A1: Yes please for retail and yard sales! NO please no no no for fame! Suggestion for tying in with other packs, cats and dogs, definitely need cats, should play with yarn! Maybe they destroy projects and you can scold their poor behavior but I would not want them to completely stop playing with yarn should they become successfully scolded. Maybe an knitting arts and crafts course with university, maybe cursed or hexed items for witches, maybe a "spend quality time with...." for parenthood where the interaction can only be done with teens and child aged sims in the household that boosts their relationship.
A2: Although I do not knit or crochet I do know they are not the same. I don't believe having a sim "knit" and the product look crocheted would be appropriate. But again, I do neither, just know others who do and are usually pretty adamant that they are not the same.
A3: As you said, no one sits at a desk to knit. I didn't even vote for these items due to that. If they do get voted in, a focused moodlet I guess would be appropriate for doing so at a desk.
A4: I am unsure the time length it should take but I do really like the idea of projects being able to be continued on should the sim need to stop in the middle of it. This also leads me to think that since we do not have alot of interactions that cause a boredom moodlet, maybe if you que up 3x in a row they become bored after the 3rd, this could also be determined on their skill level, maybe at a certain level they no longer become bored and instead can gain a focused moodlet. And for children or teens (given that in real life their attention spans are not as long) maybe after the 2x que they become bored and like adults maybe they enjoy it after a certain skill level.
A5: Yes, standing and knitting is a go, but honestly think they should kneel not stand. And if doing it with another sim, and only one can sit, then the other sim could kneel. Otherwise, if no seating is available they could kneel together like when parents help children and teens with school projects.
A6: This question I'm not sure how to answer. I suppose my previous answers could suffice. I think rocking and knitting would be great (PS. I've been praying for rocking chairs FOREVER! So excited for this!)
A7: Yard sales/vendor tables are a must! But I think gifting items made would be great too!
A8: I love all your ideas and suggestions. I think the direction you're going with it is great! I like that idea of folding arms to cover it yet if the relationship is high they gain positive moodlets and show it off happily.
A9: Ha! This is an awesome question and actually, when I read it I instantly thought of my friend who can knit and crochet. I personally do not have any due to not being talented like this in real life, I would defer such things to the knitting experienced replying simmers. :smile:
A:10 This is the question that made me decide I definitely wanted to answer your post. In my personal opinion, I would not be pleased with autonomous knitting interactions, conversations or skill gains. In real life, my mother is a phenomenally skilled in sewing, who learned so from my father's mother. Her own mother (my grandmother) is an amazing knitter and crocheter, however my mother could care less for the skill and knowledge of how to do it even though she grew up with it. And as for me in real life, I can't sew, knit, crochet nor do I have any desire to do so. With that said, I would be against any autonomous interactions that causes OTHER sims to gain the skill.
Thank you for asking the community's opinions! I hope we help you and we look forward to see what you come up with!
