I agree that all of these missing activities are serious omissions, but I would also really like to see the addition of Logic, or at least Logic-based activities like playing chess, using the observatory and the microscope etc, added to the system. It's an egregious oversight that it was not included. Logic has been a skill/activity in the Sims franchise since Sims 1, and it ought to be there. Otherwise what are my genius sims supposed to do for fun? Reading, playing games (card games, and Don't Wake the Llama as well as chess) should also be included in the hobbies/ skills section of the like/dislikes feature. Fitness is too broad a category, and there should also be separate categories for swimming, working out with equipment or the TV, playing soccer or basketball etc. In fact, I had a sim work out with the TV, and it didn't seem to register as a like or a dislike, so that feature from Fitness Stuff seems to have been missed, or not properly tagged or something. More unique activities for kids would also be a bonus, like a separate category for Voidcritters (not just the generic Video-gaming skill), for the Puppet Theatre, and the kids' art/ activtiy and science tables. They've certainly added enough variations on those art activity tables to the game over the years that there ought to be a separate category for them.

Yeah I agree, the skills are to too broad!
I think that EA need to separate more skills like they did in snowy escape (skiing level up skiing + fitness). That was an awesome, I love when they make them into separate skills! They could add things like Skating, Swimming, Basket, Soccer, Boxing, Running, Yoga that would level up the separate skill + fitness. Fitness could be just the gym equipment’s + tv exercise.
They could add this separate skills as options to the Favorites/Dislikes section.
They could do the same thing with logic skills, chess could level up chess + logic.
(And why not divide the wellness skill into separate skills, haha it´s so weird that you massage sims and become awesome at yoga at the same time… ???).
Playing with the puppet theatre could level up acting (if having get famous + 10 skill creativity), so they could add acting as a option for kids as well.
By the way, I love this update, hope they expand on it!!! 😃 😃 😃
