Easy way to Magical gnomes and are they bugged?

(1/7) > >>

virgali:
My search skills suck but I tried anyway.

*I was wondering what the best strategy is to get the Mysterious Mr. Gnomes? According to Prima the chance of getting one is 6% I believe they are the rarest collectible in the game? Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not sure if the 6% is just for the fishing skill or for other activities like exploring the catacombs.

*I would like a hack that would let you either buy the gnomes or let you set up how high you want the chance to be for your sims to get one. Kind of like what the quadruplets mod did for TS2.

*Is there a magical gnome bug? I also noticed people complaining that their gnome stopped moving. This has happened to me. As soon as I got the gnome it started moving around and changing positions. I moved it back to his original spot a couple of times because he usualy ended up outside the lot and I was scared it would get stolen.

After a couple of times of doing so I noticed it stopped moving. My sim spends a lot of time outdoors, she's got the love the outdoors trait after all and I make sure the camera is focused on her during the times the gnome is supposed to be moving according to prima.

*What triggers the gnome to move? According to prima this happens between 3 and 6 am when your sim is sleeping. I'm pretty sure this is wrong because the gnome moved when my sim was awake and upgrading an appliance in the kitchen.

It's not that rare to get a gnome. I got one on my first trip to the catacombs. Best strategy is to just keep on visiting the graveyard. I'm always daring when presented with a choice in the catacombs, although this may not change the chances.

I suggest you ask for the hack in the AwesomeMod request thread.

Sure your gnome wasn't kicked? Once kicked, it stops moving. I was gutted when my sim came home from work to find Magico face down on the ground :(

Prima Guide was wrong about a lot of things. I wouldn't be suprised if the 3 - 6am thing was total bullshit. My gnome moved throughout the day aswell, even when my camera was on him.

Edited to delete my pointless quotation

virgali:
Well I expect prima to be wrong but I hope it'll at least hint in the right direction or you can discover the truth my experimenting with what prima says. My gnome was kicked AFTER I realised it stopped moving. Since I read here that someone else's gnome started to move again after it got kicked. ???

I have to go now so I'll make an official request tomorrow-ish

I gues I'll just have to kepe on searching the catacombs. I've noticed that doing so during the day almost always end up in bad outcomes while doing so between 12:00 and 05:00 often gives me good results... anyone else notice this or is just me?

I got my gnome in the early hours. You could be right about that.

Renaming your magical gnome demagics it.  :-\
