Every time there's a cross stitch basket in the house, my sims become obsessed with cross-stitching. Even if they are cross-stitching, they will have an autonomous Q to start a new one right away. It seems it's always a big rainbow, at least in my saves.
I have no mods installed while seeing the problem. I have mostly all the packs except for jungle adventure, kids room stuff, perfect patio stuff and a few cas kits.

For me, even *with* or without mods installed it pops up. None of my mods affect the cross stitch activity/skill. The only difference is, it seems random as to what they'll cross stitch, but it's always a large hoop. If they have one in their inventory/pocket, they'll still start a new cross stitch project 😮💨
Yep, I'm getting this too. Loaded up to play the time travel event and my household is constantly going for the cross-stitch. Next time I'm just going to get rid of the basket altogether.
I've had this in my game for a while, from before the latest patch (25.02.2025), but I can't remember when the change took place. Hope it's fixed soon as non-creative sims keep doing cross-stitch which is a little jarring!
Same. I can't leave a cross stitch basket in the house to be able to tell them to cross stitch when I want them to, or I'm constantly cancelling their autonomous "start a cross stitch". It's annoying, as it makes the basket functionally useless.
Yes I have this issue too. No mods.
Yes, this causes me never to place it anymore because no matter what their likes or what they are doing, if that basket is on the lot all sims will not leave it alone and do it continuously., drop everything for it as well. Drives me nuts.
Same thing happens to me! I ending up just deleting it. Super annoying.
It's very annoying. Cross Stitch Basket, clay, white cake. Why can't it be solved? Sims are obsessively stitching.
I have noticed in my most recent save all of Sims, (children and adults), favor the cross-stitch basket over just about every other hobby object.
