Evil gnomes randomly appeared

I'm not sure why but 2 evil gnomes randomly appeared in my Sims house, destroyed the kitchen, another gnome appeared and all 3 joined forces to destroy the computer room. One of my Sims tried to beg for forgiveness and got electrocuted by lightning :( I could get rid of them by selling them, I just don't understand why they appeared 😭

I have the new nature pack and it was NOT harvestfest.

    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 ?

    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.

    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? 🤷‍♀️

    I have just rage quit Sims for the first time ever because of this. First one gnome came and killed all of my plants and destroyed my home, all electronics and plumbing, and even made my dog sick. I has just harvested a rose bush to begin again with my rose garden and then around five gnomes appearred and destroyed everything that i fixed or replaced. I actually paused the second time, went to build mode and sold them as soon as they appeared, but the damage is already done. It was not harvest fest. My sim has no ailment. And is  completely balanced.  She aspires to be a nature nomad and is studying apothecary. There are no gnomes on my lot. 

    I'm too mad to play it right now. Twice in a row.

  • I believe one of the ailments in the new pack can attract them. Do any of your sims have an ailment?

    To be fair that is actually pretty hillarious, but yeah this seems kinda strange when there isn't an event.
