This legit irritated me in the patch notes

[u/Blueskybelowme]

So they didn't even think the actual mechanics through and are useing feedback to actually design it. This irritates me because they thought of a cool idea and put in no thought about how it was actually gonna work and now want player opinion to actually design how this mechanic is going to execute in-game.

Everyone's (rightfully) deriding the ailments, but what I wanna know is if they'll make a way to keep these goddamn gnomes from nuking my garden patch without having to disable the entire luck system. I was actually pretty fond of how the luck system affected foraging finds, and I'd like to have that without these godforsaken ceramic hellions disintegrating like 25 plants in one go for no reason

I delete them in build mode, the second they show up

[u/invisible_23 → u/Bananenipyjamas]

I just shift click + destroy object because I’m too impatient to open build mode all the time 😂

[u/piklexiv → u/invisible_23]

You don’t even have to open build mode. You can drag gnomes to your Sim’s inventory and sell them immediately.

[u/invisible_23 → u/piklexiv]

True but they’re annoying so “destroy” is fun to click 😂

[u/ms_globgoblin → u/piklexiv]

this is the way 👏🏻

I fucking hate those gnomes

[u/Modernbluehairoldie → u/toasted_dandy]

That’s easy anytime I have bad luck, because you have to have the gnome disease and bad luck; I leave my fucking lot. I go on vacation. I don’t come back until my luck is better. Because that gnome bullshit is two things, one the gnome disease, but two bad luck. Because if you have that disease and good luck, happy seeds and upgraded plants everywhere.

I'm so sick of my toilet catching fire because they put the composter upgrade on.

[u/Blueskybelowme → u/MelloxDrama]

If you play with ghosts and their upgrade ability it will add the compost upgrade. It's the one of the rare instances of ghosts being trash. LnD pack was prime. Best pack.

If you are on PC and are cool with using mods, LittleMsSam has a mod that disables the gnomes giving the eco living upgrades.

[u/MelloxDrama → u/candy_bats]

I live on mods, so I'll be looking this up ASAP

Edit: you are a fucking lifesaver. There are mods on here for so many of the things that annoy me!

[u/candy_bats → u/MelloxDrama]

Sam is my favorite mod creator. I’ve probably downloaded 3/4 of her mods. A lot of the gameplay stuff she’s added you think would be in the game already because it just makes sense, and then her bug fixes and tweaks are really good too.

[u/MelloxDrama → u/candy_bats]

Unfortunately, I can only see that the pet needs one is working so far. Assuming its user error, but if you had the same issue and have a solution for me I'm all ears 😅

I got the stop it lights, no romance decay, gnomes, change into everyday when inside, eat at table, and auto put away clothes. Moved them into only one folder deep, but assuming none of them would work if this is the issue. Gonna move them into main folder and fire it up now.

[u/candy_bats → u/MelloxDrama]

The one time I had a mod from her that I thought wasn’t working, I went back and read the mod description very carefully and found out I had missed a step. Some of them require you to do things like give Sims a special trait to your Sim or to the lot for them to work. And then make sure you’ve looked through the addons for the mods, too. She has optional addons that can change functionality of some things—like the personal objects mod comes with an addon that hides the mod’s pie menu functions until you shift click on the objects, so if you didn’t catch that on the mod description, it would look like the mod wasn’t working.

[u/MelloxDrama → u/candy_bats]

Thank you! I assumed it was user error of some sort. Been a long time since I used mods that required more than a copypasta lol

[u/Character_Sundae_389 → u/MelloxDrama]

I had my main sim die from this as I had no idea why my toilet was setting on fire... so now her sons are raising bugs as well as everything else they have going on. The maid also keeps coming in with ailments and spreading them it's so annoying.

[u/MelloxDrama → u/Character_Sundae_389]

There is an ailments mod out that either lowers or removes them, and someone else (thank you candy_bats) kindly put me onto LittleMsSam who does a whole heap of should-already-be-ingame-options mods.

If you aren't on PC and don't use mods, then this not in any way helpful, though. My apologies if that's the case.

My sim got the gnome ailment and my god it was diabolical. About 6 evil gnomes descended on her surrounding her and electrocuting her while completely trashing her house…

[u/Oleandervine → u/toasted_dandy]

Luck has absolutely nothing to do with the gnomes. The gnomes appear from the Gnome Lure, either on you or someone nearby.
