Enchanted by Nature Randomly Upgraded Toilets?

So I got the new pack and some pack interactions are giving me a huge problem. I have both eco lifestyle & the new enchanted forest pack. 

Something keeps upgrading my toilets. I think it has to do with gnomes? And my sims are constantly sick and throwing up multiple times per day. As such, the toilets are therefore constantly bursting into flames. 

 I can't un-upgrade the toilets. I have to keep purchasing new, different toilets, which is quite pricy because they are constantly being mysteriously re-upgraded by some mystical force. 

I can't stop them from being sick 24/7 because apparently everything makes them sick and even if you turn it off in pack settings, it says your sim will still get sick sometimes. And since everything and everyone around them makes them sick, they indeed do get sick, regardless, without relief.

I really really really do not want to have to raise bugs for compost... my sims can barely keep up with their lives considering they spend so much time being sick and cleaning up after toilet fires, and spend so much money buying new toilets. 

So is there anything I can do?

On a side note, just to vent--Dang I miss my mods. I took them all out prior to the patches & cleaned everything up & reinstalled to be like new so there would be no clashes, I'm just trying to give modders a chance to make their updates & new mods to fix the glitches. This game takes our  money and releases glitched and broken and poorly thought out packs to the point where it is so unplayable without mods. They should seriously hire the modders, they are way better at programming and patching then people working for TS4.

  • One more problem I'm looking for help with. Something (gnomes I think?) keep upgrading my toilets. My sims keep running to the toilets to puke, and because I have Eco Lifestyle, the toilets keep bursting into flames. I keep having to buy new toilets without upgrades, but the same mystical force upgrades them again without my permission. 

    This was annoying enough with Eco Lifestyle when guests and roommates randomly upgrade the toilets... now it's insufferable. They need to give us a way to check toilets so they cannot be upgraded to composting containers, or give us toilets that cannot be upgraded. 

  • Me too!!!

    My sims caught fire yesterday using the restroom. All items are upgraded by the sim I am playing. The first skill they max is handiness. However, the Don’t Fear the Reagnomper gnome with a halo was repairing (nothing needed to be repaired) and upgraded my toilet to include compost. I have ALL packs for Sims 4 but this is annoying. I had to pause, reset my sim, and put the fire out mid air over the toilet. 

    Thank God I had testingcheats on. I never upgrade this part of the toilet unless I have a game with sims that is totally off-grid and gardening using the insects. This also happen with auto upgrade as well which is why I never choose the option either.

    Yes I play with and without mods. I have tested with and without mods was able to have it happen. I not a fan of gnomes (as they creep me out), but it would be great to have a way to turn them off.

    I've tried appeasing them whether they're good / evil and it doesn't matter. There is no way to control them. Evil gnomes have showed up on the lot and set my sims garden on fire even with good gnomes on the lot supposedly protecting. And on top of that she had to pay to restore each of the plants. My sims have very big gardens so it was costly.  At this point, I'm just destroying them all good or evil when I hear the music that a gnome appears.

    I just want to play my game. But lately it just seems like every time I can find the time to play, one thing fixed and three things are broken. I just want to relax and play my game.

    Sorry for venting just a long week and this is another thing to frustrate me.

    Hi.

    I have been playing Enchanted by Nature and I keep getting the gnome ailment which spawns repair/upgrade gnomes. These little guys are great- but they keep blowing up my toilet because I also have the Eco Lifestyle pack and they keep switching it to biofuel behind my back. I've had 2 sims die from flaming poop and it is incredibly irritating to throw away and buy a new toilet every time they come around. 

    Please, is there any way to stop them from "repairing"  a bomb into my house? Or a way to remove that upgrade specifically since I don't want it and its explosive problems?

    Help.
