Why are the Gnomes for the Seasons EP so Scary?

I am to scared to even add them.

I had two pop up on a retail lot, made one happy and tried to appease the other. Now they keep giving mass quantities of seed packets, like Euripides67 posted above. :open_mouth: Maybe I'll just set them up for sale...

To me these gnomes are not creepy. I just managed to appease them and all went well. They left me tons of seasonal seeds as gifts so I don't have to buy any. I just moved them to my inventory when the holiday was done.

I don't know what to play with since we got Seasons but decided I needed to play with gnomes a little.. Decided to hide it for those ascared of gnomes and clowns.

I really don't get the fright from this stuff but I'll be nice today.

I ended up using them, and then discovered the seed packet gifts. Wow! I started a thread about this. My teenage girl is going to be a gardener, so these packets are an amazing start!

Got past the creepiness of gnomes hanging out around my Sims bed and such and just realize they're more so obnoxious in wanting donations and charity for them. Gnomes don't appreciate my coffee or fruitcake. :neutral:

Torn between this being hilarious and terrifying. I'm not really scared of clowns. Just the gnomes hanging around my sims bed while they sleep can be unsettling like 'WAKE UP AND GIVE AN OFFERING TO YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR THE GNOMES.'

Even worse if the bed is in use for other purposes. Here I was thinking having the cat or dog watching was bad.

Hm, I've played way past Fall, and on one particular lot they are still standing in a group, no longer moving about, but still gifting the owner en masse! In fact, I was planning that the owner could probably make a nice extra incom based on these gnomes... Wonder if their gifting features is meant to last a full year, and will go away next Fall?

If I use the gnome lot trait (the one that fixes broken objects), then, the new gnome gameplay won't occur? Is that right?
