The Ultimate Magic Gnome Thread

My sim sculpted a Mysterious Mr. Gnome out of wood. Will it move around?

I've never had one of those, but figuring from that all gnomes so far without exception have moved around I would say that it's pretty sure that yours will.

I've sculpted one out of clay, and my inventor built one as well.  Both move around and now it has a little 'magical' sound as they teleport elsewhere on your property as well as little sparkly "poof" when they vanish.  Rumor has it there is a caveman one as well you get from the time machine?  Also the inventor gnome is rumored to finish your inventions if you leave unfinished inventions on the table... again a rumor.

My sim found a "Sleeping Gnome McMulty". It's not a mysterious gnome, so I'm guessing it won't move. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks like the ones you buy that don't move...

I am getting my sim to do laundry to try to get the laundry gnome. Any tips for how to get it exactly?

No tips, my sim was taking the laundry out of the dryer, when the announcement popped up that they had found a laundry gnome.  That is the only one I have gotten and I have a couple of sculptors and inventors level 10 and have not gotten any other gnome.

It is the one that doesn't move, but I've found that the "normal" garden gnome you can get from the time machine has a unique whitish colour. It cannot be replicated with either create a style or the eyedropper tool. Now that's weird.

Just so happens, I heard that noise and paused it real fast and found this:




Thought that was pretty cool, I actually got a pic of him disappearing.

So far Sleeping Gnome McNulty has not moved an inch after several Sim days.  He just looks bright and cheery in my farm plot.

My Sim just did the laundry and got the teddy bear gnome. I believe it only comes with the most expensive washing machine.

You can also find a bear gnome when you do laundry. I found two already.

[Saltypaws]

I think those are the same as laundry gnome, my avatar is a laundry gnome.

[Leto85]

I finally found one while doing the laundry.
At least, It would be probably, the bear was in my sims inventory one day. He could have did the laundry the previous day.

My inventor sim has once made a inventor gnome. Not because he leave the unfinished inventing on the table. Maybe that will work to.

I'm just hoping that if my maid finds a gnome while doing the laundry, that she won't keep it for herself. Lol

[Slingsby]

Looks like I need to dig a new cellar to provide space for a collection of all the possible gnomes in all the different poses ....

Actually, I think you have to discover it yourself. I don't think the maid will give it to you, not even find it.

Btw: why are all my gnomes sneaking to my nectar basement every time I am not looking? If I will ever find one hiccup or throw up, I know I will immediatly get rid of them all! That nectar is worth more than $6000,-. Per bottle! :O

You can't stop them, bwha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
In Sims 1 they also always went for the wine (which was actually allowed to be called wine!).
