The Sims 4 - Freetime concept

New hobbies system: Sims can choose the desired hobby to enjoy from 12 different categories, including couisine, nature, tinkering, science, fitness, music and dance, arts and crafts, fame, occult, games, sports, movies and literature and others!

This can unlock new interactions, moodlets and rewards.

New items:


  • Sewing machine: two versions: classic Singer one, portable electric one
  • Pottery station: two versions: childs and teenager and above
  • Glassblowing station: to craft jewelry and perfumes if you have flowers
  • Archery/axe throwing target: to play both outdoor activities in one item
  • Volleyball net for swimming pool: to play volleyball in the swimming pool, along with other interactions
  • Junk car for restoration: only for selling and woo-hoo spot.
  • Junk bicycle for restoration: unlike the car, Sims can sell it and ride it
  • Functional disco ball: like "The Sims 3 - 70s80s90s SP".
  • Telescopes will arrive in four different versions: normal, futuristic, antique and steampunk-like design. It will be tied with the science hobby and aliens can have new interactions!
  • Soccer goal will be tied with sports hobby.
  • Finally, drums will return, tied with the music and dance hobby.


Additional, water slides for swimming pool could return in three different models: normal, transparent and wood with metal

New skills:


  • Sewing
  • Pottery
  • Glassblowing (tied with perfume making)
  • Astronomy


New aquariums and new interactions to small ones, including feed, clean and upgrade parts like thermostat, filter and light. Also, the big aquarium for TS2 will be included. Large aquariums like Spa Day or Dine Out ones only requires upgrade it integrated controller to automatically feed and clean. Interactions with aquariums will be tied with nature hobby.

New building tools


  • Decorative drainpipes in three different versions: plastic, steel and aluminium. You can now drag the drainpipes from the desired heigh!
  • Spiral stairs in four different versions: wood, glass, metal and stone.
  • Round swimming pool option
  • Two new ladders


BG updates:


  • Spiral stairs in wood only.
  • Drainpipes in aluminium, like Get Together ones.
  • Telescope in normal version.
  • Water slide, normal version
  • Hobby system for all the objects of the game, including DLCs.
  • Astronomy skill
  • Round swimming pool
  • Sims can now watch the waves of the sea and birds, both tied with nature hobby



  • Perfumes are tied to glassblowing only in that you need to store them in glass bottles. Maybe one of the options for glassblowing would be to create perfume bottles. But for perfumes, I think it would be lovely if we could get a perfume distillery.
    Would also like a fencing dummy so sims could practice their fencing skills.
