#I am honestly tempted to edit the holiday to get rid of the gnomes

[victorluvsalice]

Because, well, even just ONE angry gnome out of three (they managed to get it right with the third one that appeared) will fuck your shit up, it appears. No matter where that little bastard went, stuff either broke or got dirty -- or both! I had Marty and Jennifer apologize about five times, and they just kept getting zapped for their trouble. I was just about at the point of saying “SCREW IT KICKING PARTY” when Marty was FINALLY able to get the gnome in question to chill. Which, honestly, is probably for the best, as kicking a gnome gets all of them pissed off at you and even MORE stuff broken/filthy. I have enough shit that needs fixing and cleaning now, thank you.

Despite the gnome shenanigans, though, it was a good holiday for the family. I discovered Sims could send thank-you cards to get up their Thankful Spirit (also a tradition), so I had Jennifer send one over to Wheatley. Hey, dude literally delivered her second child -- that deserves a card, doesn’t it? Emmett also happened to walk by (in a Maxis Disaster outfit -- the game chooses the WEIRDEST outfits for the Sims I’m not playing, I swear), and Marty invited him in to share in the big family meal, which he accepted. I was going to OFFICIALLY invite both him and Nikal over, but then I got distracted by evil gnomeage. Ah well, at least he got to be thankful and have a good turkey dinner with his best friends.

The most important part of the day was yet to come, however. . .
