Q1
I'd love for my sims to have a craft channel! Or, like doing fashion videos, do craft videos. I'd love it if toddlers/children would get a special moodlet (or just extended happiness) when they play with a toy that was hand-knitted. A tot getting into the yarn drawer and messing it all up, paint-splatter style? Maybe discover unusual yarn in the jungle? Possessed knitting needles would also be a joy...
Q2
Absolutely OUTRAGED. How DARE- Nah. I mean, I'm petty enough to be irritated when it's mixed up IRL, but for something like this no one should seriously bat an eye c:
Q3
I don't know if this is realistic with game mechanics, but a desk would be handy if you're making a very difficult pattern. As in, you need a pattern sheet to keep track / use multiple colours. Maybe at first the difficult patterns can only be made at a desk? Until you hit level 10, when you can do anything anywhere. Maybe knitting at a desk should just be a bit faster? (Because organised?)
Q4
Anything 3D takes ages. So a full sweater would take significantly longer than a huge scarf, even if it's the same amount of stitches. Then again, a simple boxy sweater would be faster than a scarf with an intricate pattern. But for simplicity's sake, you should probably go with 3D = longer.
Q5
I... genuinely can't imagine knitting while standing up, but you do you! (This kinda seems like a higher level skill haha) I'd personally prefer for them to just flop on the ground in that case, but either way is fine.
Q6
Lots and lots and LOTS of dropped needles. Seriously. Needles need to be dropped. Also, balls of yarn need to gain sentience and roll away at the most inconvenient time. (Picking up dropped needles and picking up runaway yarn could be a similar animation too!) Lots of frustration and rage quitting. Dropped stitches. Broken yarn. Using really big needles in the beginning to easier show what needs to be done! Maybe granny could use those to show the lil' ones how it works. (ALSO also at some point a cat needs to jump in and ruin everything by clawing the yarn. This is not optional.)
Q7
"Hey can you custom knit a sweater for me?"
"Sure, these are my prices ___"
"No, see, I have level 5 fame, and I will post a simstagram picture with credit! Think of the exposure!! :D "
Cue angry moodlet
Q8
Slowly going insane from the frustration of not being able to scratch. And then literally dropping dead.
"I'd rather die than hurt my friend's feelings!" Awww. Maybe pleading for their soul should be easier in this case. (Especially if it's the person who gifted it to them...)
Q9
Bent u wel eens blijven haken tijdens het breien? Badum-tishhh (You're welcome, Dutch translation people.)
Q10
Yes. My entire suspension of disbelief would break during gameplay if this didn't happen. The sims can get pretty crazy, but an avid knitter NOT trying to drag their entire extended family down fluffy hell with them? Well that's just insane.
