Is there any way to appease the gnomes?

Have you tested all of the available options?

Earlier today I had a Sim plead for forgiveness and it seemed to appease the gnome (he had a halo over him afterwards). I don't usually play with gnomes though so I'm not sure if this is usual or unusual.

Giving them toys works well enough for me. On my lot I usually end up with two good ones and one unhappy one. So they cancel each other out.

If you haven't had a premade Maxis Holiday yet, I think they're enabled for some of them. I do believe you can remove them if you edit the Holiday, tho. It might be just random what gets a good or bad effect, knowing the devs. :D

Oh, and I think kicking them makes them multiply. At least that's how it seemed to me. :p

@Livin inSim - It isn't possible to edit the in-game 'surprise' holidays. I have tried. The only thing I could do was delete the holidays I didn't want my Sims participating in.

Oh, the surprise holidays, I forgot about them. These are a bit different than the ones you see pretty far in advance on the calendar, right? I haven't tried editing any premade holidays yet, but I hope you can do the non surprise ones, anyway. :)

Yes, that's right - the surprise ones just show up on the calendar with an announcement a couple of days in advance. I'm not sure about the advance ones because so far my Sims have managed to get through them successfully. I started in Spring and just moved into autumn. (My game is set for the longest seasons setting because I need to rotate through 21 households and want them all to have at least a day in each season.) :smile:

Thanks for the reply @Jaline33. That must have been when I had the gnomes, the surprise holiday, forget what it was called. Not the Town Brawl, I think that had different effects.

You are welcome! The Town Brawl is one of the ones I deleted - hahaha - with everything else they have to do, brawling with their friends is not exactly a priority. :wink:

Sometimes you have to send another household member over to plead for forgiveness.
