Description | |
The three Crumplebottom sisters are very different in both appearance and attitude. Beatrice is the oldest and very set in her grumpy ways. Belinda is as good natured a person as you could ever meet and often fills the role of family peacekeeper. Meanwhile Bianca is a bit of a spitfire and all about flirting her way through life. These witchy siblings can cast some serious magical mojo; that is when they aren’t squabbling over whose turn it is to wash the dishes! | |

World | Henford-on-Bagley |
The Crumplebottom ( Listen) family (sometimes written CrumpleBottom family) is a notable, sophisticated, and fairly wealthy family, originally from Pleasantview. In most of their depictions, they seem to carry themselves as the most civilized people in town, sometimes even acting haughty. The known members are Prudence, Simon, Agnes, Agatha, Beatrice, Belinda, Bianca, Mrs. CrumpleBottom, and Cornelia, who was a Crumplebottom before she married into the Goth family.
Life leading up to The Sims: Hot Date
The family's last name hints towards the family's "uptight" behavior, suggesting that if a nearby Sim acts immodestly or in a wild manner, a family member would get his or her "bottom" in a "crumple". Another, more vulgar explanation for the Crumplebottom name is that the family appear to have a history of growing prune trees, as evidenced by the neutered variant of the Crumplebottom Prune Tree available for sale in The Sims: Hot Date. The prune has a reputation for giving people regular bowel movements, and the name "Crumplebottom" may have come about from an early family member's strong reaction to the fruit.
Life leading up to The Sims 2
During their lifetime, the Crumplebottoms lived in Henford-on-Bagley, Sunset Valley and Pleasantview, but in The Sims 2 all of them are deceased, save for Mrs. CrumpleBottom, who's said to be a distant relative. Although she is the only true Crumplebottom left in-game, the family's blood still runs in the prominent Goth family. It is, however, implied that there are more distant family members still alive, although their identities are currently unknown.
Life leading up to The Sims 3
In The Sims 3, Agnes Crumplebottom, the aunt of Mortimer Goth, makes an appearance as a young adult. Other than the grave of her late husband, Erik Darling, at her home, her sister, and the graves of her parents at her brother-in-law's house, she has no immediate family living near her, and she lives perpetually alone along the outskirts of town. According to her biography, she married Erik, but during their honeymoon, before she could even change her last name, he drowned. Whether or not her wealthy home is inherited from her husband, Agnes is a wealthy woman from the beginning, having a lavish, modern home with expensive furniture and decor and an expensive sports car. However, despite her lavish home, there is an empty room across her bedroom that appears to be half done: there is a depressingly dull crib and teddy bear in it, along with several walls empty while some lined with childish wallpaper, which hints that Agnes and Erik wanted children and were going to try for one.
The Crumplebottom name also appears in The Sims 3: Supernatural. In the town of Moonlight Falls, three Crumplebottom sister witches appear. Beatrice, Belinda, and Bianca — living together in a Victorian-era manor. They seem to bear a striking resemblance to Prue, Piper, and Phoebe Halliwell from Charmed.
Life leading up to The Sims 4
In The Sims 4: Cottage Living, the Crumplebottom family resides in the town of Henford-on-Bagley. Agnes Crumplebottom can be seen around the countryside village hitting unsuspecting Sims with her infamous handbag. Agnes lives with her cousin, Agatha Crumplebottom.

August Moon (2br, 2ba)
Because of the traditional town of Sunset Valley, August Moon is considered austere for its modern architecture. The house is expensive, especially when the house is bought along with the sports car. However, there is a half-finished baby room in the second floor that is probably cheaper than the smallest bathroom.
Trivia
- There is a street named Crumplebottom Drive on the campus of Sim State University, perhaps implying some philanthropic work by the family for the university.
- The Crumplebottom family were referenced in The Sims Medieval. A skilled bard can perform a song named "Crumplebottom Waltz" with a fiddle.
