Can't unlock knitting item in CAS

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.65.70.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know, it happened once to me and was fine before. I unlocked beanies and socks before without problems, this time it was a sweater/scarf combination. The other thing that was different was, that it was a legendary quality item. Haven't tried anything of that quality before, so that might be part of the problem. When I added it to my sims' wardrobe I got the normal message about it being in my cas now.
What happens when the bug occurs? I added the item to my wardrobe, only it was still locked there. When I tried to add another sweater with the same colour combination, I couldn't do it because it said it is already added. So now it's not unlocked but I can't unlock it either because it says it's already unlocked.. yay Also in CAS it says it needs knitting level 9 to unlock, but my sim is lvl 10.
What do you expect to see? the item to unlock in CAS
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

‌

I added screenshots that show the message that the item is unlocked, the CAS with the item still locked as well as me trying to unlock the item again.

whoops, I just saw that for some reason the sweater with scarf doesn't count as a cold weather object and I actually checked the wrong object. So it did unlock.. sorry..

@cinnaluna, if you hover your cursor over the Cold Weather tag, to where the "X" next to it turns red, you can get rid of the tag and all the clothing will be available, including the knitting stuff you unlocked with the cheat! It will still count as protecting you from cold weather because of the category that outfit is in. So you could set a swimsuit as your cold weather outfit and wear it in a blizzard and be just fine! 😃 Likewise you can set your bulkiest coat , boots, gloves, and hat as hot weather clothing and wear them in the hottest part of the summer and not feel the effects! 😉

Here is a picture of the cold weather tag that you can get rid of to use any clothing as your cold weather clothing! 🙌

@PugLove888I often thought how illogical that system was. Your sim can wear bearly anything or even be naked and overheat until you put on his or her hot weather outfit which includes more and warmer clothes than before and suddenly they're right as rain. Sure..

@cinnaluna, Well, it isn't logical 😞😃, but I do think it is handy if you are a story teller. I allows for more flexibility and therefore more creativity! 🥳

I keep knitting them, I get the added to wardrobe notification but I don’t see them.

For the sake of the internet, make sure you actively select "Add To Wardrobe" on the item in your inventory, and make sure you filter by 'Packs' in the wardrobe to make it easiest to find your knitted items. I get the added to wardrobe note but it doesn't actually happen until I manually add them.
