Been playing with a household of 3 Spellcasters in an apt in SM. None of them have or have had the gnome attracting ailment. But.... In 2 sim weeks they have been invaded 3 times by evil or repair and upgrade gnomes. Not especially hard to deal with, just would be nice if there were an explanation. Are they being pranked by Fairies? 🤷♀️
Ok. Went to a restaurant. Repair gnomes appeared. Tracked it down to a waitress.
Now, I'm wondering if the apt neighbors could be causing gnomes to appear in my Sims apartment. Don't know enough about how far away the infected Sim can be. In the restaurant the gnomes seem to roam all over - to where ever there were objects to be upgraded or repaired. No idea.
I think my neighbor has the Greenie Meanie ailment.
I added the Jangs into my game to test out something else. They always seem to be sick.
Not a clue.

Did they ever enter your apartment ?
It might be best if you create a new thread in the bug forum for the specific apartment scenario. Was it your restaurant or a NPC one ?
Does it happen on other community lots ? R-Rentals ? Penthouses ?

Yes, the neighbors do visit. Baako and Billie Jang are goofballs - so come in and make themselves at home. But, I have not observed them in my sims apt while visually sick. Mostly I see them with visual ailments in the lobby or when complaining about the noise.
None of my Sims have gotten sick. Which seems odd. At least one should have a chance of getting an ailment over the 2 sim weeks I've been playing. Especially because they interact with the sick neighbors. I don't have ailments/luck disabled.
The restaurant was NPC owned. I assume that the gnomes invading the restaurant because of a sick waiter was normal for EBN.
This is the first SM apartment I've played since EBN. I haven't played a r-rental setup yet.
I'm not sure what the range is for ailment effects. Apartment and r-rental work differently from normal lots so maybe the effects are spilling into my sims apt from the one next door. Need to do some more playing in a different apt. and some r-rental.
If it keeps happening in other SM apartments or r-rentals, I'll make a bug report.
Adding: It seems to me that when I was playing my test game right after EBN came out, my Sim got some sort of warning about making the gnomes angry. Do gnomes not like Spellcasters using Magic? Do they keep showing up because my Sims use magic. 🤷♀️

No idea about relationships between gnomes and spellcasters. Maybe ask in the discussion forums ?
You could test a non-spellcaster household in san myshuno to see if it happens there too.
