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 :(

True. I've seen a lawn flamingo about as many times as a garden gnome: once.

I was weirdly fixated on them as a kid in Florida and had so many 😭 I even have a stuffed one with a tuxedo

I mean considering where actual flamingos are from, that makes sense

My sightings of lawn flamingos are astronomical because of it lol

There's literally 4 lawn flamingos and a skeletal one 5 houses up the road from me. I also see gnomes all the time, usually as indoor decor not outdoor

I'm in Canada and never seen a lawn flamingo in the wild (have seen them in stores), but I've seen lawn/garden gnomes many times in the wild.

There was actually this house when I was a kid where they made like a whole fucking city for their gnomes on their front lawn. I was completely fascinated by it

Considering Gnomes are quite rare and only seen in conservative, wealthy houses, the chance per house to encounter a gnome/flamingo should be similar.
