I've seen it reported that buying the gnomes doesn't count; you just have to keep working on getting the game to award you each of the four. I don't think I bought a summer one before getting the badge though, so I can't say. I've only ever 'found' the one across all my games; though I have multiples of the other three. My longest running game has all gnomes earned (or stolen, in the case of the World Adventures ones :p ) except the Bling gnome, which no one will give me despite 3 5-star celebs in the family. :'(
Currently suffering from a surfeit of games, so Sims 3 is on hold a bit. Super Mario Odyssey, Sonic Mania, Sonic Forces, Morphite, Skyrim Switch (end of the week), Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon, Xenoblade 2, and not least of all, Sims 4 Cats & Dogs, which is gradually downloading.
That's what I believe is the case. It's why I've never bought them before. I actually remember EA writing that way back when Seasons was released. I've got my seasons set to 7 days so they change quickly. I'm hoping one season I'll get the missing gnomes showing up.
I've not played any other games for years. I do have Sims 4 but just the base game. Also have Sim City but that's on Origin and no Origin on this computer.
I thought I'd keep Origin on my laptop and move my Sims 3 saves to the new PC. Then I can update Origin without worrying about what happens to Sims 3 and might have another look at Sims 4 one day on the laptop.
