How do you deal with Agnes Crumplebottom?

Ah, Agnes Crumplebottom. Everyone's favourite lead handbag wielding battleaxe. The crusader against all things romantic. Many a sim have been attacked by this old bat. And the worst thing is, she's immune to spellcaster shenanigans. She's not immune to other stuff however, like freeze rays:

What have you done to get revenge on Agnes Crumplebottom?

EDIT: Turns out the heinous handbag wielder isn't immune from spellcaster magic after all!

  • I do beg to differ. Agnes isn't against romance, per se, just public displays of such! It's called, "Get a Room!" As for how I handled the few times she's popped up in my game, I just let her do her thing, especially the first time. I was very curious to see how she would behave to compare it with my Sims2 days where I first got acquainted with the old bat as you called her. ;) Very fitting. Aaron, the current Professional Athlete in my game just stood there and 'took' it. Such a gentleman he can be. His next younger brother, however, is a Rock Star. You don't mess with a Rock Star. He managed (autonomously, mind you) to get his hand on her bag to stop the assault. Go, Erik!

    Quite frankly, I haven't seen her in game, since. Sadness.

    @MelanieScribbles Great shot. Her blows are very hard to capture, they happen so quickly.

    I hardly ever see her, unless I'm playing a Henley sim. My sims never go out on dates (long courtship is boring, I just move sims in with eachother, quicker that way), and most of the romancin' goes on in the comfort of our homes.
  • I don't need to get revenge for I have simply appreciated her too much for her own liking and that is revenge enough
  • For unlimited entertainment, introduce her to Temperance. The hilarious mayhem is well worth the trouble of arranging the meeting. (Temperance does NOT frighten her.)

    She's not immune to vampire powers either but she just won't die even 48 hours after her hunger is depleted


    She does seem to have some level of resistance to spells, but it's not 100%. One of my spellcaster sims managed to hit her with Infatuate and caused her to make out with an elderly gentleman in a park, just to see if she would attack herself with her own handbag. (She did not, but she did attack him immediately afterwards.)

    ^ What about love potion?


    That's an interesting thought, will have to try that. I can think of some creative uses for Alluring Aura and Transcendent Charmer potions, where she's concerned. Rose Perfume might have some funny effects too, that's a serum which scientists can make.

    The sim who managed to get the Infatuate spell to work on her is a bit of a magical prankster, and it's right up his alley. He's also been known to turn his high school principal into a bowl of fruit, and created a rivalry between the school custodian and Bonehilda by summoning her during lunchtime.

    Ok, from what I can gather, she's like marmite. Some people like her, some hate her.
