Mrs. CrumpleBottom

Mrs. Crumplebottom is an elderly NPC sim-woman featured in The Sims: Hot Date and The Sims 2: Nightlife. She is frequently in Downtown lots in both games, and is usually considered an obstacle in the lives of Sims. It has been confirmed by The Sims 3 Hands-On Event Day that Mrs. Crumplebottom is none other than Agnes Crumplebottom.

Personality
Mrs. Crumplebottom is a very old-fashioned, stern, and strict woman who appears to abide by a moral code from the late-19th Century. 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.

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 tan/cream color. Her hair is white/gray and is tied in a bun. In the original The Sims, she usually takes out an opera glasses from her purse to take a look at something. Her eyebrows always looked like she was angry all the time. In The Sims 3 she is an adult and she wears a long black buttoned up dress with long black sleeves, black mull like shoes and her bushed-up hair is blonde.

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 finally this mystery is solved in The Sims 3. She was married to Robert Crumplebottom, a famous puppeteer and philanthropist in SimNation. During his Winter Charity Event, a chandelier dropped full two stories and ending his short, yet inspiring life. His demise seems to made Mrs. Crumplebottom very sad, and made her very, very cranky. She has a niece named Elmira Clamp.

If you have The Sims: Hot Date installed, one of the default downtown lots is named "Crumplebottom Park", and if you read the description, it is dedicated to Robert Crumplebottom. If you have 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!

Sometimes, if you/any Sim do a romantic interaction, she will stop whatever she is doing, nag you and smack you.

The Sims 2
If you have 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 you are lucky enough to have both of these characters 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. Now, how does this help you? It might give you some time to finish up in the lot and head home to safety.
