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 a graveyard, or within Ore when you send it to the smelter to be turned into an Ingot. 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 color. 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. Its unlikely you'll see the little beast sneaking around, but he pops up in all sorts of places that you never put him in. 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.

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.
