Nifty Knitting Bug

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.82.99.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Together, City Living, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, Parenthood and Nifty Knitting.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Buy/get a knitting basket and place it into a sims inventory (either by dragging or asking the sim to put it into their inventory themselves). Then, click the basket and click the 'knit' option listed. It should bring you to a list of options you can knit.
What happens when the bug occurs? It doesn't matter what skill in knitting my sim is or what game I'm playing (whether it's a newly created one or an old one), all the knitting projects I try to knit say that they're locked. I can click on the project and it'll take the money required to knit it from my sims money, but my sim won't actually be able to knit anything. (From what I can tell, Plopsy still works fine).
What do you expect to see? I expect to see various projects I can knit (which I currently can), and they should be unlocked if I've reached the required level to do so (which currently doesn't work)? Then, I expect to be able to knit a project (with the required money taken from my sim/s) and be able to knit it and do other various things with it.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

There (should be) a screenshot of my game below. I hope it helps in any way!

@k8minion The unlock icon just indicates if the object appears in CAS so if they don't unlock once you added it to the wardrobe (I think that's how it works), the you probably have this bug: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NKSP-Can-t-add-knitted-clothing-to-wardrobe/td-p/10468535

How does it look for objects ? IIRC things that you can't knit yet don't actually appear in the menu.

So does the action just fall out of queue for you since you say you can't knit anything ? Have you tried if it works if you sit down first ?

You say that your sims can't knit anything when you click on the basket in a sim's inventory.  But can they knit if you have them sit down first and click knit on the seat?  Or just click on some type of nearby seating and select the knit option.  Even with no knitting skill, you should get a knit clothing choice of beanies or animal clothing (if you have CotL). Clicking on one of them should open the selection panel and you pick one to knit.  Reason I ask is to determine if the issue is only with the basket in inventory or with knitting in general.

 

Hope this helps.

I have the same issue. No matter what level I am, everything is locked. No mods, no custom content.
