The Ultimate Magic Gnome Thread

I found a new one that came with Showtime!

Here's the Lounge Lizard gnome:



He's kinda cute, in that "don't invite him over to your place, ladies" sort of way.  I'm gonna name him Larry.

Edit:  This little guy moved in about the time my Singer hit level 7 in her career.

I've noticed the Magician ones seem to appear after scoring a 'Legendary' performance -- anyone else back that up for the new gnomes, or have you noticed something different? It would probably mean they don't start appearing until a fair way up the career ladder.

I got a Magician gnome after hosting a level 8 Magician.

This Magician gnome showed up in my Sims' yard even though none of them have any connection with the Magician career, or with any Showtime career. Maybe someone dumped him off?

About the laundry gnome, does the laundry have to be on your home lot, or can those be found at the laundromat too? While the moodlet is awesome, I don't like bothering with laundry in the game any more than I do in real life so I rarely buy the washers and dryers, but I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that little guy.

I'd just like to say that I had a game where I got lots of gnomes by fishing in the wishing well that is part of Lucky Palms. Even the travel gnomes, and they hadn't even traveled at that point. Even the sculpting and inventing gnomes, even though no one was inventing at that point.

Most likely because fishing up items makes you get random items. So if your change is getting a gnome, you have a change of getting any genome, depending on expansions installed, obviously.

I bought the Showtime Prima Guide a while back, and It mentions how the gnomes give you benefits in skill building. So now I'm curious! What other gnomes give you benefits and if so, what are the moodlets, skill advancements or etc? I'd love to compile a list of all the gnomes available and what their benefits are!

The only one I know for sure is the inventing gnome, which can finish an invetion for you over night.  I'm pretty sure there is one that affects sculpting, at least I have heard that, never had one myself.  And I thought I understood that there is one that can boost the quality of plants in the garden.  I don't go for gnomes that often, so I would need someone to verify these.

The Inventing Gnomes does finish Inventions. I'm pretty sure the Sculpting Gnome does as well.

I've looked for wedding arches before and can't find them.   Where does one get the it? I want gnomeboos.

They came with Generations. If you have the EP, you can find them under Outdoor Activities in the Sort By Room menu of Buy Mode.

Inventing gnomes will finish an invention left on the bench to 99% done.  But a sculpting gnome will finish the sculpture completely 

I have never heard of any helping the garden though unless they're coming with the new EPs.

In the Prima guide, it states that the Lounge lizard will help boost instrustmental skills. I've tested this with my sim and it does give a significant boost with the gnome in the room while he was playing the Guitar. So far:
 Lounge Lizard: Musical skill building boost
 Inventing gnome: Will finish inventions.
 Sculpting Gnome: Will Finish sculptures.
Garden Gnome: Gardening boost* ( Needs to be verified)

There is no garden gnome.   The original gnomes are Mysterious Mr. Gnome.  None of them have garden in their name and I've noticed no difference whether I have them or I don't have them.   I do know more things break when they're around but that's about it.
