Hey! This is a brief comparison of Mrs Crumplebottom in the main PC games of The Sims. Took me longer to get this one out cause I was on vacation since Cottage Living was released and the internet was pretty slow, took me 10 hours to make the update and download the pack so I decided to just give up lol. But here it is.
What are your thoughts on Agnes Crumpebottom? I think she's a very "controversial" NPC, either you love her or hate her, and man, I do love her and I'm glad Sims 4 brought her back, took them long enough but I'm glad they're starting to listen and make packs that people ask for.
My opinion?
Sims 1 as always was the introduction and I think it was the quite good. She's a very simple NPC when she's not hitting sims, she's just standing around and you wouldn't really tell the difference if it wasn't for her unique voice. I saw videos where she was way more active than in my game, playing and dancing but I could capture none of that cause mine would just sit and rant, let me know how your behaves cause I'm not sure if mine is broken or what. Anyways, love her little animations and quirks, they give her lots of personality and that's all I can ask for in an NPC.
Sims 2's is more clamed than I remembered, she doesn't react to interactions other than woohoo (again, let me know if yours do lol) and she also dislikes when Sims show too much skin, which could be bothersome if there's a pool. Again, I like her unique animations and the fact that she knits when she's bored, also how she distracts herself by drinking, bowling and gambling, considering her strict attitude, she's living her best life here lol
Sims 3 she was a playable character and I honestly never played her, it got me thinking why Sims 2 was so immersive, the premade families put you in scenarios to display new features, but in her case they make it seem like it's gonna be difficult to get her a partner with a ghost haunting her house but that is not the case, Sims 3's ghosts are way less aggressive than Sims 2's, so I was disappointed in that aspect, but hey, it's cool to get to play her in her young years to redefine her.
Sims 4 was just introduced and she was very well made, I liked the fact that she could be added to the family and that they kept a bit of her past traits/interests, and of course, her iconic purse attack. Overall I would've liked if she had a unique voice and if she had more unique dialogue but that's probably just me.
So my order would be Sims 2, Sims 1/4 and Sims 3 last. But that's just my opinion, let me know what you think and tell me if there's something I forgot (aside from the Sims 1 dance lol) see you on the next one, I'm thinking cows MAAAAYYY be next but we'll see, thank you for reading :D
