I've created a new vanilla TS4 folder. Going to move a copy of my Spellcaster family into the same SM apt and see what happens. Will move them around to different apts and some multi-family r-rentals, as well. Also testing with a new non-occult family following behind on the same route. Someone who looks through code could probably figure this out faster, but I'm just a field researcher.
I'm kinda leaning towards this being a plague brought on by an NPC. I traveled to my sims retail lot with the infected waitress and - tho it took a while - the evil gnomes did show up. Seems like if an infected sim were lingering near - but not on - a played lot, then only place they have to appear is the played lot. Is that a bug or just to be expected? Not a clue.
I don't know.
Personal opinion:
- If they appear on community lots: Probably intended. I know I had them spawn in the Naturopath career when ill Sims came over.
- If they appear your apartment when the NPCs did not enter you lot: I would report that as bug.
