 days. she could only live for 11 more years than regular life expecatncies of 90 days, not 25 more years(sims 2 regular lifespan)!)is a whole different Crumplebottom all together. Yes,meaning I believe Maxis's explanation, although they made it up to make the Sims3 make sense(I'm on to them!). By the Crumplebottom name & Etymology itself can tell you to why she is cranky (In story books ppl anmes ending in --Bottom tend to act thesame way Mrs. Crumplebottom), they all who bear the name seem to uptight and oldfashioned. The Nightlife Crumplebottom being of that distinct but none the less true family line carries on the legacy of crankines & prudeness, for reasons of her just wanting to be that way. Nobody had to tell Elimira clamp to be that way, she just is. In addition, the Unsavory Charlatan, would never be able to flirt witht agnes b/c she would be busy being cranky over her husbands death to want to be swayed by the come ons by a local pickpocket (aka a rascal roughian, which she dislikes).Although is is not traditional of Robert Crumplebottom to have changed his last name, and keeping in mind the Crumplebottoms are quite traditional, maybe it was just a really badly embrassing last name. Lastly, Anybody think the Nightlife Crumplebottom could be Ms. Crumplebottom" instead ofMrs. Crumplebottom", it would sure make less sense!

Theory #6
I think that Prudence's Ghost had children with another man, but since they never got married the last name of the child ended up being crumplebottom and that crumplebottom married some girl from pleasantview and gave birth to Robert crumplebotom who was then married Alyssa Clamp and gave birth to Miriam Crumplebottom

Mrs. Crumplebottom Theories Continues
The Mrs. Crumplebottom from the Sims 2 is a distant relative. But who is she? The Mrs. Crumplebottom Theories continues.

Theory #3
User:Joethatblackguy- I think Prudence Crumplebottom had a daughter (from a past marriage) named Alyssa and she married Marshall Danders and he was already divorced and had a daughter and was nearing death so when Marshall died by old age. Alyssa went busy with Grim and she produced twins Mrs. Crumplebottom and an unnamed boy. But pretty soon Alyssa died a few hours after her twins's birth and Prudence was too old to raise them that Agnes had to raise them so I think Mrs. Crumplebottom is really the child of The Grim Reaper, niece of Cornelia Crumplebottom and Agnes Crumplebottom, cousin of Mortimer Goth, and granddaughter of Prudence Crumplebottom

Theory IV(4)
What if Agnes and Erik's ghost had Robert Crumplebottom, who married the Sims 2 Mrs.Crumplebottom before his "death".

Theory #5
Now this may sound out there, but what if the Mrs. Crumplebottom from the Sims 2, is the same Mrs. Crumplebottom, but, she is a ghost disguised as a human like the one from the sims 2 for the PSP?

Theory #6
Possibly Erik and Agnes had a baby and called it Mrs. so her full name was Mrs. Crumplebottom and it got taken by the Social Worker and never got adopted and of corse was not in the family tree solved i think

Theory #7
Agnes and Cornelia had a brother who is Robert Crumplebottom. At some point, perhaps when Robert was almost an elder, he married Mrs. Crumplebottom from the Sims 2. He died early in his elder life but not without leaving a legacy which is mentioned in the Sims 1. Mrs. Crumplebottom was heartbroken like her sister and law Agnes, and became very similar to Agnes. Agnes' death prior to the Sims 2 allowed Mrs. Crumplebottom to take on the role as the stern and strict woman who hates other sim's expressions of romance.
