The Crumplebottoms from ''[[The Sims: Hot Date]]'' and ''The Sims 2 Nightlife'' are not actually the same Sims, but distant relatives.<ref>[http://thesims2.ea.com/community/chat_06_16_05.php TheSims2.com - The Sims 2 Nightlife Chat Transcript]</ref> It has been revealed that [[Agnes Crumplebottom]] was [[Miss Crumplebottom]] from ''The Sims: Hot Date''.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFq40YSYGso The Sims 3 Demo With Grant Rodiek Part 1]</ref>
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.
Mrs. CrumpleBottom is also impossible to change. While making her part of a household will cause game corruption and is not recommended, if a player does this with the [[Tombstone of Life and Death]] and tries to change her personality with the [[Sim Modder]], her behavior will not change in the least. Even with full niceness, she will still lecture Sims for showing affection, showing too much skin, or slacking off.

So far, there are six known ways to avoid Mrs. CrumpleBottom:
#Don't go Downtown. Sims don't have to go out for a date. A cozy night at home can be every bit as satisfying as a night out. Since Mrs. CrumpleBottom can't go
#If Sims do go Downtown for a date, have them go to a bowling alley, a nightclub with a bar, or a lot with at least one poker table. Although Mrs. CrumpleBottom is mean and cranky, she still likes fun as well as drinks. Sims can be [[WooHoo]]ing right in front of her and she won't care as long as she is bowling, drinking or playing poker. See [[Mrs. CrumpleBottom#Distractions|the Distractions section]] below.
#Cancel her action before she can complete it. She is an old woman, so she is slow. While she is walking toward your Sim(s), X out her action by clicking on it. It is a picture of her at the top left corner. Many experienced Simmers know this. If she is running toward them, pause the game and X out her action. Try to overwrite it by making the Sim(s) do something else like talk to each other. She will still yell at them, but they won't notice because of the action they are doing at the moment.
#Use boolProp [[TestingCheatsEnabled]] true, then use force error on her. This cheat can be used to delete her from the lot. Unfortunately, doing that doesn't ensure she won't come back.
#Have a date on a community lot that is not located Downtown. Special Sims introduced with
#Use of [http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=278816 this mod] from ModTheSims will prevent her from spawning in the game. The mod does not do anything harmful, just modifies the code that tests to see if she should be spawned so it always says that she shouldn't. This will not prevent the ''Seasons'' wishing well from having the failure flame when a romance wish fails, but she will not be spawned.

[[File:PlayingBowling.jpg|thumb|Mrs. CrumpleBottom loves to bowl.]]
She loves bowling more than she hates love, so romantic Sims are safe in bowling alleys.
{{info|Note|Sims who are at a poker table or bowling lane with Mrs. CrumpleBottom may appear to meet her and build a relationship with her. Since relationships are stored at the neighborhood level, this should not cause changes to her character file.}}
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

*While using a sketch table in ''The Sims 3'', one of the randomly generated sketches a Sim creates is a picture of Mrs Crumplebottom.
*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.
