How to Appease Every Gnome During the Harvestfest in The Sims 4

To appease gnomes during Harvestfest, you’ll have to click on a gnome, select “Appease the Gnome”, and choose the right gift option. Each gnome has three favorite options, giving you a 50 percent chance to guess correctly.

During the Harvestfest event, gnomes will appear around your lot for you to interact with. While you can ignore or even kick the gnomes, these have negative consequences for your household. The other main option is to appease them by giving them their favorite gifts! Don’t worry, though. You don’t have to go out collecting each item.
