Every Harvestfest at exactly 6am, any gnomes on your Sims’ lot magically come to life and begin teleporting to random spots throughout the house. If your Sims don’t have any gnomes, three new gnomes will spawn on the lot and start teleporting around. Why? Well, one of the holiday traditions for Harvestfest is to Appease the Gnomes. Here’s everything you need to know about how to appease the gnomes Sims 4!

Appease the Gnomes Sims 4… Or Else!

The gnomes may seem cute and silly but they are fickle creatures. Each type of gnome only wants a specific gift. Give them the right gift and they’ll bless your Sims with seed packets (which are quite valuable even if you’re not a gardener, so you might want to sell them). Give them the wrong gift, however… and they’ll be very angry! Angered gnomes will wreak absolute havoc on your home by breaking appliances and starting fires!

Gnome Gift Guide

The good news is, once you know every gnome’s favourite Harvestfest gift, you’ll be able to appease them easily every Harvestfest and collect all those useful and/or valuable seed packets! You’ll also save your home from certain disaster.

All the gnomes will accept a couple different gifts but they each have a “best” gift. For optimal seed packets and absence of chaos, always give them the best gift. It’s easy to do since you always get to choose from a selection of gifts to give them regardless of whether you actually have the item on hand or not.

You’ll know whether you’ve successfully appeased a gnome or not by the effect the gnome gets. A halo will appear over the heads of gnomes that have been appeased. Gnomes who have been angered by an offering they dislike will have flames above their head… and if that happens, get ready for multiple things in your house to break.

The next time the Harvestfest gnomes show up on your lot, make sure to reference this list so you can appease the gnomes Sims 4 every single time! Get those precious seed packets and spare your home from being ruined at the same time.

Get Rid of the Gnomes For Good

Do the gnomes creep you out? We don’t blame you. They are pretty creepy, especially once you know what they’re capable of. They also seem to love teleporting around bassinets and infant cribs and surrounding your little one in a creepy gnome cult circle for… some reason? Again. Creepy.

If you have no interest in knowing how to appease the gnomes Sims 4 and just want them gone, there’s two ways you can accomplish that. You can either delete the Harvestfest holiday from the calendar, or, if you still want to celebrate Harvestfest without the gnomes involved, you can edit the Harvestfest holiday and delete the gnomes tradition. Just open the calendar and look at the Harvestfest options in the left sidebar to delete or edit this holiday.

Gnomes Forever!

But hold on! The gnomes aren’t so bad, are they? After all, it’s not hard to appease them once you know what they like and you can make a pretty penny off of the seed packets they give you. Is there a way you can appease the gnomes Sims 4 every single day for easy money? Why, yes! Yes, there is!

All you need to do is open up the calendar and create a holiday on every single day of the week. Then set the gnomes tradition as a tradition for that holiday. Presto! Magical gnomes poofing around your house every single day blessing you with seed packets!
