Sims 2 Free Time
Saturday, November 29, 2008
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
Tinkering allows Sims to tinker various electronic devices in the house and also restoring a car to sell it for profit. The restored car can also be used as the family car with the ability to paint it a different colour daily.
