Finally got a little napolean gnome. Found him asleep under the flower bush sucking his thumb. Never seen that before.

My sim got abducted by aliens and it frightened the bejebus out of my original Mr Gnome Fred.

Not sure why but all the best poses seem to happen at night.
Still haven't found McCrackernacker or what ever the witch is called. My sims have been through the haunted house so many times. they've been ghostified, just plain fried, vomited and peed themselves in public (a humiliation that spread round the town like wild fire given the sim in question's fame rating) and still no McCrackernacker. I keep trying, even though buydebug is calling me. I may even let my sims do laundry much as I hate it. I hate it in the real world and I hate it in the Sims. It's a chore people not a way to play! :)
