Sims 3 Things you didn't know!

I don't know if it's been said before, but since I'm currently playing with an inventor it's helping me right now. Occasionally an inventor or sculptor will make a magical gnome of inventing/sculpting, mostly if not always when using either "invent" or "sculpt" (as in, sculpt something random). The gnomes function much like the others in the game (teleporting to clean up a puddle, turn on the TV or stereo, remove a weed from a plant, etc.), but these two gnomes have one other ability—they can also finish making an item that your sim leaves alone for the night. When my sim first makes one, I place it on top of the workbench or sculpting station, and there's maybe a 75% chance that when it teleports away, the item under construction will be complete and moveable (sculptures) or 99% complete (inventions). Once let loose, the gnome will occasionally come back and do it again, although I'm not sure there's any way to control it.
