Profitable crafting for sure. I'd like to be able to open a store where I can sell both knitting supplies (different types of yarn (wool, cotton, silk, alpaca, mohair, angora) in a variety of colors, knitting baskets, needles, storage cabinets, etc) and also one where my sim can put the stuff they knit up for sale as well. Being able gift give or donate knitted items to charity would be great too.
Don't know if this has been mentioned, but how about handspinning for an additional new skill? If this were a new skill, this could make selling different types of yarn into a very cool thing because the sims could spin the yarn they want to sell themselves. And there's some skill involved. When you're new to spinning, it's best to spin with certain types and lengths of fibers. Once skilled, that changes. This could also add several different looms to the game as an interactive object that could also be wonderful decor for everything from castles to medieval huts all the way to some modern homes. Yarn dying could be another new skill or maybe an interactive object as well. Note that natural fabric dyes include things like strawberries, plumbs, and coffee beans; things that could tie into gardening or possibly collecting.
I like the idea many have mentioned of a rocking chair that actually rocks. Wonder if you guys could include a porch swing in this mix too? That'd be a good knitting location as well.
I'd like sims to be able to talk while they knit, or to be able to knit while watching TV or listening to the radio. In general, I like multi-tasking and want the TV to combine with many other activities, though that covers more than just this pack. For this pack, if we can make knitting so that it can be done in combination with other things, that'd be great.
Thank you for asking and considering our input.
