Garden gnome

An enchanted gnome from The Sims: Makin' Magic.

Not to be confused with Gardening Gnome or Mysterious Mr. Gnome.

Garden gnomes exist in The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2, The Sims 3 and The Sims 4.

The Sims

In The Sims: Livin' Large, gnomes can be crafted at the KraftMatic Woodworking Table. One of the spells in The Sims: Makin' Magic can temporarily bring a garden gnome to life as a gardening gnome, which will take care of plants.

The Sims 2

Gnomes can be purchased as lawn decorations in The Sims 2.

In Nightlife, a guest may attempt to steal a gnome from the lawn, though not when the game camera is focused on them. If the gnome is stolen successfully, any Sim in the household can retrieve it, and it will appear in his/her inventory. Sims in the household where the gnome is being stolen from will yell at the thief if they witness the theft, although they do not appear to be able to stop it.

In The Sims 2 Castaway and The Sims 2: Pets, there is a gnome called "Shifty Sam the garden gnome". In reference to his name, Shifty Sam will appear in different places on the lot when kicked over and left alone long enough, similar to the Mysterious Gnomes of The Sims 3.

The Sims 3

Garden gnomes can be purchased through buy mode. Sims may also find Sleeping Gnome McMulty, an inactive, immobile version of Mysterious Mr. Gnome.

In The Sims 3: Pets, there are garden gnomes in buy mode which can summon animals to a lot. There is a gnome for cats, dogs, and wild animals.

The Sims 4

In The Sims 4: Seasons, the Harvestfest holiday includes an activity called "Holiday Gnomes". During this activity, gnomes will appear around the lot. Sims need to praise them by giving them the right gift. If the player chooses the wrong gift, or if they kick the gnome, they will wreak havoc around the lot. If a Sim attempts to beg for an apology, there is a chance they will be struck by lightning.

When all gnomes in the lot are praised, they will start dropping Seasonal Seeds.

Trivia: The "Upside Down Gnome Decor" can be stacked indefinitely.	Upside Down Gnome Decor	I think if gnomes were real and the intention was to create the greatest amount of discomfort for them within their "I hang out in a garden" career path, placing them eternally on their head in service of the tray on their feet definitely falls within the top twenty. But not number one.	N/E
	Happy Gnomiversary!	Cake? Check. Noise maker? Check. Party hat? Check. Llama's not waking, bunnies freezing, roses budding, and splines reticulating? Check. Doesn't take much more than that to get the party started! >Happy fifteen!	Coffee
	Guardian of the Gnomelaxy	Not to be mistaken for an inhabitant of R'lyeh. This gnome has traveled far and wide to live in peace amongst the other gnomes in your garden.

	Don't Fear the Reagnomper	Once known as Sleve, the Reagnomper, has taken it upon himself to wander the land, searching for the unwanted, the broken, and the discarded gnomes of the lawn'verse. Those he finds he takes back to his home, where he grinds them up, allowing them to find a new recycled existence as a toilet, shower, or potting soil.	Pie

	Bare Essentials Gnome	Stripped of all modern trappings and shorn of any responsibility, the Bare Essentials Gnome is a titillating effigy of the squat Sim form at its most diminutive state. Encased in a grid of decent propriety and ensconced in one's shame, this gnome enters your home as one enters the world - naked.	Toy
