@Cynth220 Yeah, I know about buydebug, and I use it to replace the ghost or Voltron gnomes if I forget to age them back down before they die. Aside from that, though, I'm trying to get them all the 'proper' way, although I've buydebugged a few into suitable community lots (French gnome at the bakery, sculpting gnome at the art studio). I'll admit I'm about ready to give up on Bling gnome; I've got the two 5-star celebs and haven't gotten a single gift since then of any sort. But I'm trying to be good. Maybe I'll stick one elsewhere in town and see if that'll 'encourage' the game; I finally got a couple of sculpting gnomes after adding one to town - but both were from the miner!
Thanks for the reminder about buydebug, though, someone passing through the thread might find it useful.
@Karritz I made the dive lot myself, so I know it has a chance of gnomes. But I think that's the chest my Sim isn't high skill enough to open yet. I didn't want to make it too easy for myself :D
