Magic gnome

Mysterious Mr. Gnome is a special item found in The Sims 3.

You can find this unique garden gnome when your sim chooses to "Explore The Catacombs" at the graveyard, within Ore or Gems when you mail them to their respective refiners, through fishing, or as an 'acquisition' from being promoted in the thief career.

The Mysterious Mr.Gnome is nameable, has an orange hat with a yellow star shaped flower on it with a brown center, a long gray beard, blue button down shirt and red pants and shoes of an odd brown-tan colour. The Mysterious Mr.Gnome is kickable, like any gnome, but unlike your regular garden gnome he cannot be cloned with the eyedropper tool, and has a habit of sneaking around your house. You will never see the gnome sneaking around, but he pops up in all sorts of places that you never put him in. If you're really, really lucky you'll actually see him pop from one position to another. If kicked, he falls in odd positions that you would never expect from a gnome, and when picked up, is known to float on air, do hand stands and assume other theatrical positions.

Even if you build walls without a door around him, The Mysterious Mr. Gnome will still pop up anywhere outside.

If you have a high level sim in the science career track, you can perform a scientific experiment on Mysterious Mr. Gnome.

It appears that despite his happy nature of running around your lot, this Gnome, like all others, has nothing at all to do with your garden.

The Mysterious Mr. Gnome is worth §1,000.
