Favorite hobbies are randomly assigned to every character in the game, making them one of the very few character traits which the player cannot adjust in the course of normal gameplay. Characters can potentially max out their enthusiasm for any hobby, but everyone has one particular field that they're particularly excited about and can build enthusiasm for much more quickly. Sims who get "in the zone" gain a glowing white aura and become incredibly productive, capable of blissfully working in the garden, at a crafting table, or under a broken down automobile while the hours whiz by around them. Reaching maximum enthusiasm has its own reward, however: characters engaged in hobby they truly love can get so focussed that their normal Need bars will deteriorate much more slowly than normal. Enthusiasm dwindles over time if sims stop actively pursuing these interests, though the unlocked perks are never revoked. Sims who have a good time partaking in those activities will steadily gain enthusiasm for the associated hobby, and as their interest level builds, they can unlock access to secret items, community club houses, and special benefits. Hobbies With FreeTime installed, nearly every existing leisure activity in the game is recategorized into one of ten different hobbies. EA's official recommendation is that players download and install individual patches for each expansion that they own. Due to the modular nature of the Sims 2 expansion packs, the available patch for FreeTime does not necessarily include bug fixes for any previously released entry in the series. FreeTime requires the base Sims 2 game to run, and although it can be run without access to any of the preceding expansion packs in the series, its broad range of content for all character age groups integrates well into all of them.
New hobby pursuits such as tinkering, athletics, and cuisine are front and center here, with virtually every existing facet in the game expanded with new interactions, but it also includes major enhancements to the Aspiration system and aging mechanics in the game. Overview With major destinations like college campuses, downtown social centers, retail stores, home businesses, and vacation resorts already addressed in the six major expansion packs that preceded it, The Sims 2: FreeTime is all about providing sims with new interests and activities in the places they already go.
