Just bought nifty knitting yesterday and having problems. Sims has only knitted a couple of items and now "knit" is greyed out and when I hover over the text it says she doesn't want to knit right now. Needs are all good, don't understand why? Is this normal?

    @avalonniasims   What you are seeing is pretty normal for knitting when the knitting skill level is low to mid-range.  Once they get to the higher-level skill levels, they usually don't get the option greyed out anymore nor the negative moodlets associated with it.  And as @Wndblwz said, the moodlets will tell you why usually as well as how long you have to wait until the sim will knit again.  It just takes a little patience.

    Hope this helps.

  • Not sure how often this occurs as I have only been playing with nifty knitting for a short while. Sim was knitting happily but now the option is greyed out despite her having pretty much full green needs?

  • Check your Sim's moodlets. If they're stressed, injured, disinterested, etc. the action will be greyed out. They might prefer more cerebral or physical activities.
