The Sims 3 Plasma Fruit for Vampires

To acquire this gnome without using a cheat, you will need to grow plasma fruit on your property. The Sims 3 plasma fruit is obtained when your Sim first becomes a vampire. You can also purchase it at the grocery store. To plant the bloody fruit, you just need it in your inventory and to have The Sims 3 gardening skill at level 7 to plant it.

The more plasma fruit plants you have growing on your lot, the more likely The Sims 3 vampire gnome is to show up on your lot. Plant as many plants as you want, but the more you plant, the faster you will see this fun little gnome on your lot.

Another option to acquire this magical gnome (and any gnome) is to use the buydebug Sims 3 cheat. This cheat opens up the availability of all items in game that you can purchase. No waiting around for a gnome to show up with this method!
