The Seasons expansion pack added holidays to The Sims 4. Not only does it include various pre-made holidays like Harvestfest and Winterfest, it also lets gamers create their own Sims 4 holidays. One of the most exciting times in The Sims 4 is when Harvestfest rolls around, as Sims can gather their families and enjoy a grand meal together.

During this time, gnomes will appear around players' homes, and they can gift them, which will either appease them or make them angry. This guide will tell players what they must give each gnome to appease in The Sims 4.

The Sims 4 Gnomes

The Sims 4 Seasons spawns gnomes during Harvestfest and any other holidays that might have the "Holiday Gnomes" trait, and in these cases, appeasing the gnomes will be one of the criteria for a successful holiday. On top of this, pleased gnomes will grant the player seed packets as a thank-you gift. Players can offer gnomes any of the following items by interacting with them:

  • Coffee
  • Pie
  • Salad
  • Toy
  • Fruitcake
  • Future Cube

Sims 4 gnomes won't react the same way to each item; they have different tastes, so gamers will have to pick an item that suits their preferences. There are over a dozen different gnomes in The Sims 4, and they all have a chance to appear during Harvestfest, so fans should make note of their favorite items.
