I thought my sim was taking forever to get a full night's sleep because she was pregnant, but it didn't go back to normal after the baby was born. Then I find this thread, and... yup, my sim started knitting furiously when she found out she was pregnant. She's got a fully upgraded bed, normally she could go from falling down tired to fully rested in 4 hours. Now she simply can't fill her Energy, she has to pee or eat before that can happen.
Okay, well this isn't exactly a fix since it means not using the main feature of the pack, but I figured out how to make my sim playable: Cheat Knitting skill back to 0, get rid of the knitting bag, and change aspirations, if you didn't finish that already. And then save and exit, and reload. After doing that, my sim now sleeps normally again.

Me too! It started with my little girl (she kept having to take a vacation day from school) . 😞 Then it moved on to the mom, and now the dad is starting to be affected. Nobody has tried knitting the forbidden sweater yet (I haven't unlocked it.) The only Sim not affected is the toddler, but she relies on her parents to take care of her, and now they can't! 😢
I have never used Mods / CC in TS4. I have all the packs and play on a PC.
@PugLove888 Yes, this doesn't seem to be related to the Forbidden Sweater, since my sim never made one either. It appears to be caused by Knitting skill itself- my sim regained Energy slower and slower over the course of a few days, which coincides with her skilling up in Knitting. And then once I cheated her Knitting back to nothing, she's fine again.
