Is there any way to appease the gnomes?

Clearly you're not groveling low enough. The gnomes are demanding masters, and they require our total capitulation. One should not be engaging in frivolous activities, like playing an instrument, playing with you children, cooking, eating, bathing or sleeping when they could be pleading for mercy from the gnomish task masters.

Here’s an unpopular sims opinion: the gnomes are ridiculous, my sims participated last fall season on appeasing them only to see what it’s about and it was ridiculous the amount of seeds they were leaving behind. I’ve destroyed them this recent fall season because I’ve had no time for their absurdity.
Can we remove the gnomes tradition from the official holiday? I never really checked and only know you can cancel the holiday permanently.
