Mrs. CrumpleBottom: Difference between revisions

#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 onto private property without the use of cheats (or a Wishing Well romance wish fail), Sims can show as much affection as they desire without the risk of being beaten with a purse or scolded. This will also save money because they don't need to buy a car, call a taxi, or build a garage. This is not always the best choice, especially if a Sim [[want]]s to go out.

#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.

She loves bowling more than she hates love, so romantic Sims are safe in bowling alleys. \Once she starts to bowl, she will never stop. She loves to play cards at a card table, or poker on a lot that has a poker table, and she will play forever unless she is interrupted. (This is because she has no motive decay.) Therefore, it can be useful for the player to have Sims on dates go to lots with poker tables or card tables. She also loves to drink. She will usually spend most of her time at a bar when there's one on a community lot.
