Everyone who played the first line of the Sims game remembers funny magical gnomes who loved to swim in the nectar and helped take care of the garden. In The Sims 3, gnomes have become more mysterious and individual. Each of them is not like the others and knows how to do their own unique things. But keeping track of them is not so easy! It is worth turning away, and the cunning gnome standing on the lawn will move and change his position. Let's follow them and try to find out what is their specialty and what they can do.
Where do gnomes come from?
Well, certainly not from cabbage, and storks do not bring them. But there are plenty of places to find these little tricksters:
In the water (sometimes when fishing, not a fish, or even a rubber duck, but a whole gnome can get caught on a hook)
In the ground (with the help of a drilling rig, you can dig out a lot of things)
In the catacombs (when visiting the mausoleum, sometimes you can return with a new find)
By mail (after sending the stones for cutting with morning mail, not only jewelry can return)
With transglucation (sometimes during transglucation, you can get not quite what you expect)
In the garbage can (if you rummage through the neighbor's garbage, you can sometimes find gnomes there too)
In addition, these ubiquitous creatures can surprise you with their appearance in the most unexpected places:
Sometimes a gnome may appear when casting a snake.
Sometimes, with a low photography skill, a gnome can get into the photo.
At first, you will probably think that the gnomes move only when you are not looking at them. But it's not. They can disappear right before your eyes. It all depends on whether you look at the right time.
Disappearing with a characteristic cotton, they leave pollen from golden stars. After that, the gnomes can change their location and move to any other point on your site.
All gnomes, without exception, love the garden and nature, so if you have vegetables, fruits or trees on your site, the gnomes will be happy to be located next to them.

The peculiarity of this creature is that its activity is manifested mainly at night.

He sneaks up on any other dwarf and after a while turns him into his own kind. That is, the more vampire gnomes you have on the lot, the faster they will turn all the other gnomes into vampires. Probably the most predatory dwarf of all. Believe it or not, one of these vampires even turned a teddy bear into a vampire!
These gnomes, by the way, can fly, and also constantly trample near the bushes with bloody fruits.

Mr Gnome
The Sims 3 All Ages
« The Sims 3 All Ages"touched not only the lives of our wards, but also the lives of magical gnomes, namely Mister gnome. Now you can start your own magical family that will grow, grow old and even die... What do you need for this?
Mr Gnome "Baby"
The Sims 3 All Ages
To begin with, you need to have 2 magical gnomes on your garden plot (more can be, which will significantly increase the chances of a baby appearing on your plot). There is, of course, a small chance that these two will soon have a baby, but if you want to save your time, then you just need to marry or marry one of your wards living on the same site. You will see, replenishment in the magical family will not be long in coming. The appearance of a magical baby is somewhat different from the appearance of children with Sims, here you may not even notice when the baby is born. Like other gnomes, this one appears suddenly - just "Poof!", And he is already nicely napping on your site.
Mr Gnome "Child"
The Sims 3 All Ages
If you still got a magical baby, then all the most interesting is yet to come - now you can observe the habits and growth of this miracle. If a baby likes to snore quietly in the shade and lazily move from place to place, rarely changing his positions, then when he reaches the age of “child”, he will delight you with his mischievous poses, as well as a special love for electrical engineering. For example, he can turn on the TV whenever he wants. But do not think that adult gnomes leave their children unattended. If earlier the gnomes "scattered" in different directions, now they move in groups. There are, of course, exceptions, but they are extremely few.
Mr. Gnome "Teenager"
The Sims 3 All Ages
Having passed the stage of a mischievous prankster, the gnome becomes a teenager. It is fair to say that the developers created exactly the emo teenager, perhaps thereby trying to draw attention to the problems of adolescence and the difficulties associated with it in all teenagers. After all, it is at this age that all children become vulnerable. You can notice how quickly this gnome's mood changes, either he jumps and smiles, or sits dejectedly in his thoughts, or simply lies face down. After this stage, the gnome acquires the (his usual) appearance of Mr. gnome, already well known to us, in which he can again have offspring.
Mr Gnome "Old Man"
The Sims 3 All Ages
All Sims get old at some point, and gnomes are no exception. Aging, well, or growing up of Mister Gnome occurs even if he is in the Sim's luggage throughout his life, it's sad, isn't it? But, despite his age, the gnome does not stop playing pranks, he can threaten with his cane, expressing his displeasure at the noise, or calmly take a nap in the garden, leaning on the same cane. Gnomes do not grow up in one day or two, their growth is comparable to the time of growing up a Sim. But don't worry, if you want to change the age of the magical gnome, you can simply enter the developer code and hold down the Shift key and click on the gnome. An action panel will appear, on which all ages are written in English, you can choose any, and the gnome will immediately go to this age.
After his death, the magic gnome does not disappear without a trace, a monument remains in its place, which will remind you of him.
Magic gnome "Rex Sobachevsky"
The Sims 3 Pets
This time, the developers of the game decided to move away from stereotypes and replace the gnomes familiar to us that look like miniature men with small animals, such as this dog gnome. This miracle can appear on your site after you have got a dog or if your dog has brought offspring to the family. It is with the advent of puppies in the house that the chance that this gnome will settle on your site increases. The gnome is very inquisitive about almost everything, he is like another pet in the house, although your sims cannot interact with him "there are only a few interactions, just like with ordinary gnomes."
Magic gnome "Kotofey Kotofeevich"
The Sims 3 Pets
Another pet gnome, a cute cat, will appear on your site immediately after you get a cat in the house, and with the advent of offspring, the chance of this gnome appearing increases. This gnome appears with a ball of thread and is virtually inseparable from it. He does not show much activity, he is mainly carried away by his ball, and the rest of the time he sleeps peacefully, having settled down in the shade under a lettuce bush in your garden.
Magic gnome "Zenyatta"
The Sims 3 Pets
The Zenyatta, or Dwarf Horse, is named after a true horse legend, an American champion Thoroughbred racehorse. It usually appears in the area where there is a horse. There is a chance that this gnome will appear every time the horse licks the salt. Several gnomes may appear at one time. Zenyatta is not indifferent to the plants in your garden, just like the horses themselves. If your horse is training or getting ready for a competition, Zenyatta can mimic your pet and "jump" over the barrier too.
Magic gnome "Ice rabbit"
The Sims 3 Pets
Probably the weirdest gnome in The Sims 3 history. At first glance, it might seem that this white triangle under the gnome's nose is nothing more than a big smile, but it's just a beard, like the rest of the gnomes. This miracle Yudo can appear on your site if your dog barks at a loudly buzzing refrigerator for a long time. This gnome is very inquisitive, he can easily sit down in front of the trash can, go to bed by your refrigerator or parody the way you saddled a horse, sitting on a miniature llama. The facial expressions with which the dwarf takes various poses are simply touching.
All these gnomes can both attract wild animals to your site and scare them away, as you're lucky. And even after the release of the Sims 3 All Ages add-on, your gnomes may become larger over time, of course they will not have miniature children, but magical gnomes in greater numbers are definitely provided to you.

Ladies' man or dwarf singer. Appears before us in all its glory, reminiscent of the appearance of the singer of the 50s. Likes attention and can appear in the inventory of a Sim with a profession of a singer. In addition to his boundless love for the attention of others, he can influence Sims. If your sim singer during the next performance will take this gnome out of his luggage and put it nearby, then both your sim and all the people around him will receive a positive "masterpiece of the melody".

The second season of challenges has started in the network shooter Fortnite Battle Royale. To complete one of them, players need to find several dwarf figurines hidden in certain locations of the island. Finding all 7 figurines at once is quite difficult, so we decided to simplify this task for you by indicating the location of all the hidden gnomes in the game.
Why do you even need to look for these gnomes? If you complete this and 3 more similar challenges, you will be rewarded with some rare in-game item. In addition, these figurines start to laugh terribly when you are near them. Therefore, if you hear a strange laugh, then immediately start looking for the gnome.
Head to the Sloppy Crossing area. The gnome lies inside a large building located in the middle of the location. You can find it near the vending machine.
You can find him in Lucky Landing. It is hidden inside a building located in the northeast corner of the area. Look for it in the bathroom.
If you wandered into the Lands of Anarchy, then be sure to look for a gnome figurine in a large farmhouse located in the north of the location. Upon entering the building, turn left and enter the living room. The gnome is behind the old TV.
Go to the farm and find a dilapidated shack there, standing next to two silos located in the south of the location. Then find a haystack. Destroy it with a pickaxe and take the gnome.
Once in the right location, go to a large dilapidated house located on the south side of the road (several trees fell on it). Go inside and look for the gnome under the stairs.
The next grumpy gnome can be found in a pizzeria. Head to Pomidorovka and then enter the local pizzeria from the back entrance. Turn right and go through the door to the office. You will find the figurine in the left corner, behind the table.
In parallel with the development of the main plot, secondary tasks will begin to appear on the global map. One of the longest and most tiring quests in Fable 3 is the "Dwarfs be damned!" quest. It begins with a heartfelt conversation with Brian in the courtyard next to Brightwall Academy, where the Hero will arrive in search of a music box for Sabin. An unlucky collector will talk about his hobby, show his collection of gnomes and ask to deliver a small package that was lost along with the caravan in the Khmar Valley (task "Long live the gnomes!"). The found box will contain a stone gargoyle. After Brian reads the magic words, she, thanks to magic, will revive all the gnomes, endow them with the gift of speech. Taking advantage of the opportunity, foul language will disperse to all the cities of Albion. While the collector writes an angry letter to the gargoyle manufacturer, the Hero has to find and return 50 fugitives. It is important to remember that when approaching the gnomes, they begin to taunt, call names and tease. This helps to locate them. When the target is found, you need to shoot at it with a firearm: a pistol, a shotgun or a rifle (key), since cold weapons or magic cannot reach them. An aimed shot will make the gnome return to Brian, to his rightful place. The task should be completed along with the search for silver and gold keys, since the habitats of the dwarves intersect with the places where the keys are stored.
For completing the quest "Dwarfs be damned!" in Fable 3, several rewards are given: 40 Guild Seals, the "Gnomicide" achievement, a unique weapon - the "Gnomolder" pistol, as well as several small items. The task is not limited in time, it is available both during the main story and after it. Some locations where the dwarves hide are inaccessible without completing other secondary tasks. Data on the number of gnomes can be found by hovering a magnifying glass over a city on the global map (key [M]).
