Re: Sims 4 - can’t craft cross stitch patterns, knitting patterns, etc

@crinrict Thank you for the link. I just assumed the knitting and cross stitching issues were somehow related.

I uploaded her to the gallery. The household name is Greetings Mortals. I initially downloaded her off the gallery and she came with a bunch of skills maxed out (I wish the gallery told you things like that). I started a new save with the original copy and there were no issues, but I don't think this one had issues at the beginning either. I bought hoops off of one of the Crumplebottoms before ever trying to cross stitch, and I think I initially tried to start cross stitch through one of the hopes instead of the box and it didn't work, in case that matters.

    @prettypea Do you have the original of this Sim ? Did you cheat add/remove anything to her ?

    EDIT: I looked at her hidden commodities and found this

    She also has a value of 0 for Guitar and flower arranging which also doesn't work for her. It's like the game doesn't know what to do cause she doesn't have a level at all.

    I have no clue where this is coming from though.

    Removing those values allows her to cross stich and knit.

    @crinrictI uploaded the sim I started with to my gallery, the household name is Greetings Mort. She is modded because she has a trait from Nisa's mod, which I later removed. (She was able to access the cross stitch box with this trait when I loaded her into the same game/household as the broken sim. I later replaced that trait.

    The other cheats I used were to max out the Character Values. The original came with some skills maxed. It's possible I started going through and removing them but gave up. 

    EDIT: I think your edit and this post might have answered things.

    @crinrict  I changed her cross stitch skill to 1 and it fixed it. I've never really messed around with skill cheats before so had no idea it could break things like this.

    I really appreciate your help!

    @prettypea yeah, the original looks fine so it was something that came later. the Char values cheats don't do that but the lowering skill cheat is currently a bit broken so maybe when you used that something broke ?

    Anyways, yeah setting that and knitting to 1 should fix the issue. Same for flower arranging and guitar. They are also broken.
