The new Sims 4 Stuff Pack winks at heavy knitting


On forums and social media, some Sims fans wonder: Why a heavy metal station with The sims 4The stylish bundle of knitting stuff? Most people don’t equate the two. I can see why. Knitting is often seen as a quiet and solitary hobby … and metal is metal – loud and cheeky. But developer Maxis put them together for the new package released today.

And no, it is not a coincidence. According to the developers, Sims who listen to the metal radio station while weaving will get bonuses on the ship. In fact, it also makes sense, if you are in the know. The addition of the metal station to the Knitting Stuff Pack is a nod to the Finnish Heavy Metal Knitting World Championship, a crazy event that debuted last year.

As a result, both metal and fabric are huge in Finland. Twenty-six bands, with a knitting advantage, applied for the championship. Twelve bands from eight countries made it to the final, each starring a knitting leader who had to knit during the performance. The images of the event certainly do not disappoint. Unfortunately, a follow-up event in 2020 was canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 Heavy Metal Weaving World Championship was scheduled to take place this month in Finland, so it is fitting that there is now a tribute to the event in The Sims 4 4.

“We have been wanting to do this in The sims 4 for a while and I’ve been looking for several opportunities to do it ” The sims 4 Sound designer Drew Boles said earlier this year on the game’s forum. “At first glance, a package focused on knitting may seem like a strange choice, but when we learned about the Heavy Metal Knitting Competition last year in Finland, we knew that it actually fit perfectly.”

Although Sims can play the air guitar while listening to the metal radio station, they hypocrisy actually knitting while playing air guitar, like in the Heavy Metal Knitting Competition. It’s not much about weaving visual changes while listening to the station, but be aware that it revitalizes your Sims’ projects.
