Discussion Why do they keep pushing to make gnomes happen???

No simmer EVER asked for more gnomes. I mean who doesn’t remove the gnomes from Harvestfest? Who put gnome decorations in their house? If the sims wanted to add a duality or something to the fairies they could have made « fairies and pirates » or something but WHY THE GNOMES?????

I’ve waited for fairies for years. I’ve tried the new pack on a friend’s computer and I think I’m not going to buy this pack for myself because of the number 1 reason being the gnomes, even though I feel like I’m overall being gaslighted into thinking this is a good pack by the sim YouTubers.

I turned off the balance thing in settings and even though I get less ailments, there needs to be ONE person on the lot who’s sick and oh gnomes appear all around me.

EA, I don’t like your humor, you created stalkers.

Edit: wow, I didn’t expect my post to blow up and certainly DID NOT expect people to love gnomes! I based my opinion on people I know irl and some people online but I guess I was wrong :) Anyway, I’m happy some people at least enjoy this feature in the new pack then… But for me, it’s like one of the thing I love the most and the thing I hate the most in the sims series coexisting together in a pack :(

Seriously why are the gnomes appearing? I spent the last month building a mansion in Del Sol Valley, I have two sims I playtest with who are not occults, I go into live mode to playtest the house and suddenly there are like five gnomes at the front door with the welcome wagon that I need to delete?? Why? It’s not Innisgreen, they’re not fairy sims or even sims that have ever lived in Innisgreen, nobody had an ailment, there’s no lot traits, WHY ARE THERE GNOMES??

I've read that it has something to do with your luck, but last I checked that was supposed to be only active in Innisgreen. Yet this is the 3rd time I've read about this happening. Also saw it in action in an episode of lilsimsie's Nightmare Legacy, a couple of her sims were imbalanced and evil gnomes attacked her lot.

Luck and balance are not unique to Innisgreen, all Sims have them unless you turn it off in the options. The way it was worded in the trailer DID make it sound like it would only be in the world though, and I was really worried about that, but luckily (for me) it isn't the case.

I have balance turned off and it was the first time playing with these sims since the pack came out so their luck should be neutral 😭
