Gnomophobia VS OCD

[☼ꀯꈼ꒒ꈼꇘ꓅ꂑꁲ꒒]

Hey Devs (hopefully)

I first of all want to say that I love the game due to my OCD and the comfortable easy play and cleaning of surfaces. However, I have Gnomophobia due to 1990s Goosebumps TV series and the Gnome episode from back then, and I'd like to request if there could be any option in the settings or anything to convert all gnomes into something else so that I can enjoy the game more without feeling anxious that it will become a horror game. I'm not suggesting removing them all entirely as I'm aware they're for some strange reason your mascot to the game, I'm just asking that perhaps there could be an option to remove their visuals? I'd really appreciate feedback if possible please. Thank you.

Not a dev, i have suggested adding a phobia toggle because phobias have already resulted in something being changed. The Helter Skelter had a clown over the door, still kinda looks like a clown but isn't. I understand that some people are bothered by things to different degrees, thus the suggestion of making it a toggle. I can see why clowns would be scary to some but others aren't bothered. I am afraid of snakes, spiders, heights and tight spaces. None of these things would bother me in game, but i get that they could bother other people.

My main concern is that the devs would just remove them altogether like they did with the clown. Though as i've suggested it before, i second the toggle.

I don't recall the clown, though I have a slight unease towards clowns too, though I wasn't one to advocate for the removal. I appreciate the seconding of my suggestion for a option toggle, I'm not advocating for their hard work and creative time to go unwarranted or be wasted, I just ask that the gnomes, which I have a phobia of, to the point I felt my heart racing just knowing they were beside or behind me in the game, be able to be toggle changed into possibly another form, something a little more universal and not just remove them outright, mainly because I recognize that they're the mascot of their game which they've worked so hard on.
