Rename upcoming pack & create standalone Hobbies Pack

Question

I was pretty excited for the new upcoming pack because of promised focus on hobbies based on the pack's name. I never set expectations high, but I won't lie I expected hobbies from Hobby focused pack. Even with the idea of turning hobbies into businesses, it still lacks hobbies. "New" activities even use same old animations.

Please, consider renaming this pack by atleast removing Hobbies from the name. It sets false expectations. We could literally name Eco Lifestyle as "Eco Lifestyle & Hobbies" since it has more activites to do. I'm afraid this might as well affect chances of actual hobby expansion pack.

So while I'm at it, consider making actual Hobbies / Freetime Expansion Pack. We don't need new world, we don't CAS or BB, we just need new activites, hobbies and animations.

I agree. There are basically no new hobbies added - it’s all businesses. Plus the fact that the world is only two neighborhoods… it’s extremely disappointing and underwhelming as an EP.

This could have been a refresh or an Open for Business Game Pack.

I would like to see how the hobby system works with other activities from previous packs. Would be nice if they update some of them to give more variations of craftables and interactions/ activities.

I agree. It feels like the pack was actually meant to be a refresh of Get to Work. So maybe it should be that instead of a full pack release. Spa Day has so far been the only pack to get a refresh, and no other packs have had this treatment. Patching the upcoming pack AND the pre-order bonus content directly into the Get to Work pack for free would add a lot of extra value and functionality.
