I joined the forum in 2009 but didn't start to post regularly until 2014, when TS4 released. For The Sims, TS2, and TS3 I spent most of my time at Neighborhood 99, a Sims fan site, where I was a m...
Rather than just...staring into the void - as one would- I decided to do a bit of forum lurking instead. This is when I discovered the Nifty Knitting deep-dive thread. Now, if I had been a Sims 4 toddler, I'd be an inquisitive one. If we could choose TWO traits instead of one, I'd also be an angelic little toddler ... o:). Alas, I am not a toddler, I'm an adult - however, it is fair to say that I am an extremely inquisitive one. Due to my inquisitive nature I love behind the scene threads/ docus, etc. and finding out about the origin of ideas and following the process of how stuff is produced etc. etc. is truly enjoyable. I find other people's creativity to be very inspiring. Etcetera.
Did I want a Happy Haunts stuffpack instead of one about Knitting? Absolutely. I don't know how to knit but I do know how to haunt happily, so twas an obvious choice. But, hey, folks insisted virtual knitting was more important plus I had to self-isolate (if I wanted to avoid arrest) and so this is when I learned how to appreciate the idea of knitting in The Sims 4. I deemed it crucial to let SGConor know how much I enjoyed his Deep-Dive thread. You know, words of acknowledgement, encouragement 'n all that. It's great btw! I miss threads like that. I really do. Consider this a hint.
Anyway, I tried to sign up here only to find out that somehow I was already a forum member since 2013?! Took me 7 years to realize. I was like: "Oh. OK."
Below you can find my thank-you post, which was also my very first post on the official forums, on page 4 of "The Sims 4 Community Voted Stuff Pack Deep Dive: Nifty Knitting" -
