[EBN] Gnome Ailment way too much.

I turned balance/imbalance off but I still get the ailments daily without being about to stop the last one. I got the gnome ailment just now, which lasts 2 in game days. These gnomes break every single appliance in the house, spread trash piles everywhere, and even set things on fire. I had so many things break that I left the lot out of frustration and when I came back, I had 3 fires in 1 irl minute. This then extended to 7 fires in 3 irl minutes. That is way too often, especially since there doesnt seem to be a way I can get the gnomes to stop. They break things before the last 2 in game hour moodlet goes away and then set fire to everything. I cant even unpause the game right now because I know the second I do, I'll have an eighth fire. I have spent $10k simoleons replacing everything because it ALL breaks too often to repair it or even attempt to.

Update: I unpaused it and an eighth happened. Then immediately as soon as it went out, a 9th and 10th happened. My sim is about to die to her needs because she cant do anything but put out fires and all of her appliances are broken constantly.

  • Gnomes break or set things on fire when they are unhappy. You can appease them to make them happy by offering them fruitcake or other things they like. 

  • It's annoying, I've been playing a new save, and my sim gets an ailment every single day. I wish we could turn them off.

  • National cake for disruptive Gnomes all over the world: 

    Fruitcake...so fitting for these mischievous beings...Gnomes are were Clowns come from.
