Why are the Gnomes for the Seasons EP so Scary?

I cant stand the way they just appear and their eyes are glowing. I deleted it from the holiday so it doesn't happen anymore. That is what I am thankful for lol

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:

Here are some screenshots of my lovely first Harvestfest:

The gnomes are our beloved Sim angels...ever ready to strike us down should the sims no longer can appease their Creator. >:)

I think they are a throw-back to Sims 1 mischievous gnomes.

If they are I hate gnomes so I never have them around. In Sims 3 I would never put them out and find one randomly in the yard.

My Sim only had one gnome reject the cake, they repeared in the lounge around the TV and broke it. From 2 to 5 my sim appeased them with the flame and they took it out of her by striking her with an electric shock. The gnomes multiplied, my sim ignored the! But they kept multiplying. My sim got rid of them by kicking them. She had to follow them as after the kick the other gnomes moved round the house.
My sim got rid of them and found cool items in the scavenging. She then disposed of them in the bin.
No more gnomes appeared, but you have to get rid of them in one go, as they multiply.

Am I the only one who thinks they are cute?!!.

Some of the gnomes look cute and cuddly but be careful if your sim appeases them with fruit, cakes and toys. I shall let my sim investigate these gnomes further. I managed to get one accept gifts.

I wish I had known. I could've gotten cool items from scavenging. There were so many and I just deleted them all LOL

My Sims got thunder strikes, not once, but twice, when they gave them wrong gifts. Now, the Gnomes are locked up in the Greenhouse with my bees. Is there death because of Gnome revenge?

There is no death like that...yet.
