- So you know how I said this wasn't my pack? I think the gameplay just singlehandedly saved it. I love how wholesome it is!

As a knitter the only thing I don't agree with is putting socks on level two... socks are COMPLICATED, okay. Like for real.
Agreed! I was knitting for about 8 years before I found the courage to even try and another many years before I felt like I remotely mastered the skill. Now socks are pretty much all I knit... go figure.
Socks were the first thing I ever knit. Much *much* easier than, say, a lace shawl or cabling or (shudder) steeking. :)
Lol
Depends on the sock and it depends on what the knitter wants to knit! I have participated in the Sock Madness competition on Ravelry for 5 years and have only been knitting for 6. I have over 125 pairs
also irl level 1 is a scarf?????? literally??????
I don’t knit I crochet but both are pretty slow skills to learn also scarves and dish towels are easiest not hats. Also I wish this was a larger craft pack with sewing, dyeing and spinning yarn, etc
i think it could have been good as a game pack, i would have loved crocheting and embroidery/cross stitch
Dyeing and spinning would be awesome!
At least spinning, dying yarn would probably be too complex for the game.
Really wish this pack came with a Cardigan. Don't you agree?
Omg YESS!!! I saw the name and thought she’d be knitting Cardigans!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I've been knitting since I was 12 years old and I'm now 26. Seeing this type of representation in this game makes me want to cry lol there are definitely things that are waaay off but I do love that they put this much effort into this pack! I think it's super cute.
I love the donated knitting items too - my son was in the infant ICU after he was born, and we received a beautiful donated blanket
omg that’s so cute
That's so sweet!
That’s awesome!!!
As a knitter for many years, I can say I could knit a sweater and hat long before I learned to knit socks. Knitting socks is one of my favorite things to do...and once you get it, it’s not hard...but the yarn is usually very thin and the needles are tiny, which causes some problems for people. Also, the toys are complicated to make, and if it’s a small toy (theoretically made with sock weight yarn,) those would be more complicated, potentially. Never made toys. Also, the “boyfriend” curse is a known thing, so you are right on that! I love the idea of Plopsy as well.
I was always taught the Sweater Curse is when you gift a sweater to your partner before you are married, you'll break up. (Obv I don't believe in this but that's just what I remember from being in the knitting community since 2005.)
There's also Second Sleeve or Second Sock syndrome where you don't finish the second thing.
knitting a beanie is definitely NOT the first thing to start with. This pack is all wild about skill level. A scarf is usually what I start people with.... because it's back and forth. It's weird they dont have just a scarf!
If there's any reality to the curse, it comes from the fact that knitting sweaters takes a really long time. Chances are, if you're making it for someone you're not married to 1) you'll break up before you finish it, for unrelated reasons or 2) you putting in so much time/effort into the relationship could show that the partner doesn't put that much time/effort in and you break up for that reason
@@onlychristinefans Unfortunately scarves don't really work with the way meshes and texturing is set up in CAS - I do think they could have had something like mittens before socks though.
pelahnar4 That’s exactly how the sweater curse was explained to me, too.
christine e I started with a scarf, had to start over 3 times, never finished... tried 3 scarves... still failed miserably. but then I’ve finished about 20 hats...if not more, I’m great at hats.
I even made a Hat/purse
As a metalhead myself I can finally make my sim self one too! I love all of the METAL radio interactions too 😂 I feel like I'm the only one pumped about it 😅
I am right there with you. This is my favorite part of this pack.
For real though. I might have to get this pack now because they finally put in a metal music station! \m/
I really hope for someone to show off the cat interacting with the yarn basket, those little things always make me smile.
I have a cat in rags to recycle so it may happen over there!
I appreciate the Taylor Swift reference
I looove it
🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻
This all looks so good. It's giving me big Sims 2 Freetime vibes with the locked CAS assets. I can't wait for my sims to turn their house into a knitted palace
Ah, it's so adorable watching you worriedly explaining the meaning of "frogging" without being sure if it's real. It is. Knitting and crocheting are both crafts that consist purely of looped yarn. If you pull on the end (before tying it off) the whole thing will come unlooped. It might not _actually_ be ripping, but the way the piece just falls apart makes it look and feel that way. (which can honestly be super satisfying, assuming you weren't attached to what you made) So, "rip it" "ribbit" frog it"!
Playing with my heart strings here❣️😍 I see Sims, Knitting & Folklore... silly me for thinking you were gonna make a Cardigan 🙌🏻❤️🤣
I liked this video for your grandma! Sounds like a wonderful lady and she is life goals for me with my real life knitting! Really excited to get this pack.
I was really hoping for a knitted/crocheted cat bed (made one recently on my channel).. maybe my sims cat would be more appreciative than my real cat 😂
I doubt xD at lest in my saves the cats always sleep on the human bed, the cat tree, the floor or the kitchen, they completely ignore the beds around the house xD
Awh the give to charity is so cute!! I myself was a prem baby and love this extra feature
Ella Roberts it’s nice to see other premies out there.
As someone who listens to metal while I'm knitting, this pack warms my heart
That wooden statue is huge in the game. Does this mean we can sell furniture we craft like the bar stools, tub and toilet? (Did you just say NO in the video!? DANG IT EA!) Ps. yes, EA needs to add a lot more dancing...couple slow dance, ballet (with the hobby & afterschool activity) salsa etc. Come on EA it's been SIX YEARS!
I miss slow dance so much.
Also we need more sports.
It'll probably come out in a "Delicate Dancing" or something with a few old timey clothes, corsets, ballgownz etc. And the sports one too. I can see it now. "Simtastic Sports!" with all of football, and catch lmao
Can't wait to see Alice knitting things for herself, V, and their baby /pleading eyes
I love that sims can't knit from the baskets if I put them out for deco. I like that I will put the basket in the inventory for ONLY the sims I want to knit. Now let's get EA to give us a new tea set with sipping tea from actual china (pinky up, hehe) from the same locations as the knitting locations.
thank you so much for always going into so much detail with your reviews, Mollie. they're so helpful and i love how you delve into every aspect of a pack.
thanks for reviewing packs so adorably, i’m gonna buy this one! 🥺
I'm really excited for this pack. It's going to be a great BDAY present to myself tomorrow.
Hope you have a great birthday
@@official_jade9639 Thanks
@@Follow_a_bee Thanks and right back at you.
It would make sense if you started the knitting skill then of course you knit more slowly because your learning, but maybe when you’re a higher level, you knit faster because your more advance. I love all the build/buy items and the gameplay ♥️✨
I'm really excited to play this later today. Wish they had made the scarf as a separate item and that there was plain hat. The animal beanies are cute but I don't see myself ever using them on adult sims.
I wish there was an interaction that the grand parents could hold the toddlers in the rocking chair but i still love how the game looks
I love the reference to Taylor's new album
I wasn’t sure if I wanted the pack but you got me at the moment you brought Taylor Swift to the conversation
4:16 I feel you with the English rant - I’m English and it annoys me so much that everything in the sims is in American English. Can someone please mod this? Please.
Omg your sims are to die for!!!
Knitting is hard takes long too make a baby blanket I was taught by my mom May she r.i.p. but it’s worth it too see what you’ve created and great too gift too friends at a baby shower well that’s what I do 🙃👍🏼
"frog" is a real term :) Im so excited for this. Im a knitter myself and I want to make a young adult sim with a craft room, aka - me. I do wish it took more time to level up, as it takes a lot of practice in real life.
It may sound stupid but during all these really depressing historic mishappenings I was really down and watching Luv2Knit gameplays made me in the mood for some creative work and infused me with some life - yes, Luv2Knit I said 😆
I'm surprised you didn't say anything about the little Yarny mention since that's like been such a huge favorite game of yours
Wish you had to donate like 20 items instead of 5. GIVE US A CHALLENGE! lol But I am happy about the pack. Always need something new.
Your grandma is a saint
I wish cats would play with the little yarn balls, that would be super adorable
They do! 😊
M D really? I never noticed, thanks
Brooke yeah, I think it was Sim Guru Conor who shared a gif of it, and he also mentioned it on the livestream! Super cute!
Not gonna lie, this pack is gonna get a lot of use with me. Anyone who plays families needs something to do for grandparents, and stay at home parents. My gameplay has already benefited from having this pack. It’s not a great way to make a living but it works perfect for Sims who need an easy hobby for extra cash...
I haven’t knit a babygrow or onesie yet, but it requires shaping techniques that would probably be intermediate. Doesn’t seem any more challenging than a sweater, unless we consider adding snaps between the legs which might knock it up to advanced but just barely. I don’t see a lot of long-sleeved onesies being knitted in the community IRL, most of the time it’s sweaters or sleeveless numbers that go over a thinner shirt so the baby doesn’t get too hot.
The special friend is yarny i think based on the livestream and the sweater curse is the relationship hit with giving a sweater to a significant other.
To be honest, as a knitter, yes socks and sweaters are a staple, but they aren’t made that often because they are complicated. I would have much preferred a lot less socks (maybe just only one or two pairs of socks) and instead some blankets we could put on the beds or throw blankets for the sofa. As a knitter, I make way more scarves, blankets, toys, hats.
I hope if we get a baby update we can rock babies and toddlers to sleep in the rocking chair.
James found out that you can try things on in CAS and when your sim leaves, you are still wearing the items. Your sims can literally nick objects from CAS 😂
I watched another simmer, can't remember which one now, but they showed its locked and i don't think they could put it on. I James had a glitch or maybe a mod, he did day it was strange
@@M_eshii ahhh well I don't plan on buying this money grab of theirs anyway. All the stuff in the pack are remakes of older furniture. I highly doubt any of us actually voted for that furniture. We already had mid century stuff, why vote for it again. I don't know about you but all the people I have see talk about it or I have asked about it, voted for grandparents like aesthetic not young adult like what we got. I think EA placated us by letting us think we were voting, but in actuality, they already had the pack figured out mostly. Maybe a couple of CAS items we voted on made it in, but honestly, I don't trust them because they have a history of doing shady things like this since they launched Sims 4 back in 2013-2014 when Andrew Wilson took over as their CEO. They also shortly after that shut down a TON of their FTP games as well, and THAT is when the Sims franchise turned into a money grab. This new CEO has destroyed a legacy that Trip envisioned when he stated EA back in the 90's and it's sad to think that ONE money hungry person has the ability to ruin an entire game legacy... I think the Sims legacy died with 3 imo.
@@smexyphysics I'm new to sims so im not up with previous games and i don't buy every pack, even though it would make the game a little more enjoyable. But yes i do agree, a lot of online simmers seem to want a certain amount of things like more game play for elders which wasnt even really given besides an ineteraction with a rocking chair. I agree with the build items too, seems all a bit same same. The whole point of other Packs should be a different aesthetic and this one should have had more elder like things. It is a shame they had to turn to a money grab system to get more money, cause lets not forget the pack that added stuff to your game only if you had cats and dogs, what a rip off
@@M_eshii The funniest part of the my first pets stuff pack, is that it was they were objects that SHOULD have been included in the cats and dogs pack initially. They separated it out to make MORE money. Because it came out just a month or two after Cats and Dogs and it was literally identical recolored stuff.. yeah I am so done with EA. I love The sims and Sims 2 and even 3 even though you can't play with ALL your packs at one time, but it was still more enjoyable than 4. I can't wait for Paralives to come out though.
This title is the way to get a swifties attention
The aspiration trait prevents you from getting the sweater curse when gifting a sweater to a romantic partner (the sweater curse is a well known joke/fear in the irl knitting community). The companion from another land is NOT the forbidden sweater. It’s yarny. The sweater is just that.. a sweater.. sorry jumper.
I like when skills are acquired fast 😮😮😮
Random question can you sell carved pumpkins from the spooky day pack
I love the cruddy comments about the gifts and sales of the finished projects. Any crafter can tell you how unappreciated crafted gifts can be.
Yes frogging is an actual knitting term, it’s when you rip your knitting out (unravel your project) I know that it’s a weird term but it’s a real thing! (I am a knitter)
9:36 it never occurred to me you could use the ladder into a basement. It looks a bit out of place, but I bet someone comes up with a really creative build to use it like that in a shell challenge or something.
They should add crochet as a mini update to add more things that where voted for.
I see sims. I see Taylor. I click 🤷🏻♀️
welcome to my life
EnglishSimmer 🤩🥳
This is so cute and adorable
I clicked solely because of that title haha 🖤
Sweater Curse: www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/the-sweater-curse (wiki also explains it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweater_curse) Basically, if you knit a sweater for the one you love, your love is doomed.
I just dunno if that's what the team meant by it? I hope it is but I have no clue
Me: googling babygrow.
As a crocheter, the smaller the stitches the harder it is. Tiny things are hard to make
This family seems so much fun!!! Do you have a LP with them??
Looove the caption of the video❤️😅
They talked about the fabricated items in the livestream and said it was more complicated than it seems but could be modded.
I only want the one decoration of a loom but not enough to spend $10
Lol don’t worry frogging is a real term for knitters and I think crocheters too.
Can you knit scarves?
If there’s no scarves, I demand scarves
there's no scarves, they're just attached to the jumpers :(
EnglishSimmer Thanks for clearing that up but Boo Sims! Sorry but I love my scarves and I like to see a billion creative designs come from them like tilted rainbow or black and white checkered
I love this pack mostly build buy I usually love Create a sim but not this time!
What do you guys think the next exspsion pack is going to be? I think it is going to be sims 4 supernatural with Werewolves, Fairies and Genies. Please reply with your answer instead of just liking it please.
I think maybe something with winter sports and hotels.
I agree, I think it’s going to be a winter vacation/motel pack based on the most recent community survey questions.
its def not a supernatural pack
Can the other knitters in get together groups knit without th a knitting-bag/box, or will they get one there automatically? Or won't they just do it? I didn't se anyone else knitting in the group.
Could it be that they chose to make skill go up so fast because the time you are an elder is not that long?
I wish I got my money back when I have to frog a real project...
You gifted a black and white beanie but it turned into a white and blue beanie? I’m guessing that’s a bug
Is metal music coming to base game?
YESSS STREAM FOLKLORE YALL
This spoiled what V’s and Alice’s kid looks like!!!! Sad. I wish you used a different household :(
Nah this was just a random child from cas
EnglishSimmer I’m still giggling about their name.
Am I the only one that hates the word/name "plopsy"?
like the word "plop" just... ew.
dunno about TS4 but in Simcity you plop down buildings etc so I'm assuming it's based off that
No, I get it 🤣😫
Yeeeee this is cute
It’s a little weird that you can’t sell perishables, cause people sell cookies on Etsy but makes since I guess
Ok, so I bought this last night (friday night) and played it today. I do NOT like that they knit autonomously. Continuously. I have to take the bag out of their inventory to make them stop because once I realized it was happening they had four projects started, they didn't autonomously continue a project already begun only start new ones. Also out of several items (like 10) placed on plopsy, only one sold.
haay is earlyyyy
Is the Metal Radio Station a game update or Specific to Knitting?
specific to knitting 😊
EnglishSimmer 🤩 wow. thank you so much for the clarification.
Plumbella sent me
Hi mollie :)
If play your sims4 same your old sims3 season elsa and jack forst in your sims4 plz
i feel like the rug should be a lower skill level, its basically just a big scarf. it would be time consuming but not complicated. but im coming from a crocheting background not knitting.
Hi!
did you just upload two videos in a day?! woahhhhh.. very disappointed with this pack. like Plumbella said this pack, tiny living and eco lifestyle could have really been in one pack
I don't think locking different colour of the same item is realistic, after all you just change the colour of the wool where as different patterns is enough of a difference to be worthwhile
I agree. Maybe if the lower levels were solid color swatches and the higher levels unlocked patterned swatches (changing colors within a project can be considered an advanced skill) it would make *some* sense. As is, it just seems forced.
I might be misunderstanding, but, like if your sim makes a green hat, you want them to be able to choose to wear to as a red hat or a yellow hat? That could be more convenient gameplay, but it's definitely not realistic
@@pelahnar4 Oh no, no. Not quite that. I could possibly be the one misunderstanding... I've been multi-tasking as I watch videos on the new pack today... but it appeared to me that additional colors were unlocked as you level up.
I have no issue needing to knit one of each color to unlock that color, but it seems silly if, for example, a blue hat requires level 2 but a red hat requires level 3.
I should probably watch again to clear that up, but I'll be getting the pack tomorrow anyway. 😉🤷♀️
@@furyarn1049 gotcha. I have no idea whether that's the case or not
It's a shame that you can add it to wardrobe and then you can wear it, I would prefer if you could click on the hat and click wear, so you wear that specific hat if that makes sense, or else you can make one hat and have 3 people in the household wearing it.
I don't understand how they could consider the music IN THE GAME a problem?! That's just stupid. Sigh
Your facecam is so small
First 😍
Well done!
38th to like!
Early
Third :)
It sounds horrible I know but I stopped listening to Taylor swift when I started listening to Girl In Red
