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, as a random event while fishing, 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 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 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.

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


 * Flushing Toilet
 * Stereo turning on
 * Watching T.V.
 * Sleeping under a shade tree
 * Inside the Fridge
 * Pointing at death plant with look of fear on it's face
 * Sitting on bar (probably getting drunk and enjoying the view)
 * Dancing in front of money trees (stereotypical Russian dance pose)
 * Sitting on a fountain bench
 * Leaning over in front of a barbeque grill
 * Appearing beside a bed that a sim is asleep in
 * Sunbathing on an island in the middle of a pool
 * Kissing another gnome
 * Making silly faces at a fish in a fish bowl

Also, though it has not been confirmed, you can have multiple Mr. Gnomes. I fished up Mr. Gnome in my pond once. A couple days later I was exploring the Catacombs in the Graveyard. I also found a Mr. Gnome in there. Now I have two, I'm trying to collect more. Try looking and using all techinques to obtain him. He's worth 1,000 Simoleans and is quite a funny fellow to have in your house at night. I also found my first Mr. Gnome leaning over the swimming pool, but I don't know if anyone else has. He has done a hand stand, a type of dancing pose and is leaning forward action. Like the Mr. Bean dance, quite amusing. I caught him in these positions when I kicked him over and stood him back up and he stood like that. Try these and I'm quite sure it'll work, good luck!

He also appears on pictures you made in World Adventures.
