I honestly am perplexed by the popularity of Tiny Living. It's one of my least favorite stuff packs because I really don't feel compelled to use anything from it. The murphy bed is one of the least exciting "premium gameplay object" additions to a stuff pack as well. I am glad it got it half off!
Nifty Knitting has already been so much fun! It is satisfying to have a sim knit their wardrobe. It somehow makes it more special. The addition of Plopsy is SO SATISFYING! I do Ebay and Etsy in real life and there is something so great about hearing the chime of a sale. I was just as excited by my first Plopsy chime as a real life sale chime! It sounds so much like the one for Etsy too! I can't wait until I am higher in the skill to start making the adorable toys and onesies and so forth! This pack is one of my favorites!
I just bought Tiny Living in a sale and haven't got Nifty Knitting yet, but I think Nifty Knitting is better because it comes with a new hobby. I'm not interested in the Tiny Living boosts for small homes.
This was a really difficult choice for me. I absolutely love Tiny Living and I use it all the time. The decor is amazing but so is it in Nifty Knitting. I really enjoy them both equally if I'm being honest because I feel like they did a really great job overall with Nifty Knitting but I love building and living in the tiny homes (especially for those skill boosts with children). If you're not interested in the tiny home lot that provides skill boosts then I would say Nifty Knitting.
I could not vote, because I really like them both. But... I think if I were not a knitter myself I wouldn't be as enthusiastic about Nifty Knitting, so would probably go with Tiny Living.
I do like the furniture a lot in Tiny Living - great colours and designs, and I get a lot of usage out of them. But, because I'm an avid knitter, I am enjoying seeing my sims doing knitting and buying/selling on Plopsy.
Tiny Living to me is the very best stuff pack.
I love to see how small can I build my homes.
I also love the Murphy's Bed (after my sim upgrades it) & the All-in-One TV/Radio/Bookcase.
I would prefer Tiny Living over Nifty Knitting for long-term gameplay, because the building aspects and challenges it brings to the table guarantee more versatility and creativity for a wide variety of Simmers. Even though I'm not a builder in The Sims by any means, I absolutely love the process of building cute, small homes for my Sims and reap the benefits that arrive with them. Nifty Knitting was a nice addition to my existing save files, especially for my Elder Sims, but I don't see myself using things and activities from this pack very often.
Really can’t choose between the two. Tiny living is a great pack for builders and nifty knitting is a nice little pack for gameplay so it depends what you want more. If not I would say wait until both are in a sale and buy both.
I say Nifty Knitting because not only does it give gameplay but you can knit decor items to so if your not big on building but like gamplay and more decor items it's a good mix of both
but if your more of a builder than i'd go with Tiny living
Tiny Living. I see it as an essential stuff pack. Love having the ability to build tiny homes and the challenge that brings and the build-buy is really nice and I use it's the only stuff pack I use items from regularly.
The murphy bed is also really useful, pretty often I'll just sneak it into the wall of certain lots like a bookshelf so my sim has a bed if they need it and I can fit more roommates into my sims home without having to dedicate an entire room to them! Also for smaller homes it's nice to just make a living room with the murphy bed as a couch which converts.
100% recommend Tiny Living. It's the only stuff pack I paid full price for and I don't regret it at all. Nifty Knitting is ok aswell I guess if you like that kind of thing but really you're paying $10 for a rocking chair and a knitting skill, the rest of the items aren't very usable.
i love Tiny living it adds a difficulty setting in the game, I've yet to have a family of four in a Tiny house. I wish we had bunk beds. then i could do it. I like Knitting , they can mak either own clothes and if I manage it well enough they can chat and knit or listen to the radio and knit.

Tiny Living if you like building.
Nifty Knitting if you want gameplay. (Like crafts is a plus.)
