This is so funny – my new Sim Larisa had a baby, a boy I named Gunnar. Before he was born, I bought two Magic Gnomes (a Bling one and a Vampire one) using the buydebug cheat and put them on the lawn. During the night, Bling moved to the outdoor porch and I couldn’t find the Vampire one anywhere. But then the next day, when I looked in Gunnar’s nursery I saw that the teddy bear that was in his crib had been replaced by a new second Vampire Gnome, and the first Vampire one was on the floor, right next to the crib. Creepy!! I moved the one in the crib out and put his imaginary friend doll that came in the mail into his crib.

EDIT: Now the imaginary friend doll has moved out of the crib by itself. ooooooooOOOOOOOooooo

Omg that's awesome. How do you get the magic gnomes normally?

Don't you get the gnomes in the washing machines or something? lol

I read you usually get magic gnomes from collecting ore and other time-intensive stuff that I'm not interested in. I cheated and just bought them.

I need to do a collector sim sometime.

Yeah, I've gotten the magic gnomes a lot from using the mining drill. I think you can get it from gardening a lot as well. The laundry Gnome is a teddy bear. I don't know why they call it a gnome. Unless it's a gnome dressed up in a teddy bear costume. :P

You can also get the gnomes if you explore catacombs in the graveyard lots :)

I'm going to have to send a sim to the graveyard, I guess. My sims have a miner but I've built up the backyard and frontyard so much there's not a lot of places to drill. XD

I've found gnomes while fishing and in the time machine.

I finally got a second gnome (found one mining). My sims' other gnome is the one from inventing. Right before my sim found the second gnome the other one was hanging out in the bathroom upstairs. I put the 2nd gnome in the family room. Later that day I spotted them both together in the backyard on the playground. Now every time I see them they're together but I still haven't seen another gnome. :/ And my sims have had two babies since then. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

I placed two magic gnomes on my lot, Dorothy & Junko. They had a toddler gnome called Bennie.

Then two more magic gnomes appeared in one of my sims inventories so I placed them and called them Maura & Sidney.

So now I have four adult gnomes and a toddler gnome moving all over the lot. Currently they're all flocked together on the front lawn. My sim family must look like real nutters. :p

Is this in the base game? If so...
If not...

I <3 smileys!

I got three magic gnomes (from mining), dropped them on the grass and left them alone for a while. A few days later, I got a baby gnome.



After a while (I think two sim-weeks) I got somesort of special trophy:

I have like 4-5 magic gnomes on my lot and I'm just waiting.. waiting... til I get Generations, that is.

I think ur "special trophy" is acctually a gnome gravestone
I THINK. I can't really remember very well though.

My gnomes~ <3 The gnome of invention and the one with the cane next to it are the "parents": Roxanne and Ken. Though Roxanne died very shortly after this. D:

I'd buy generations solely for this purpose. Bahaha

Gravestone... that might explain it :P. Unfortunately I sold all the gnomes, because I never really liked having the little buggers around, so I can't check. But it would be pretty nice if that's it.
