I love hobbies in the game, especially creative ones! I always want more skills and hobbies added to the game. Some that I loved that I think came with TS2 freetime were Pottery and Ballet. The pottery was amazing and sims could make really pretty creations. I liked the Ballet hobby a lot but it was stuck to a Ballet Barre, and I would like to see that skill come back but come back better. Although it would be cool to have like a Barre fitness class in the gyms!I also think glass blowing could be a really fun new skill that would be great for marketable sims. And I just like creative hobbies that allow sims to make personal decorative items for their homes. What are some other hobbies that could bring a lot of gameplay and fun to the game?

I would love sewing. With an addition of a challenge similar to Simple Living, where you won't be able to create new outfits unless you've made or bought your clothes.Pottery would be good too! And sculpting.

Car restoration and collecting.

I would love sewing and pottery as creative hobbies. Sports like soccer (sims actually playing together) , ballet or karate would also be great. Perhaps these could also be a hobby for children like scouts. "somewhsome;c-17949213" wrote:I would love sewing.

I just want the pool table back

Agreed! New hobbies are always welcome. I would especially love horse riding, origami, drawing, and more dance styles e.g. ballet, ballroom, slow dancing etc. I would also love more musical instruments e.g. lute, harp etc. I think archery, fencing, and pottery would be fun too.

Ooh! I like archery!! That would be so awesome.
I agree that harp would be a lovely instrument to add, and dancing needs to be updated. I really want my sims to be able to slow dance. Ballroom dancing would be great, and also swing dancing!! They could make some really cool animations for that.
I agree, I need the pool table!!
I remember having my handy sims do car restoration. That was pretty cool. It was also fun for parents and teens to do that together. And yes, we need a net for our soccer ball so sims can practice goal shots.
All great ideas!!

Handiness needs a lot more, and I feel game development should be a skill rather than something added to programming. A lot goes on in games. It's programming, storytelling, and an art form.

Basically use Sims 2 Free Time as your bible for this. It's the best.

I don't have the time to fully answer this right now but I essentially want all the hobbies. I'd love a hobby pack. Free Time was one of the TS2 packs that I played the most. I'd really want a full pack with a lot to do. Is it a hobby? I probably want it.
