My sims is currently knitting clothes but for some reason he can't add them to the household wardrobe to have them show up in CAS. The option is greyed out and tells me it is already added in CAS. But...
I’ve had it happen a couple times but not consistently. For me if I sell that item on plopsy and knit a new one it usually works okay. I’m with you on the cheating though. I’d rather do it myself.
