[COL] Excessive gnome gifts

Hi Kamricorn​ 

you say they are not enchanted. Does that mean they just spawn those things from being around ? How did you get the gnomes ?

Also, did you test this on fresh save that never had mods/cc in ?

All I ever got from gnomes are seed packets

Even them upgrading/repairing stuff didn't leave upgrades parts (although I might be remembering that wrong)

Do you have Cottage Living? I know if you befriend Agatha and she visits, she'll go 'talk' to the gnomes and after she leaves they will move around for a while and drop things like Cottage Living oversized seeds, base game seed packets, upgrade parts and those debug mushrooms that don't actually grow into anything. I've had this happen after she visits many times and if that's what you are experiencing, I'm pretty sure it's by design, but if not, then it could be different.

Best regards,
Jennifer

Those mushrooms are so annoying! I thought they were going to turn into something interesting, a hidden extra mushroom or something, but no, they just sit there being broken mushroom plants.

MapleSimmer​ Interesting. Changing tag to COL I guess :D

I wonder if this one is related: [EBN] Invisible Debug Shroomie Buddies spawning on lot | EA Forums - 12350203 

This did not start happening until I got EBN. There are gnomes everywhere. At high school, the club, just everywhere. However, at home is where the big nightmare is happening and I am not going to spend time cleaning it up so I don't know what is going to happen as it gets worse and worse it seems.

I do not have gnome trait on my lot so I do not understand why they keep coming. 

Edit: Someone pointed out that a gnome lure ailment could cause it but none of my sims have any ailments. 

crinrict​ Yes, they just spawn those things while sitting around. I got them from making them on the woodworking table and from previous harvestfests. And I've never used mods or cc on this particular save.

MapleSimmer​ Yes I do have cottage living and I have befriended Agatha. So that might be it! I had deleted all the gnomes off my lot since this got annoying but I'm adding them back in from the store to see if I can catch Agatha doing this.

Kamricorn​ I remember being very surprised that my gnomes were moving around (this was shortly after Cottage Living came out) since it wasn't a holiday with the gnome tradition. I think I may have researched it and found the connection to Agatha so I invited her back over and watched her and saw her go interact with the gnomes while visiting and then it happened again (the gnomes moving around and dropping gifts). Though Agatha doesn't always interact with the gnomes when visiting, so it doesn't always happen but I think it happens more often than it doesn't. 

I do find the gnomes eventually stop moving and dropping the 'gifts', and has been my experience when I've recently had it happen (I actually purposely befriend her and invite her over to get the gifts, though the debug mushrooms are pretty useless!). I had never tried putting them into my sims' personal inventory, but I know when I do that with the appeased 'Harvestfest' gnomes they never stopped dropping seed packets into the family inventory until I remove them (and either sell them or have another holiday with the gnome tradition, you can manually add that to any holiday, it doesn't just have to be Harvestfest), so perhaps the same thing happens here? 

Best regards,
Jennifer
