The gnomes are terrifying.
Fall was the first season I experienced in my game, so during my first Harvestfest, the gnomes showed up. I already knew I wouldn't like them because I disliked gnomes in Sims 3 showing up in random places and I just had a feeling I would dislike them here too. I decided to try it out anyways before deleting the tradition and I gave little gifts to the gnomes. The first gnome liked his gift and I got all excited because two more gnomes showed up so I made my two sims give each one a gift. The third gnome liked his gift that the female sim gave it, but the second gnome hated his gift that the husband gave, so it electrified the guy by sending a lightning bolt to strike him. Luckily, he didn't die so I cleaned him up and made him apologize for the fruitcake but the gnome didn't accept the apology. I got so annoyed that he tried killing my sim, so I made his pregnant wife kick the gnome. (I figured she was pregnant so she'd be immune to death and the gnome's shenanigans).
Turns out, they ALL got really angry and a bunch of gnomes started showing up all over the lot. They began breaking items and every time the wife cleaned anything, they'd make even more of a mess. To top it all off, in the middle of them destroying everything and creating puddles and piles of trash, the female sim went into labor. Also, a message appeared when trying to click 'Appease the Gnomes', saying "Lily has angered the gnomes. The Gnome High Council will now pass judgement on the gnome-kicking monster". So, basically the female sim couldn't apologize or reverse her actions. When they got back from the hospital, a fire started. It was intense. I ended up having to delete them all from the lot. I didn't know how else to get rid of them or make them happy again.
So lets just say my first Harvestfest experience was RUINED because of these gnomes (and their creepy heads on fire) destroying everything in my house....... :unamused: :expressionless: :rage:
