[S] [EBN] Gnomes spawning with no harvest fest/ailment

My husband has experienced three incidents where gnomes have invaded his house when it has not been Harvestfest and neither of his Sims have the Gnomes Lure Ailment. Each time they come, they drop trash everywhere and break nearly everything around them.

After each of these events he is then unable to fix items that are broken (the sim looks to be doing the repair animation but it never repairs) and has to replace them or if they were not broken, his Sims become obsessed with cleaning them but the animation to clean never stops.

He is playing on Xbox and owns every pack/kit with all installed. Dust Bunnies is turned off.

this just started happening to me after d/l'ing Adventure Awaits. I've been getting Gnomes spontaneously appearing and "fixing/upgrading" everything non-stop (i don't want them to do this!) and it's both on my sim's home lot as well as multiple other venues visited (retail, restaurant, custom venue, etc.) The only way to stop them is to put the Gnomes into my Sim's inventory, but more appear when I revisit these other lots. None of the lots have any lot challenges enabled. I play on PS5 so i do not have CC.

I recently purchased "Enchanted by Nature," and gnomes have been appearing very frequently. If a character with the gnome disease is present in the area, a real nightmare occurs on the active lot. This has happened in the high school, the penthouse, the apartment buildings, and other lots. The gnomes either perform positive functions or destroy everything.

It's my first time posting here so I'm not exactly sure if I'm doing this right but I'm having MAJOR problems with the random gnomes that are spawning. My sims have no ailments, and I've disabled spread and imbalance to minimise how often they come up but it still seems like every lot I go to, 2-3 gnomes appear and it's a nightmare. Does anyone know of anyway to stop them?
