I'd love to see:
Hobbies
1. Different styles of Dance- Ballet, ballroom, salsa, tango, etc... I'd be happy with any and all
2. Sewing and clothing design.
3. Collecting for children (and the young at heart) like baseball cards and stamps
4. Jewelry making-I'd be thrilled if they could wear and show off what they'd made
5. Sculpting - Not just traditional sculptors wheel/potters wheel, but blow torches and metal, shrubbery, Ice, etc...
6. Cycling- I know this is controversial because of the whole vehicle yes or no thing, but a great part of childhood was getting my first bike and riding all over the neighborhood with my friends. I'd love my sim kids to be able as well.
7. A chemistry (child style) set for the kids to learn and create wonders with. I know this is more an item than a hobby, but I think its both really. They could hunt for plants and herbs and metals to use in their chemistry experiments.
8. There's probably more but I'm suddenly drawing a blank.
Skills
1. the skills associated with the hobbies items of course
2. swimming- getting better at swimming could open up opportunities and new swimming style abilities as leveled
3. Nutrition- Learning the nutrition skill and making healthier life choices could give them an age extender, or change their appearance, make them never get sick again, lead to a new job as nutritionist or health profession of some sort.
There are so many great things already in game like rock collecting and harvesting and the like, I'd love to see a skill set added that would take advantage of as many of the existing features as possible. Its why I thought the Collecting hobbies would be great because your sims would have a goal to work towards rather than just a cash grab.
