Just a note, I am not one saying their joy is wrong. I am stating my opinion about I do not like another boring supposed game play, when the Sims 4 is lacking in so many ways. I've knitted and for me it was boring. My mother knits... she enjoys it, but I do not watch her knit, why would I watch a Sim knit?
Toddlers and children are so in need of things to do. Elders, children, and toddlers could use clothes, more hair, and ect (more elder clothes and hairstyles). So much missing in this game, that knitting just doesn't interest me. I would like to see smaller items that huge in the game. How about sp that has wallpaper, floors, matching furniture, more paintings, and etc. People are right this isn't Sims 2 and 3, it is 4... It is suppose to outdo its previous versions, not offer less and not fix many broken things and bugs that have been around for ages.
So yeah, not purchasing knitting.
