Also new, more customized swimming pools can be designed. This expansion pack also enables those who choose to avail of a new cheat within the "bool_prop" cheat called 'The Sim Modder' allowing you to make a variety of changes to your Sim such as filling all skill bars and turning NPC's or yourself into a Vampire, or curing Vampirism.

The Sims 2 Seasons expansion pack introduces two new game play concepts to The Sims 2 series: weather and seasons. Each season lasts for approximately five Sim days and players have the option to alter their order of progression. Sims are able to build snowmen in Winter, rake fallen leaves in Autumn, jump in puddles during Spring and occasionally experience heatstroke in Summer.
Besides being a visually interactive addition, each season enhances Sim's attributes in certain ways: summer improves their ability to build and attain relationships among friends, Autumn quickens their skill building and job promotion, winter helps to tighten family bonds through a variety of activities (having a snowball fight, for example) and spring augments romantic relationships.

There are ten hobbies in The Sims 2: FreeTime. Each offers different unlockable benefits or new activities and also a pass to enter into secret lots. Doing an activity which is related to the specific hobby increases enthusiasm to that hobby. Enthusiasm can even briefly be gained as a Sim sleeps and dreams about a hobby activity. As enthusiasm increases for each hobby, there are a number of new actions introduced to the Sim in that arena, this includes reading about the hobby in the paper, jogging, hiking and getting protein shakes from the fridge, blogging about your hobby, teaching about the hobby and more. These rewards and benefits will stay constant for your Sim provided the hobby enthusiasm is kept high enough to warrant them. The highest reward is to be in 'The Zone' .

Arts & Crafts
The Arts & Crafts hobby centers around activities that are related to creating and discussing artwork, such as painting, and introduces two new Talent Badges: Pottery and Sewing.

Cuisine
Cooking, watching cooking shows and having meals are activities related to culinary. Cuisine hobby allows Sims to unlock new foods: chips, cheese and appetizers. Moreover, Sims may now enter a food contest by submitting a dish to be judged.

Film & literature
The novel writing system on the computer has been revamped allowing players to choose the cover, title and plot. Players may now choose which book for their Sim to read instead of reading a single generic book. Sims can also discuss books they have read, and a variety of films can now be viewed on the television.

Fitness
Other than working out, swimming or performing Yoga, Sims with a high enough interest in Fitness can go jogging, get protein drinks out of their fridge, and can use an exercise bike.

Gaming
A variety of digital games can now be purchased and are playable on Sims' computers and consoles. All of these games are actual EA games, namely Spore, MySims, FIFA 08, The Sims 3 and Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Other games such as pool and chess also contribute to the hobby enthusiasm.

Music & Dance
Sims can now play the violin and the synthesizer as well as the piano (and guitar, bass and drums if University is installed). They can also practice ballet on the ballet bar, enter dance contests and also teach their toddlers nursery rhymes.

Nature
Nature-loving Sims find gardening, fishing, bug collecting and birdwatching interesting. If your Sim goes hiking there is a chance they will find an unusual bug which will start a bug collection. This can be hung on a wall or put on a table. When hiking your Sims also run the risk of being followed home by angry swarms of bees.

Science
Science hobby items gained with Freetime include an ant farm and new telescope interactions. Sims can now choose to search for planets, constellations and UFOs. Sims can also choose to summon aliens. When they use this interaction as an adult, they get abducted and impregnated with an alien baby, regardless of their gender.

Sports
Sims can play one-on-one penalty shoot-outs and shoot hoops on the basketball hoop. Sims can also toss football or play catch to each other to increase their interest in sports. However, Sims can not play full soccer, football or basketball games.

Tinkering

Sims can own cats, dogs,womrats,fish, and birds. Pets have motives like their Sim counterparts. Sims and pets are similar except for the absence of the "Environment" motive, which "Scratching" replaces in cats and "Chewing" in dogs. Sims may also train their pets to do various tricks. Pets can follow one of three career paths: Security, Showbiz and Services. When pets get promoted, various pet-related "unlockables" are made available along with a code so players can share these items with others.

Pets have three life stages: Puppy/Kitten (which lasts four days), Adult (which lasts 25 days for cats & small dogs; 21 days for large dogs), and Elder (which lasts 5–10 days). The length of a pet's elder hood is selected at random, however there is an aspiration reward object which will extend the pet's life by a few days with each use.
Pets are able to breed, and doing so will produce a litter. The maximum number of pets in a household is six. A litter consists of 1-4 puppies or kittens. The number of puppies or kittens is dependent on the number of Sims and pets currently in the house. Players can play with up to eight Sims or six pets at one time, although one can only have a total of ten Sims and pets in a household altogether.
