Sim Hobbies

I don't post very often, but I thought this could potentially be a fun discussion. :) What kinds of hobbies do your sims have?

I think it's realistic that on top of making and keeping friends, working on their lifetime wish and any relevant skills, as well as getting married and having children, my sims have hobbies. I also find it helpful for when I'm not sure what to do with my sims if they suddenly have free time.

Right now I have a couple in Sims University. Fern is an animal lover, good, hopeless romantic, shy and vegetarian. Since she's an animal lover, she's taking a science and medicine degree because she wants to be a veterinarian thanks to MissyHissy's modded career (I'm pretending the degree's necessary :p ). To excel in her degree, I gave her douglasveiga's strawberry plant to tend. Surprisingly, it's pretty fun tending that plant. I was thinking that when Fern returns from university, it might be fun to try out the canning station. If she likes it, she could have a new hobby! She also enjoys spending time with her cat and dog. Finally, she enjoys reading romance novels. If she ever makes it to elder status, I was thinking I could have her write a romance novel when she retires.

Her boyfriend Preston is athletic, loves the heat, loves the outdoors, loves to swim and party animal. He strikes me as a surfer dude, so I was thinking he could surf and snorkel. He's also taken a liking to Fern's dog, so that could be a hobby. But winter's approaching so I'm not exactly sure how he could spend his time. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also I would love to hear about your sims and their hobbies. It's nice to make time for them to enjoy their favourite pastimes.
