Magic gnome



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

This unique garden gnome can be found when a Sim chooses to "Explore The Catacombs" at the graveyard, by activating the irreversible transfiguration on Carter's Display Case - XL Edition, as a random event while fishing, within Ore or Gems when they mail them to their respective refiners, or as an 'acquisition' from being promoted in the Criminal 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 color. The Mysterious Mr.Gnome is kickable, like any gnome, but unlike a regular garden gnome he cannot be cloned with the eyedropper tool, and has a habit of sneaking around the house. The player will never see the gnome sneaking around, but he pops up in all sorts of places that he was never put in. If really, really lucky he can be seen popping from one position to another.He changes place on the lot at about 1:00 a.m.. If kicked, he falls in odd positions that are unexpected from a gnome and sometimes ends up with a plaster across the bridge of his nose, and when picked up, is known to float on air, do hand stands and assume other theatrical positions.

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

A high level Sim in the science career track can perform a scientific experiment on Mysterious Mr. Gnome.

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

The Mysterious Mr. Gnome is worth §1,000 and is quite a funny fellow to have in a house at night.

Master Manchu, Little Leon and Sultan Sam are all different magic gnomes with the same abilities found in World Adventures.

The Mysterious Mr. Gnome has been spotted in the vicinity of the following mysterious happenings:


 * Flushing Toilet
