Renaming your magical gnome demagics it.  :-\


I think this must be true. One of my One Fambly's four Gnomes is in its original position, never kicked, never moved. I gave it a name and it has never been magical. :(

I have 12 gnomes on my fambly lot, they were all named upon acquisition, and still moved up to three times before half of them congregated in the garden in front of the Grim statue that I added via the add to fambly inventory cheat.

My gnomes won't budge unless I kick their shortasses, and even then it's rinse and repeat if I want a different pose. It doesn't matter if I've renamed them or not, or have the camera pointed at them for over a week.


According to the Prima Guide (take with a big grain of salt) gnomes move when you're not looking at them.  I took the "looking at them" part to mean when the camera is not focused on them.

Like most things in the Prima Guide, that is utter BS. In my 20 gnome household, I placed them all in my default camera view. They moved from that point.

Plum:
My gnome (who I named upon acquisition) went outside on his own, was promptly kicked over by the mailman, and then moved when my Sim picked him up--as in, he moved not only while I was looking at him, but while my Sim was holding him. He hasn't moved in the few days since then though.

There are no consistencies! The man on the grassy knoll was, in fact, a gnome!

Not in my game, it doesn't. I had my sim name her gnome right away, and it still moved periodically, though it did stop after about a week, sim time, and then I sold the bugger.

IgnorantBliss:
I had three magical gnomes on a lot, of which at least two moved around at first, one of them several times, but then it stopped and none of them moved for several sim weeks. Two of them were kicked at some point, but I'm not sure if they moved after that or not. In any case, it seems, most of the time they stay still and only move, seemingly, randomly.
