Gnome in the box... Or should I say out the box?!

Prev1
My gnome has excaped! And I can't find the little ****! I have been searching for days! My question is..... Does he move around my town, all this time, or is he still in one place? .... Maybe just hiding behind a building/tree/object? How do I find him?

  • He's watching you though the camera of your device making sure you're been good this year.

    Oh yeah.....I'll give him a reason to watch me, if I find him, he's going to regret it! Straight into inventory! I been searching for days. I usually never have a problem finding his tiny little self! He has to be in one spot, just sitting there. I've tried hi-lighting everything, but he is not showing up. He was accidentally let out, of that box!
  • Mine is in the box right now after I took him out of storage. In fact I don't recall ever seeming him out of the box when its not during the xmas event....off season he stays in.

    He was accidentally tapped on.... I tried putting his empty box in storage for awhile. It showed him in the box, but when I put his box back in my town, it is still empty! Any suggestions on where he might be hiding? Where he likes to hang out?
  • Been a while but I think he is always on the roads.

    Thanks....I will check again, but I checked everywhere. I should see him if he is on the road. I appreciate your reply.
  • turn off everything but characters in seek and destroy mode. Should find him that way. Or cant you just store the box/home and then take it out again. would think he would be in the box again.

    I tried those...... I tried storing him in inventory, & took it back out, it didn't work. I am just going to leave him fin for his self! Thank you for the advice & reply, hatchet669.
  • Mine has been out all summer. Maybe he will come back when it gets colder and snows.
  • What the... my gnome box was empty too. I found him passed out behind the mall.

    @MildaMay Try storing his box, go to KL and back, and then take it back out?

    He doesnt look to good, maybe you should take him to see a doctor.

    I took the needle out of his arm. He just needs to sleep it off.

  • This may seem drastic but it works. Set one square of roadway out in the open. Then go around your town and remove every other piece of roadway. After removing the roadway go to a friends town or (shutter) Krustyland. I know, that sounds like a lot of work. But it works.
    Then either store the box or put out all by itself.
    I know that you will have to place new roadway. I know that takes time. But it will also give you impetus to redesign sections of your town. Or replace the roadway with pavement so you can put cars on it wherever you want.
  • If you are going delete every square of road instead you could zoom in a little and scan every square of road, like I did.

    No, that don't work, either.

    I tried that too, he is no where to be found.

    That's what I am thinking!... Mine has been in his box all summer, but I accidentally tapped his box, but got him back into it, then a few weeks later I accidentally tapped his box again, letting him out, but this time I didn't follow him, & now he is nowhere in site or out of site. I did everyone's suggestions & nothing worked! He should be seen when I hi lighted everything, even the roads, except the characters. He should be bright and easy to see anywhere!
