Elmira's Figurine in The Sims 4.

• Elmira appears in The Sims 4 as a common MySims trophy that can be collected by players. Her description reads: "Elmira is sour, strict, impatient, and fussy. Her favorite sound is absolute silence and her favorite hobby is toil. On the plus side, um... she's pretty good at remembering names? That's something, right?"
  • Elmira's trophy appears again in The Sims Mobile as an heirloom charm.

Trivia

Development

• Elmira is Ian Arneson's aunt. According to his profile and one of the dialogues during Star Level 4, he was raised by Elmira in her library.
• The experimental rock band her father used to play in, Nothin' But Drums, is Odin Revolution's favorite rock band.
• When Elmira is reading her book in MySims, the hedgehog on the cover looks like Filbert and The Hedge, both from MySims Kingdom (Console).

References

• In one of Elmira's Star Level 2 dialogues, she talks about seeing Sims "throwing confetti and telling jokes", referencing two of the things Sims do when being nice.
• Elmira's Auntie Crumplebottom is most likely Mrs. CrumpleBottom, Sim from The Sims 2. This also would imply that she and Ian are members of the Crumplebottom family, related to the Goth family, one of the most famous families in The Sims.
  • The Crumplebottom and Goth families have a large amount of members with the grumpy trait and appear to have many dead relatives. This may be a reason for Elmira's rude behavior and having Spooky as her secondary interest.
  • Mrs. CrumpleBottom's outfit appears in the costume chest.
• In one render, the spider on Elmira's book looks like Arachne from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Dispatch Missions

• If the player sends Elmira on Barney Cull's dispatch mission, The Longest Voyage, she will have a romantic interest towards him.
  • They also seem to have a relationship, as she frequently visits his house in MySims Kingdom (Console).
• If the player sends Elmira on Walker's fifth dispatch mission, One More Time, she will reveal her biggest fear is unpleasant noises, and the world to be noisy.

Inconsistencies

• Elmira's hatred of loud noises is ironic, as she yells quite often.
• In MySims Kingdom (Console), while working on Elmira's bonus task, Needy Elmira, the travelogue erroneously refers to Elmira's house as the player's house, saying "Elmira wants you to improve the interior of your house."
• It is ironic for Elmira to appear in MySims Party, as she states she hates noise, throwing parties, and confetti in MySims.
• While most characters have simplified hair textures in MySims Agents (Wii), Elmira uses the same hair texture she had from MySims (Console/PC). This is likely a mistake by the developers since she has a different texture in MySims Kingdom (Console).

Statistics

• Elmira shares her interests with Makoto in MySims.
• Elmira is one of only two Sims who like Domestic, along with Linda.
• Elmira is one of two Sims to own pigs in MySims Kingdom, along with Renée.
  • Elmira's pigs are Pigglez and Porkz, and Renée's pig is Sir Percival J. Worthington IV, a.k.a. Percy.

Other

• Elmira's library soundtracks on MySims are "Piano Sonata No. 16" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and "Invention in A minor, BWV 784" by Johann Sebastian Bach.
• Elmira's library soundtracks only play outside.
• In MySims Kingdom, during Gears of Where?, Elmira asks if the player is really leaving, and at first it sounds like she's going to say she'll miss them, but then quickly says she'll miss her tools. Then in her task Hugs!, she admits that she missed player, and 'the noise [they] always used to made, and asks player to leave her alone, 'as usual.' After player cheers her up, she says she guesses 'not every Wandolier is a good-for-nothing'.
