The Sims 4 Nifty Knitting Review - Gameplay Features and Additions

[@Lunimoose]

Imagine having one central arts and crafts stuff pack. Knifty Knitting would definitely be included but stuff like sewing, embroidery, patchwork, textiles and the like

[@jlemonni36]

Sims 2 had something like that and it was excellent. Sims 4 definitely offers more in depth gameplay around one skill but I miss the other crafter skills, like sewing machine for patchwork.

[@marlaacolee]

Since it was a stuff pack it would be so shallow and un-thought out bc of EA unfortunately

Sweater Curse: if you knit a sweater for a boyfriend/girlfriend, the relationship will be over by the time the sweater is finished and ready to be gifted. Sweaters take a long time to knit, time that could have been spent with your sweetie.

[@redwitch95]

yeah i know some knitters and apparently it can also be the fact your partner might not appreciate all the immense effort that goes into making the sweater, which hastens the end of the relationship. kinda surprised ea included it, but it's a nice little tidbit

[@username4261]

I heard about that in a try guys video!!

[@lateformyownbirth]

See, I know it the other way. That it's like getting someone's name tattooed on you. It's too much commitment and that curses you. There's nothing stopping you from a, properly managing your time, or b, knitting it while you're hanging out with them watching tv.

Something that i found very interesting is the “add to wardrobe” feature on the clothing you make. Would be so cool if we have this feature to make actual clothing stores in the game and unlock clothes in your sims personal wardrobe buying them, like in sims 2. And the coolest thing is that you could buy clothes and gift Friends and family with it(i hate to give sims presents because there’s nothing interesting to give)Think about it: it’s Winterfest, and you give your special someone a bealtiful Winter sweather to use on snow days. Would be a awesome game changer. I used to love making my sims go out and buy clothes.

[@gwouru]

you do know there is an ability to run your own store, and sell outfits right? You can in fact... do what you mentioned with your knit clothing (and the rest of it)

[@Evilene121162]

Yes! And a sewing machine could be a tinkered with computer animation so maybe wouldn’t be a whole lot of work?

[@isaiasagustini7525]

Wolfe Wright i know that, this feature came with GtW. But what i mean is really having to unlock normal clothes in CAS for your sim to use, not having the entire CAS in your dresser like we have today. What’s the point of buying clothes at the clothing store in Get To Work if we already have all the clothes back in your sim’s house? And gifting clothes i meant any piece of clothing, not just the knitted ones.

[@gwouru]

@@isaiasagustini7525 One makes do with what one has available, till more things become available. Continue to request new features, to the right people, maybe they'll listen. Till then.... one makes do.

I wish too there are some clothes that can only be accessed through shopping at a community lot, amd not in CAS. And incentive to go out and shop

[@ravenjade2553]

I remember in sims 3 rocking my baby was the thing I did the most to bond with my child. My parent was tried and could just sit and rock their child and it was so nice and peaceful....and we don't fucking get that now. If they would just toss an Elder and Baby pack out and make those real life stages we'd drown them in money. Just give us what we want, is it really so hard? A stroller? The canes with different walking styles? Are they that damn hard? (Uncontrollable sobbing)

[@amelie3012]

There isn't much point ito a stroller in ts4 though, they would just be annoying like bikes in the closed world

[@triviashiraz1808]

Not gonna lie, I bought this pack solely for the METAL (how it is in game) station. Also, if you go to switch volume one will say "Make METAL quiet for some reason?" I choked on my coffee reading that.

[@merchantfan]

Yeah I love all the custom interaction labels for Metal - they're so funny

[@triviashiraz1808]

@@merchantfan I just had a kid in one of my households headbanging. Yeah, that's worth the price of the pack right there.

[@MieSyzygy]

It's a cute SP. One thing I did notice with the mailboxes is that, since it's a gift/sellable/put in your inventory type of item, if you make one be your main mailbox every time you go to click it it will act like you're picking it up, making the interactions for the actual mailbox a little tricky. Other than that, I haven't noticed many glitches. Plopsy works fine in my game. Gifting low level knits makes other sims furious at you, which I thought was funny. The elementals on Sulani do not appreciate these gifts and will give you negative island love. The donate news flashes can be pretty funny, they're always grateful though sometimes confused on what the item is supposed to be. Sometimes you will sell an item (even a high level legendary) on Plopsy and the customer will complain that it is too small or too itchy, which is very relatable to any craft seller. Not going to go into how some of these crafts wouldn't be done irl in knit (at least not hand knit, maybe machine), especially the macrame plant holders, just appreciating that they have included handicrafts and allusions to a well rounded crafter. Some things are disappointing, for instance not being able to rock the toddlers. Would have liked the acquisition of working materials to be a little more complex than immediate inventory drop. We take fiber shopping way seriously and it's part of the fun. Many people still spin yarn so that would have been a fun incorporation. 'Yarn love' would have been a good moodlet after they went shopping and bought a hoard of it online. When they sit and knit, you cannot direct any conversations going on around you at the time, but sometimes can get in a little bit of social...anyone who knits or crochets knows that we are capable of doing several tasks at the same time as our projects; we watch tv, we talk with our family, we read directions, you get the jist. Overall though, for what you get and for all of the things your sim can produce, this is a decent little pack. Maybe eventually they can add more swatches to the build/buy for those who don't care much for the pastel theme (not holding my breath). It would be nice to expand upon the crafter theme in the future as well (not holding breath for that one either). In summation, I personally find this pack adorable and enjoyable. It's a solid SP, and that's all we can ask for at the end of the day. P.s. not all knitters are elderly, when do we think they learn? My 5 year old is learning to crochet, so really these are skills aquired over a long time, rather than being something someone wakes up knowing how to do once they hit a certain age. I can understand why people don't like this pack or feel the need for it, but the scope and breadth of fiber artists who also play the Sims is large and enthusiastic. I'm happy for the representation. I'm also sure they will bring the Grim career to a pack sometime in the near future. Thanks for the video, Carl.

What a helpful and lovely comment!

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

scarves. scarves are a category? WHY ARE THEY NOT THE FIRST THING YOU UNLOCK???????

[@fleacythesheepgirl]

SomeoneBeginingWithI I think the scarves are attached to sweaters, not separate items.

[@ReplicatorFifth]

As someone said the scarves aren’t separate. They are apart of the sweater.

[@surprisesdaedra2863]

Grimcookies on youtube explains why it wouldn’t be possible to have scarves as a separate item. It’s something along the line of how the clothes work in game making it really hard for scarves to be a thing. But he does say that they could’ve added in more shirts/outfits that include them.

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

@@surprisesdaedra2863 They could have added edits of basegame coats and jumpers that have a knitted scarf instead of the one in basegame, that you unlock when you knit the scarf. A scarf is almost every knitter's first project, and having you not be able to knit scarves until you have the skill to knit a sweater is gamebreaking lack of realism to me.

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

You don't even need to be able to wear the scarf, tbh, it could be something you can only donate or sell and I'd still be happy as long as it was the first thing you knit.

[@FFSteveEMT]

My sim never got bored of knitting. He wouldn’t stop for half a real life hour. I kept having to redirect him.

Rocking chair is one of the selling point of this pack so what else can you do with other than sitting, reminisce and play? Can elders fall asleep while sitting in it? Can sims with high Handiness skill make a chair?

I haven't seen any of my Sim nap in it, but it may be possible, they do eat, chat, watch TV, listen to music etc in it though so from that perspective they are a lot more functional than the sun loungers.

I worked late on Tues when this pack came out so I didn't get to buy it until evening. I got home, purchased the pack and sat down to play. When I opened my game up it just happened to be new skill day and I thought that's great, I'll be able to make good progress on the knitting skill. 15 real time minutes later I maxed the knitting skill out. I'm not exactly mad about it because now I can make everything and not have to cheat to unlock them, but I certainly didn't think I'd max the skill so quickly. Other than that I do really like the pack. I enjoy the knitting skill, the build/buy options and cas. I do wish they would have made a pack that had more than one hobby/arts and crafts, but I'm happy at least the kid's can do this too.

I love knitting in real life but who on earth voted for this to be a pack? I only started knitting so I could not feel idle whilst watching a movie or commuting and at the same time produce cute stuff. It really isn't the most interesting skill to watch/play. Would've been cool if they had a hobbies game pack with new instruments like a sax or drum kit. Anyway, thanks for the review Carl. I always check here before buying anything sims 4.

[@tabytastick]

The only issue I've been having is my Sims now Only want to knit. They are hungry so I have them make food and is I don't sit and babysit them they will leave the food and go knit, starting a new project everytime. I never allow my Sims to have free will so that's not it. The other issue was I thought Sims could listen to music while knitting but no matter how I que it up they don't work together. No issues with ploopsy.

[@tabytastick]

@@TaikaJamppa no, that also didn't work. For the record I am on console so maybe there's a glitch?

[@playalot8513]

Just remove the knitting bag from their inventory until you actually want them to knit. This constant knitting was driving me nuts too

[@playalot8513]

If you start your Sim listening to music first then direct them to knit they will do both

[@Draconicrose]

This pack uses the clothing system that allows sims to get moodlets, which I think is super underutilized in sims 4. That system has potential.

[@rolandbaldwin]

I think the aspiration is great for teens. There aren't too many aspirations they can complete. I wanted my Sim to be a teen actor but she needs to be an adult. I didn't want her to be a teen author. Also there is not teen student aspiration. You have to be in university for that. Her mom is at the top of the eco lifestyle career so the whole legacy thing of crafting is my storyline. So we need more for teens to do and more for elders to do. Most of the time it ends up being sit down and wait for grim to call with my elders.

Untill they fix the game my money is staying in the bank. Vote with my money. It's the only way ea will listen

It's so wild that I went through everything and noticed I didn't have any rocking chairs...And then this pack came out!

[@Lucy-fn9rj]

5:48 i just realized that was a hint at snowy escape! it’s not nonexistent anymore

[@sailorgaia3753]

i was waiting for this!!

[@SkyQueenDragon]

I just really really wish I could sell my robots on Plopsy ... V.v

[@belif6109]

I also had problems with the game after I bought Nifty knitting.

I’m curious if the air guitar animation is just the guitar playing animation without a guitar? Maybe with a couple of extra bends or something to make it interesting.

[@playalot8513]

It is exactly that.

[@sashac5359]

I have one sim that starts knitting without me telling him to. He is erratic though

[@playalot8513]

All sims will auto start knitting if the basket is in their inventory so just remove it until you actually want them to knit

[@Begnsteal]

“This pack is so pointless. Why would anyone want- @8:00 YARNNY! *goes get wallet*

[@scofieldvictoria]

Darn my love for plushies, metal music, plants, and rocking chairs. And, yes, the knitting pun was intended (for those who don’t know, “darning” is mending a whole in a knitted item)

[@aislingconnolly2598]

Great video, keep up the hard work 🙂

[@wynnyx7071]

I think that the memory thing on the chair is a hint for the future.

[@discodolly25]

my game has horrific lag since I downloaded this yesterday 😭😭(on xbox) been looking forward to this pack since I heard it was coming out as I knit irl. What I've been able to do, I've enjoyed. One thing I would ask they change is asking when a sim sits down to knit by their own choosing if they want to start with a new item or finish off one already started (my sim had around 9 or 10 started items I had no idea they'd started!)

[@playalot8513]

If you take the knitting basket out of their inventory and then only drag it back into it when you want them to knit it stops this annoying behavior

[@vanyadolly]

As a TS2 player I'm actually jealous for once. I always wanted knitting in the game.

[@Virtuoso7.1]

Moodlets needs more downsides and plus sides, if my sim gets cranky for 2 hours no biggie.

[@robkern9255]

I wont be buying this but thanx for the review.

[@Roxelchan]

There seems to be a error in this video where it weirdly skips at 5:01

[@angiedefreitas5060]

I haven't got the pack yet, but I am curious....has anyone tried to make a 'knitting club' in game? (aka a Stitch n Bitch group)? (And I agree with some of the previous comments. The pack could have tied in nicely with stylist/designer, sewing/needlework/textiles trades and careers).

[@waket1570]

Out of curiosity... Can you make a guide on how to play Sims in "hard mode"? Like the hardest start possible, hardest job, & stuff

[@elainal6847]

There is a memory system and its terrible and I only found out about it watching videos from the very beginning of Sims 4. You can take a screenshot of a moment and make it a memory for a sim in the screenshot. Then you have to open your screenshots and on the screenshot click the to have the sim remember it BUT new screenshots are on the bottom so the more you make screenshots the harder it is to find something to add that memory moodlet to your sim. I play legacy style so Moschinos added depth to photo-taking for cataloging my Sims generations and their personality in images was awesome for me and having a skill that can take generations to unlock all the options in one household also works for my long gameplay style.

[@playalot8513]

Sadly this feature was very different when the game launched in 2014 and was actually incredibly useful. Then the devs 'tweaked' it and really isn't worth bothering about anymore.

[@elainal6847]

@@playalot8513 I didn't even search for it until 2018 and it was tedious to locate and I absolutely agree. I honestly think the whims system suffered the same fate when an executive decision was made to move beyond the feature.

[@a.7711]

If they can put this kind of shopping system in the game, i have hope for more store ideas later on. So hope grocery shopping and clothing stores make a come back. I want my sims to be challenged to work for what they want to own depending on their skills, financial situation and character.

[@Johanna77777-z]

I don't really see how this shopping system adds more than the "buy books" system from base game?

[@chris7174]

Your videos are great! Thanks!

[@YYSoong]

"(Italic)FriendlyNeighborVlad" looks sarcastic, LOL.

[@valkyrie040]

Honestly, I only buy these things for the stuff. But I'll have to wait for it to be discounted before I buy it :p

[@Evilene121162]

My sim ONLY wanted to knit. She was in the education career and she wouldn’t grade papers - she only wanted to knit! 🤦🏾‍♀️ My sim has the new aspiration and also has the maker trait, so maybe that combo creates a deadly obsession (not that she has died but she’d also rather knit than sit down to eat too, but that’s also an issue I’ve had since eco so can’t blame this pack).

[@eveyryder4164]

The best time to wear a stripped sweater. Is ALL THE TIME!

[@alesiayw]

They need an ELDER STUFF game pack!!

[@chironohero7706]

As always awesome review, sadly since the Update The Sims 4 is almost unplayable do to the bug where the Sims always break up whatever I want them to do to play on Smartphone, Computer or Dance. Even though I told them in the options not to do anything on their own :S This bug is so annoying and pretty much game breaking, but The Sims 4 Team doesn't care because they don't play their own game, or else I don't know how they not fix it yet! Also what is up with the obsession of making cakes xD
