Cross-stitch
A Sim cross-stitching.
Cross-stitch is a skill in The Sims 4: Cottage Living. Practicing this skill allows Sims to create multiple different cross-stitch pieces.
This skill allows Sims to create multiple different cross-stitch pieces. Sims can cross stitch specific patterns, or if their skill level is high enough, they can use a photo to "Stitch from Reference..." which, similar to the "Paint from Reference..." interaction from the Painting skill, allows Sims to create a cross-stitch piece that depicts a photo taken by the player. If The Sims 4: Nifty Knitting Stuff is installed, sims with a high knitting skill will learn the cross-stitch skill faster.
