Knitting Pack - Resume after interruption?

For skills like writing and cross stitch if my Sim is interrupted while they are doing the task they can resume what they were working on. For knitting, however, I'm not seeing that option. I expected it to give me something in the sim's inventory which I could click to resume, similiar to how cross-stitch works, but my Sims aren't getting anything in their inventory.

It looks to me like they are supposed to get some kind of ball of yarn object because when my sims who knit select "Give Gift" there are these ball of yarn objects that show up in the list. Thing is, they don't actually show in the sim inventories. (And giving them as gifts doesn't actually work,despite them showing in the list).

Is this some kind of known bug or do I possibly have some mod interfering? I don't have any knitting related mods, but I do know how mods can break seemingly unrelated game functions.

Edit to add: This is now resolved for me. It was a mod conflict, despite the fact the mod doesn't effect anything related to knitting or even from the Knitting pack. The mod was Bessy' Clutter Anywhere mod, from MTS. I've left a comment on the mod page to let her know of the issue.

    Would clicking on the couch or rocking chair itself work? I’m going to log in and check on my sims in a bit and see if my sims have this bug…


    Reading things further on various older posts on the topic I learned I am also supposed to be able to "frog" an unfinished project. I don't see that as an available option anywhere either. I'm in the process of removing one mod folder at a time to narrow down the source. I have 0 mods related to knitting or even sitting on furniture, so at this point it could be any of them....or none of them and I'm just the unlucky SOB for which their 'fix' didn't work.


    I think when the original bug happened the option to resume knitting was still available, your sim would just not do it.

    Yah, no unfinished knitting projects are showing up in their inventory at all. Are they supposed to? They do have the knitting bag, but clicking that isn't giving a resume nor a frog option. Just the option to start a new project. And I've tried clicking the sim, the bag, the chair, the rocking chair and the bed (all with the sim sitting already) ... no menu options for it at all. It's crazy!

    So far I've cleared all of Bienchen's mods and all of LittleMsSams mods and the problem persists, so at least I know it's not any of my favorite mods. Without those two modders I don't know if I'd even play the game...
    Just 5 more folders to go. I keep mods in subfolders based on the source of the mod which makes it easy to troubleshoot and update.


    Oh, dear… And just clicking on the chair (without the sim sitting on it) didn’t work either?

    Good that you organized your mods into sub-folders so you can find the culprit, hehe! ?? Hopefully you find the one mod that was causing problems very soon!

    Edited to add: And if worse comes to worst, maybe you can screenshot it to show folks here on what your knitting menu pop up on the knitting sim looks like?
  • My problem is resolved.

    A mod I used which allows more items to be used as clutter, called Clutter Anywhere, was the culprit.
    Oddly, the mod doesn't actually impact anything related to knitting in terms of what it is supposed to do, but with that mod gone I can resume and frog projects just fine.

    Thank you @LatinaBunny and @logion for your assistance in this thread. I very much appreciate it.

    Yay!! ? Glad you found the found culprit, hehe!

    Happy knitting, @Stormkeep ! Go make those onesies! ??
  • I just click on the seating (not just rocking chair, but also sofa or armchair) and if the knitting basket is in my sim's inventory, I get the option to "knit..." then to "resume project" (or something similar).

    It never works if I click directly on the basket, I must click on the seating. Did not try while being seated though, I like that I only click once.
