Skills/hobbies missing on Likes and Dislikes

Oh by the way, does anyone know, if not doing the liked activity for some time will get a negative buff like "it's been a long time since I played guitar"? If not, it would be a cool thing to add.

I really hope they don't ever do this.

If I've given my sims three or four activities they like, they shouldn't be unhappy just because they focus more on one than another for a period of time. Like, if I enjoy playing the piano and the violin, I shouldn't be walking around miserable because I decided to play the piano instead of the violin for a day or two. In fact, I don't trust them to balance that at all, so what would happen is that your sims would be constantly miserable because whatever they were doing, they'd be mad about not doing a different like instead.

Now, alternatively, maybe if you like both piano and violin, and you've only been playing the piano for a few days, you could roll a whim to play the violin. That seems like a good way to approach it. But the last thing I would to do is encourage the devs to put more energy into negative (or positive) buffs when they are already so out of whack.

I came on here to look for this thread since I'd also like more to be added. Some I'm lacking have already been cited but I just want to add to the request list for them: chess board/logic - I really need this and noticed it right away, more logical activities, archaeology, socializing (as a like and a dislike) - this would allow more distinction between outgoing sims and those who aren't, dining out, watching movies/tv, knitting, fabrication/eco activities, reading as a hobby, playing games, camping/outdoors/hiking/walks, playgrounds.

I really noticed it with the hobbies. Some of my sims don't really have matching interests to the options. The sims who like music, fitness, cooking and a few other specific interests are covered. They have rock climbing as a separate option. I'd say swimming and basketball could be differentiated. This is causing me to realize that we should get the ability for sims to play tennis.

I'd also say there could be some way to distinguish spending time with family or with friends.

I couldn't find cleaning on the list. I was looking forward to making my sims hate it. :(

I really was looking forward to cleaning being on the list! Hope they add it.

I'm also surprised they left out University activites like the keg and foosball table, darts(from GT?). And I've been hoping for tanning to get added as an activity somewhere like GT club activities but likes and dislikes would also work ;)

Hello! I really want to try it and see how my sims will react to it all.

I'd love to see an Occult category! Spellcasters disliking vampires/mermaids or vice versa could come in handy for occult gameplay and storytelling.

Any other hobby/skill missing?

Candle making ( Eco Lifestyle )
Woodworking bench. Some may like to do wood work, but not necessarily like repairing things.
Same with wellness, there is yoga and meditation they should be separate.


I also miss all the games, fitness and other activities things such as:

Darts and the other game in get together
Horseshoes
Ping pong
Bicycling
Board game, children’s game, cards, gambling.
Jogging and treadmill
Push-ups
Jet ski
Boating
Sun bathing
Beach combing
Collecting
Sparring machine
Sand castle building
Body building
Also using the bubble machine (city living)

Just because some one likes to jog or use the treadmill doesn’t mean they like body building. They should be separate.

Chess and book reading someone else mentioned too.

Also why can’t sims have a favorite food and flower to pick on the list, and weather likes and dislikes?.

And of course the ones you have listed.

I would like spellcasting to be added. I know it is not really a hobby, but if adding it meant my spellcasters could automansly cast spells once i assigned it to them as i like, i would like that very much.

Yes, please and Vampire Lore too, since it's essentially mythology which a lot of people like to study/research in real life. Me being one of them. :)

I suppose "Paranormal" in general could be considered an activity/hobby or "interest" if ever too.

I know this is very unlikely, but I'd really enjoy if they added a like/dislike for cats and dogs. I've seen other players on the forums say they don't want this because it would be duplicating a trait that already exists, but I'd rather free up trait slots for things that have more of an impact on gameplay.

I actually like the way it is with "Cat Lover" and "Dog Lover" currently. Because me being a Cat Lover/Cat Mom in real life is a big part of who I am/my identity. Like if someone asked me to describe myself, that's one of the first things I would mention.

I'd be okay if they added it as a dislike, but it would really make me mad if the moved Cat Lover from traits and demoted it to a mere like/dislike. Becuase as I said, it's a big part of who I am in real life and is therefore part of my Simself's identity too.

Perhaps things will get added to it, I hope so anyway, I'd like favourite food, animal etc

I don’t think they are asking to remove the trait, just to add it to likes and dislikes as well, to free up a trait for themselves. You can like an animal with out having a trait as Dog or cat lover, it helps cover more territory.
