everything suddenly breaking on my lot

i don’t know if this is a glitch or just REALLY annoying feature but literally everything in my bathroom will suddenly break! this happens probably once per in game day and it’s really annoying, i’ve got enchanted my nature so thought it was evil gnomes but i can’t see any on my lot and i was wondering if maybe my ranch hand has something to do with it because i got horse ranch at the same time as enchanted by nature and hired one and then this has started happening - as of today the issue followed my sim kids to camp with the new pack and it’s making my legacy save of 10+ gens unplayable!
