More thoughts on cross-pack tie-ins:
Most of the knitters in my family prefer to dye & spin their own yarn. Obviously the latter isn't going to be part of the pack, but the former might be possible using the Laundry Day wash-tub animation. It'd be great if sims could gather ingredients such as the emotion-berries from Jungle Adventures & add them to the 'dye tub,' so that their final knitted product had appropriate buffs/skill bonuses (good ones for well-made items, not-so-good ones for low-quality, bungled projects--or deliberately sabotaged ones!).
It'd be lovely if each game-world had a unique yarn with unique properties. That'd allow cross-pack tie-ins, and a new collection for people who enjoy completing those. (The knitters in my family love trying unusual yarns.) Possible properties? Maybe Sulani Silk gives you more social confidence, while Selvadorado (eh, spelling?) Silk deters insects from biting. Desert world cottons keep you cooler in warm temperatures & make it harder to overheat; winter world wools do the opposite. (I'm not being specific 'cuz of course the names I want completely fled my mind as I typed! Hah!)
And as @Cyberqueen13 said earlier, Seasons needs a knitting tradition added to the list of traditions! The speed-knitting contest I suggested earlier would also make a good Seasons tie-in, if it can be programmed in.
It's fun trying to come up with these tie-ins; I've seen some great ideas in simmers' posts! :smiley:
