Mod: Functional Spinning Wheel
Sul-sul! I'm back with another functional object mod. :) This is an animated spinning wheel that allows you to craft thread and yarn, optionally using the wool from Cottage Living.
If you have Cottage Living or Nifty Knitting, the recipes will now require Thread and Yarn instead of Wool. You can also purchase these objects from Buy Mode if you'd rather not craft them.
There is an additional optional package called Aroura's Curse. This will allow spellcasters to "Cast Spinning Wheel Curse" on newborns in the bassinet, which will curse them to prick their finger on a spinning wheel when they become teens. Thankfully, pricking their finger will only cause them to immediately fall asleep. Make sure to have a spinning wheel on the same lot as them to see it happen autonomously!
Requirements
While technically this mod is technically base game compatible, the thread and yarn created will only be decorative if you don't have Cottage Living or Nifty Knitting, so it's recommended to have one or the other. The optional Aroura's Curse package requires Realm of Magic and the XML Injector (if you don't already have a copy, you can get it here.)
One Known Limitation: Sometimes when crafting, the progress bar won't progress - but the interaction is still progressing. It takes from 20-35 minutes to spin a spool of thread or ball of yarn.
Thank you to all and I hope you have a lovely day! ~ JS

I love this mod, but it shows up in my last exception file. Will the spinning wheel mod be updated anytime soon?
I love your spinning wheel but unfortunately it's causing a game error for me. Any chance of an update to this amazing item in the future?

What a wonderful mod for my ultimate decades challenge. I was wondering though - she has white wool in her inventory, and the cost is changed to 0, but she still needs 100$ to begin. They stay in her account, but she cant spin unless she has it.
the spinning wheel has no animations. the sim finds a nearby object to sit on and the finished product is just automatically created in their inventory instantly. it overrides the ingame objects properly and can be used for knitting and stuff, it just has no animations which is a little disappointing. i have all packs installed so there shouldnt be any missing functionality
Hi, there definitely should be animations. :) Did you slot a chair into the spinning wheel so they have a place to sit?
Thanks for the answers, the reason the modders items weren't replacing the basegame were due to a separate mod I had at the same time :)
I was wondering if the yarn produced from the spinning wheel can be used when knitting items?
I believe that's the intention but I haven't tried it yet.
Hello, I have created Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese translations for your mod. Thanks for making such a fun mod, it's so cute. https://www.patreon.com/posts/functional-wheel-102326270
Hi, I love this! Have run into a bit of a problem, tho. All colours show up except white yarn. It will allow white thread, but not the yarn. :(
I can't make it work in my game. It keeps throwing exceptions any time I try to use it. It places fine but when anyone uses it, it throws an exception. Also people keep trying to use it as a table, setting dinner down on it and similar. Please advise!

You are utterly amazing. I’m having so much fun with your mods. You are so inspiring. Thank you.
I love this! Thank you!!!
Hi dear! Your work is awsome! Good job! I just want to tell you a little bug, when the sim yearns there are no actions, he just put the yarn in inventory. Is it normal?
Can't help, but having the same problem.
Hi! Love this mod so much for my homestead. Thank you! Just one point, I seem to be unable to find the option to spin White Yarn?
