Magical Guardian & Gnome of Protection

This is one gnome that is not going to be stolen or kicked around - and it will summon a guardian to protect the lot from burglary. This charmed statue can also control leaves and puddles, and reduce vandalism.

The guardian can teach Sims about the dark arts (i.e. criminal psychology), raising Logic skills, Crime interest, FreeTime Science enthusiasm and grade points, while satisfying fun and social needs. If the teacher is a magic user, such as the elder warlock who may be summoned by the Gnome, all in attendance will improve their neatness and comfort level, and students of the occult will increase their magic skill and shift to a neutral alignment.

If Apartment Life is installed and magic is enabled, an elder townie will be transformed into a fully skilled neutral warlock who will dismiss the intruder magically - otherwise, the Gnome will call in a basegame police officer. The warlock or magical guardian will optionally catch "Burglars Only" or several different "Undesirables" including the Basegame Burglar and Repo-Man; University Evil Mascot; Nightlife or Seasons Mrs. CrumpleBottom; and Bon Voyage Unsavory Charlatan. Only the burglar will win the current family a §500 reward when apprehended.

When a burglar is detected, the gnome acquires a red glow. If the intruder is some other "Undesirable", then the gnome projects a blue glow. This effect lasts until the interloper is removed. In cases where the guardian response is delayed - particularly if he was socializing on the lot - failsafe code will automatically remove the intruder.
