Just noticed, that after my paperboy kicked my non-working gnome, and I stood him back up, the gnome started his hijinks later on that night. So obviously the old saying "He needs a kick in the pants to get him moving" really is true.
I already Kicked all of them several times and stood them back up, they're still stiff frozen. Thanks for the suggestion though :) I will kick them like 5 times in a row each just to be sure. Since you had that non-moving glitch too i wonder if they're just borked. Or maybe the RLD version is the culprit since they already had stopped moving before changing it for the Razor one. I will have to get new gnomes to test anew.
Looks like my solution wasn't the best. After the first night of my gnome moving again, he never moved again. Now I'm starting to doubt even my own memories. I also tried kicking him several times, and no go. I'll wait on that paperboy to autonomously do his thing again (my NPC's are weird - the paper boy sat on the outside couch a couple of times and the mailman sat at one of the outside computer stations and logged onto the interwebs - tho they both only did it for about a minute or so before leaving).

GayJohnScarritt, it does seem we have a bug here. Their movement shouldn't logically rely on newspaperboys' kicks, but i'll check anyway. You never know with EA. Too bad as it's the creepiest and funniest thing i ever saw in any game.
I too had a funny thing with the mailman: i forgot to pay the old bills and they were left in the mailbox. He pulled them out of the mailbox, throwed them angrily on the lawn, pointed at them with a raging finger and shouted something like 'Nananana!". ;D He then put the new ones in the mailbox and went his merry way.

Ok, I've been playing the Arr'ed game for a few hours. The problem that I was most bugged by is the stupid, stupid paths they take. My Sim decided she had to walk out to the corner of the yard to play guitar. And my Sim couple felt the need to both go outside in order to get to the back of the house. And woe betide any Sim that has to go around another Sim in its path - there is plenty of space, but they cannot seem to figure out that one of them needs to move over. *grrr*
I know that this is a known annoyance, like the dreaded baby hoard (since I actually read all 76 pages before I posted) - but it still really bugs me. I'm glad that the No Censor Hack was already up by the time I finished downloading this - I fear the stupid mosaic that tried to eat my Sims when they bathe.
[Edited to Add:]There are somethings about the game that I do like. The moodlets are cute, and amuse me. I really like the traits, and how they effect the ways that Sims learn and act (though I do hope that these are someday tweaked to be...awesome). I really like the fish bowl, and how I could just put a live fish in. The water takes good advantage of my spiffy new graphics card, and many of the other graphics are quite nice (even if almost all of them were just ripped out of the Sims 2). The trees are kind of clever, but I wonder if real, full meshes would make the game that much slower. I haven't had that difficult of a time making Sims with a minimum of double chins - but I would like it a lot if it were possible to allow some of the Sims to have single chins. Not everyone looks like this guy:

Can we still drop custom paintings into a Paintings folder and have sims paint them at higher skill levels?

If we can, I'm going to do the same thing for TS3 that I did for TS2 - in TS2 I took a bunch of high-res screenshots and shooped them into appearing like "simlish" watercolour portraits that sims could paint, so that we'd have simlish artworks that didn't look like total ass. I'll do that for TS3 again and make them available, given that my TS3 looks pretty shiney on my graphics card.
