Mrs. CrumpleBottom: Difference between revisions

Mrs. CrumpleBottom is  a very old-fashioned, stern, and strict woman who appears to abide by a [[wikipedia:Victorian morality|moral code from the Victorian Era]]. She detests when two Sims have 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 or beat them with her purse.<ref>In some versions of ''[[The Sims 2]]'', there is a glitch which may prevent Mrs. CrumpleBottom from noticing any romantic interactions.</ref> If a Sim innocently wanders out in his/her underwear or bathing suit, Mrs. CrumpleBottom will repeatedly lecture them until he/she changes back into his/her everyday clothes. This could be an issue if the player makes a public pool as a Downtown lot. Mrs. CrumpleBottom loves to knit, and she will usually knit as an idle animation when she's not doing anything.

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, in which he'll end up receiving 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.

In the spin-off game, [[w:c:mysims:MySims|MySims]], Mrs. CrumpleBottom makes a cameo as a costume. There is a dress that resembles hers, along with a hat with hair in a bun like hers. There are also eyes that look like those of an elderly person along with a craggy mouth. It is mentioned in [[Elmira Clamp]]'s profile that she has an "Auntie Crumplebottom". Some people believe that her auntie is Mrs. CrumpleBottom, although this causes retroactive continuity wherein ''MySims'' is a prequel to ''The Sims 3'',<ref>There is a Sim - [[Vincent Skullfinder]] - a character from ''MySims'', who is deceased at the start of the game in [[Sunset Valley]]</ref> which is a prequel to ''The Sims 2''.

*She was married to the founder of SimCity/Downtown{{fact}}.

**Mrs. CrumpleBottom's genetics can not be passed on, because her genetic data is missing. However an exact replica of her can be downloaded [http://www.mediafire.com/download/sk3rlpaua7pw5a4/SavedSims.rar here]. This is one way of playing as Mrs. CrumpleBottom without the risk of corrupting the game, except that she will be treated just as a regular Sim, without Mrs. CrumpleBottom's unique behaviors.

*An "Auntie Crumplebottom" (who is usually believed to be Mrs. CrumpleBottom) is mentioned in the ''[[MySims]]'' games, where it's revealed that she raised her niece, [[Elmira Clamp]]. This would seem to imply that Mrs. CrumpleBottom had at least one sibling, though their fate - including why she was left to raise Elmira alone - is unknown.
