Q1:
Love your ideas! Here are some more:
Seasons: knitted items like scarves or jumpers worn by a sim give them a warm/cozy emotion, particularly in cold weather. Crafted plant items could be uplifting/energising in Spring. Holiday traditions around crafting/knitting and gifting these to people. Ugly Winterfest sweaters are an option to make, and gift, and an embarrassed or fun emotion depending on the sim wearing a gifted sweater.
Realm of Magic: Imbibe magic into items: Cursed or enchanted items to gift to people that cause different emotions/illnesses, or increase magic skill. Cursed items might be haunted, or make items break around the home. Enchanted items, like a plant craftable, improve flower/fruit/veg harvests or improve potion/spell success on site. Wearing a lucky item = better duelling success.
Parenthood: giving hand made gifts improves familial relationships. Can gift dresses, scarves, socks, etc, or toys and plants or other crafts. The ability to teach skills to children. Gifting toys or clothes to babies or toddlers, or as a present to new parents. I would love to have more family play! I would really love to see a lot of home made children’s/toddlers clothes and toys. Hand-me-down items can be much loved or embarrassing.
I’d love to see some traits and aspirations associated with crafting/knitting. Also favourite things!
Q2. MAKE A NEW ANIMATION PLEASE! I’m sick to death of reused animations, it’s boring and nothing feels new. Knitting is unlike other activities in the game and not having a unique animation will look silly.
I’d love to have craftable clothes (see ugly sweater/scarf/dress idea above), that would be amazing!
Q3. I love the desk but I want to see it used for crafts other than knitting. If sims knit at the desk, their hands should be above the surface and the knitting needles not clipping into the desk. Knitting while sitting on an armchair is the obvious preferable choice. Can the desk/bench be used by more than one sim at a time? I would love to see a couple of sims sitting together, crafting or knitting together.
Q4. Good idea! I think some knitting could be completed in a couple of sim hours (if it’s a small item and a skilled sim), but maybe 9 sim hours (split up) for a low skill sim, or a complicated knitting piece.
Q5. Yeah, it’s much better than a desk! But they should get tired standing.
Q6. Awww that would be amazing!! I love the idea of integrating this with family play - especially toddlers and children with elders! I could see it being similar to sims watching tv together: sitting on the couch and talking, knitting together. A desk or bench that allows two or more people to sit at it at a time would be awesome for crafting together, grandparent and grandchild, or a young couple, dad and son, etc.
Q7. Yeah sure, I think lots of people would like that. For me, I think it would be enough to sell the items in a yard sale/shop or listing it online, or just clicking “sell” like we can with paintings.
Q8. Yesss!! Love this idea. I want to see their comfort drop, their embarrassment rise, awkward facial expression, blushing. scratching at themselves and tugging the collar/sleeves, wanting to hide, walking with arms pinned to their sides or covering their face. Some sims should find an “embarrassing” item funny and be playful and silly with it. Also would love to see confident body language and a strut/smile when they’re wearing a quality item.
Q9. Ah, man, that’s my boyfriend’s department. I’ve got nothing.
Q10. Yes! More autonomy is always good. Love it, bring it, more of it, with everything!! It makes my sims feel real. I don’t like having to push the button every time I want my little robots to do something. They should be able to do what they want and choose to do! This would be incredible. It should also be influenced by relationship type and level, so a close relationship = teaching or being taught.
Thank you so much for asking the community! I love this new approach and it’s exciting to think that the next pack could be something truly directed to the actual community :)
