[NKSP] Sims don't talk while knitting

Other activities that have the exact same effect (a conversation being queued, if you switch to the sim not engaged in the activity, for them the conversation is already happening, the sim not doing the activity stands around watching the sim doing the activity with conversation idles until the activity is done): Repairing items and building treehouses.

Sims are also unable to talk while playing Don't Wake The Llama. They talk during all other board games (chess, simbles, cards, puzzles). But it's different from the knitting or repairs in such that other sims will immediately stop (or don't even start) trying to talk to the sim doing the activity. 

But treehouse building and repairs is exact same bug as knitting. I assume it is a bug, because it sure seems like a conversation is supposed to happen but doesn't work for some reason. 

Also happens when a sim is trimming/shaping the bonsai. 

Another one where I have to ask. Was this ever supposed to happen?  I got the pack the day it was available and I have never ever seen my sims whom are knitting converse with anyone.  Not ever.  I assumed that their not talking while knitting was by design.  I say that because when a sim is teaching knitting or mentoring someone who is knitting - ony the teacher/mentor is the one who has ever talked.  The one actually knitting has never spoke in my game.  Never cc or mods win 11 PC
