I hate that we can't sell the knitting projects via retail shops

Also, regarding the actual topic, I think if you unlock the items in BB (bb.showhiddenobjects) and place them, you should be able to set them for sale. I just saw someone post a knitting shop on Twitter the other day with all the BB objects, so my guess is that's how they did it. I will test this when I get home later.

Edited to add:
If you go into the debug menu and fetch the items there you can set them for sale, at least most of them (I didn't try all).

You cant?!!! That is so disappointing if true. That was the first thing i wanted to try after unlocking more items. I tried selling them through the yard sales table but could not place/drag them. I am so sad right now, i dont want to use plopsy or the inventory to sell them.

Huh! Perhaps its just bug then, and they can fix is in the next patch! Thanks for looking into the hidden objects, I wouldn't have thought of that! Suppose I should have waited instead of buying the pack immediately haha.

A knitting shop in real life is probably what I would refer to as a yarn shop. They sell yarn and often have a few knitted pieces just for display to show off the yarn so you can feel the drape of the fiber or to promote a certain pattern. Nobody really goes there to buy hand knits, at least not in my experience. Of course I wouldn’t tell you what kind of store you should have, but it really is more realistic this way if a yarn shop is what you’re going for.

There’s usually an area where people can gather with a table and chairs, for knitting classes or clubs. And all the good ones have a comfy sofa for the non-knitter spouse who got dragged along.

You're right, of course. We used to have one near me. That wouldn't be too much fun in the game though so having purchasable items sounds more interesting.

I recently read a novel called The Vampire Knitting Club, and there's a wool shop that features as one of the main locations in the book, so I'm thinking of doing something along those lines eventually.

I also noticed you cant put your knits in a storage box either. so there inventories get packed with their knits.

Why do you keep all of it in the inventory, if I may ask? I either add them to wardrobe for CAS items (then the whole household can wear them), place the objects, sell on Plopsy or gift them. I never had more than 4 items in my Sim's inventory.

i only have about four items in the inventories, but they dont sell very quickly, so they will still be knitting, I have to donate them if I can't sell them, also has anyone been able to gift them to family members??? my child sim knitter knitted a beanie hat and wears it with her day clothes all the time lol.

I’d put balls of yarn on display in a bunch of colors. Selling the knitting bags would make sense too. Any of the knitted objects that aren’t CAS seem like they’d be saleable. I’ve never tried running a retail shop since TS2, so I’m not sure how it works - does the game usually let you sell CAS items? I don’t see the point so I’ve never tried, although now that we have craftable ones I do see the point in it.

Yeah, you can use the mannequin to set outfits and sell the clothes in that way. I placed a mannequin in a sim's house, briefly, and could add knitted clothing my sim had bought from Plopsy to it but I haven't yet attempted to buy a shop. I am probably going to try that at a later point with this household but they need a bit more money first.

Maybe a knitting studio is more what I mean, I work in a pottery studio/gallery/shop irl so was basing it off that (since potterty was skipped over...) and had plans to have club for a knitting room too, probably where I got the knitting shop from lol. Honeestly it's just a community space at this point lol, with some retail salted in lol Also, we can't sell the knitting bags either

Oh yes. I have never tried to sell clothes. You use one of the mannequins for clothing. Thank you!
