My sims live in the new&nbsp;Chestnut Ridge world, on the 20x20 lot in the middle. I added the gnomes lot trait to help with all the prone-to-break stuff they have. The problem is, I haven't gotten the info that the game usually gives you about gnomes, and gnomes never repair anything.&nbsp;

No mods or cc
I have completely reinstalled the game in May 2021

Edit By Crinrict:&nbsp;Added Tag to Title. Please add pack tags yourself. Thank you.

@Sozki  Did you test if they work in apartments and other lots ?

sozki · Answer

I'll move my sims soon onto another lot in the same neighborhood and I'll see.

@Sozki&nbsp; Maybe also make sure the entire household is asleep at midnight? Not sure about the gnomes, but the opposite trait, the gremlins that break things, only applies if no one’s awake on the lot at midnight.

@PipMenaceCould horses that are awake at night cause gnomes not to work? Haven't had an opportunity to test yet on a new lot (nothing's broken yet), but I did (and do) have horses that might have been awake during nights.

@Sozki I did some testing and stuff didn't get repaired for me either but I have 5 Sims in the family and it was a bit tough to have them all at sleep at midnight (especially since all shower and toilet were broken :D)
