Ever since I kicked that mysterious gnome
My sims life is bassically a mess right now. I was babysitting four babys and two childs who were always breaking things.. and then the parrent wont show up and those kids always breaking things at my house...

The next morning, the babies were gone, but the parrent with one baby showed up again.. but now the baby stays at my house, even though its not my work days.. and the parent just stays there.. he even pee himself at my house... I cant interact with him.. hes still standing there..

How do I deal with this problem? Is this glitch or the gnome whom I just kicked got angry with me and keep cursing my household????

You've just got some stuck Sims. Gnomes don't actually do much (they will watch TV and turn on stereos, though), but they certainly don't curse households. Since I'm not sure who or what is stuck, it's probably easier to attack the problem with a mod. Go to nraas.wikispaces.com, grab the Master Controller mod (I don't think any of its add-ons are necessary for this), install it (it's just dropping its .package file into your \Mods\Packages folder), launch the game and load your save.

Click on the Sims that are having the problem (one at a time), select Nraas -> Master Controller -> Advanced -> Family -> Reset Sim. This will move the problem Sims to a safe location (usually their home lot) and will usually unstick whatever is stuck and causing the problem. You could do the same thing in the console using the resetsim command, but this is just quicker, easier, and less susceptible to typos.

For the items that the kids are breaking, you'll either need to pay someone to repair them, repair them yourself, or sell and replace them with new ones. Once your Handiness skill is high enough (which it will be if you do the repairs yourself), you can add the "unbreakable" upgrade to most obejects. It takes most of a day for each object, so don't make plans to do anything else while upgrading.

Nope, it'll just move all sims to their own lots, reset their moods, and cancel any current interactions.

Actually, im having new problem right now and Im hoping this will fix it... if My children go to school, the progress keeps saying "field trip", eventhough its not a field trip... and each time afterschool activity is supposed to happen, my sims just stand outside her school... I guesss the progress just got stucked..

Do you have overwatch and errortrap installed? After I installed these I have had a great decrease in bugs + lag problems.

People in real life have gnomes around their gardens. Those are the ones you DON'T want to kick, or they WILL get even .
