Here are my latest gnomes. The 3 on left I got from fishing in the well, and the vampire gnome I got by planting 7 plasma friuts. She turned a bear into a vampire gnome but I gave myself an error code 12 from bouncing here and there, buymode and simporting like crazy. I only lost one sim day because I've saved frequently. It turned out well because my sim needed a pink heart-shaped diamond she found at the consingnment store. It wasn't there before. :P Anywho, thanks for all your advice, Karritz. Oh, and for the laundry bear, I removed all the clothes hampers from the house, then as I did laundry for the next few days, he showed up. I want at least two of everything. I'm collecting one of each gem including it's dust. The tiberium heart- shaped gem and dust breaks off like the spiral one does. :D
I work the next two nights so I won't play until Saturday evening. But I may be able to lurk around here and respond. I'll get DV then too. woot! :P
