Nifty Knitting problem.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.65.70.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but tiny living and Moschino stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know.
What happens when the bug occurs? I'm at level 10 yet most of the knittable objects state they are locked, yet I can knit them. And when I put it in the wardrobe its locked and I can't put it on so I am unable to show it off.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see all locked items unlocked and to be able to wear the item once I put it in the wardrobe.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

Anyone else having problems with Nifty Knitting locked items? I'm at level 10 yet most of the knittable objects state they are locked, yet I can knit them. And when I put it in the wardrobe its locked and I can't put it on so I am unable to show it off.

  • Hmm... and no mods?  I had something like this going on, but I traced it to an outdated mod- UI Cheats Extension.

    Only other thing I can think of, unless you're having a bug no one else has reported yet-- Are you maybe, possibly, looking at the wrong sweater in CAS?  There are a few different styles.  For females, one is a full-body item, then there's 2 different tops- with and without a scarf.  So if what you made is the "With Dress" sweater, and you're in CAS looking in tops, you might well be looking at the "With Scarf" top, which looks pretty similar in a small greyed out picture.

    I can’t add items to wardrobe and I have no mods or cc installed 

  • I'm under the same issue as her, I play on console so I automatically can't use mods or cc and my sim has knitted alot of stuff and I can't add any of it yo wardrobe. The option is completely grayed out and says I already unlocked the item but when I go into CAS none of my knits are available... my sim is stuck on this stupid aspiration I can't finish bc the game has this permanent bug 

  • If you ever encounter the problem of having the Nifty Knitting items not being unlocked and cannot find a way to unlock them/add a knitted piece of clothing to a sims wardrobe, you can use the cheat cas.unlockbytag SP17 as it unlocks all the knitting clothing in CAS which is good for a worst case senario.

    Hi,

    I have knitted almost every colour available and still they sweaters are locked in CAS. 

    what do I do??? 
    All sweaters & colour selections are locked in CAS.

    I am using nifty knitting in cottage living for the first time.

    My old save file with eco living I had zero issues with finding sweaters in CAS.

    I play on PS4 console.

    think I should try in a base game town and see if that works?? 
    many suggestions would be great … I may just give up lol I have two sims knitting everyday and nothing is showing up in CAS and still looks locked after it’s knitted when you’re selecting a knitting project.

    thanks

    @MamaRockit Hi do you have any mods installed? Usually after big updates or downloads, mods can effect gameplay so it's important to make sure you have the latest update

    I am fully updated and having the same problem in the base game.

  • I have this issue currently, can you advise. Attached I show that my sim is at level 10, and the sweater/jacket i want to knit isn't available until i reach level 9. I don't know if that means i can ONLY knit it at level 9?

    Do i have to finish the knitting aspiration to unlock that, like i do the Yarn Thing and the ugly sweater?
