How to celebrate Agnes' 100th birthday?

That's right, in my game this stunning woman will soon turn 100 years old! She won't be the first resident getting this old, but she will be the first I think that ought to be celebrated. She is still a major stockholder of Landgraab Industries, Inc. (making her one of the wealthiest residents of my kingdom), and she certainly left a solid (and perhaps aching) impression wherever she appeared. She currently resides with her cousin Agatha, in a cottage rented from the Rossie dukedom, with Agnes' son, daughter-in-law, and their little child who is Agnes' granddaughter, Agnella. Here is Agnes' family tree.

But, how would you celebrate Agnes Crumplebottom's first 100 years? Tea party? Finchwick festival? Dinner with the regional Duke of Rossie? A night in the theatre? A drink on the beach of Sulani?

 

  • She needs to do something daring, like getting her first tattoo or woohoo in the park under the stars. 😁

        Noooo! Haha, you two are too hard to her! She is a very emotional woman, been through so much negativity in her YA years. Well.. hm... it would be hilarious.... park or beach... with an audience thanx to a SoMe sim into drone filming... now it can't be unseen...

      Thank you! My game just started a new calendar year, and Agnes is born in Spring, so I should really speed up the planning. I'll make sure to post a couple pictures here, but it will not be this weekend for sure.

      Fascinating indeed! But somehow I believe Agnes Crumplebottom would have avoided any universal element named anything like "the great attractor". Her purse swinging will make sure of that.

  • Wow!! Awesome. How'd you set up the family tree?! And how'd you export those official portraits?! :D

      Hello, and thanks! I scripted it all in JavaSchript. Figured that would be an easy way for me to keep notes. Portraits are just screenshots from CAS, edited in Photoshop. If you are slightly into these things, it's not difficult a all. Some portrayed sims and family tree connections are just made up though, not everything is "true" in anyone's game. 

  • First of all she will want to visit the graveyard
    to visit her late husband who may or may not be alive but she does not know that.

    then she will head to the knitting circle with fellow old ladies and get many presents of yarn.
    then she will have tea and cake with someone proper and suitable exactly at 4 o'clock.

    upon leaving she will encounter Unsavory Charlatan and bag slap him.
    Unsavory Charlatan will offer her flowers in return
    which she will grumpily accept only to sell at her gardening stall.

    She will spend rest of the day at the gardening stall, as usual, no need to fuss over birthday.
    at evening there will be a huge surprise party arranged by Agatha
    with all the activities which she will absolutely detest.

    She will go home before night and grumpily sleep.
    until Vlad creepy walks in. following hours are mystery.

    Grim reaper arrives at 3 o'clock and tries to collect her dusty bones
    but then realizes she did in fact knit a grim reaper plushie earlier that day
    which saves her from death, yet again.
     
    Darn it, says every romantic sim in town
    as she shows up next morning,
    gloomy and grumpy, ready to bag slap everyone, forevermore.

      LOL, that would be a really interesting birthday! :) In fact, I never thought of the graveyard, and I don't even recall if I ever played her two long-gone husbands. They should both have a grave, and Agnes would still miss her men, but if I remember correctly they died in some TS3 world that is no longer in my game. Agnes had a son in my game, but it is a mystery and some say it was a science child created only for her to avoid Agatha being the sole heir to Agnes' fortune - which is actually astronomic. Hm, maybe one of her late husbands have a grave in Ravenwood...

    Maybe she should have an affair with several older men, move them in and woohoo them to death, thereby collecting their money.đŸ€­

      But she is already among the wealthiest sims in the entire kingdom, I'm not sure she even dreams of any more money. Accordig to the TS3 lore (?) Agnes Crumplebottom was the biggest share holder of one of the larger Landgraab companies, I I think it was Landgraab Industries, Inc.  Trying to calculate it made me dizzy, even if she owned only 5% of such a big company she would be super wealthy. AND I allowed her to own 15% - which made Nancy Landgraab furious, back in those days...

      It would be great fun watching her wearing the cupido costume from Lovestruck, and doing a seductive dance in front of a senior lover, though. And now it can't be unseen - help! :)

  • Ha, take her to the lounge on a blind date and make her flirt with EVERYONE!! đŸ„‚đŸŠčđŸŠ‡đŸ€Ł

      That's a safe bet that won't kill her. 🙂

      Ha! I never really imagined that she is even able to flirt... but of course she is. Hm, but who would enjoy been flirted with by a 100 yo woman?

    How about visiting Ravenwood, swing her purse at a black crow, have death by crow & become a Ghost to tick off poor Grim Reaper.
