Nothing to do? Then this expansion pack offers all-new exciting activities awaits Sims to enjoy in their free time.
One main complaint about these hobbies is that they seem to be unbalanced. Arts and Craft and many new objects to interact to, while Science only has 3 to 5 objects to interact to. Sports and Fitness exhaust most of the Sims needs, while Film & Literature does not. This seem to hamper players choices to pursue their hobbies they like.
However, there are various objects that can satisfy any Sim fan, such as the basketball hoop, football net, pottery wheel, sewing machine, violin, children's activity table and so on.
Sims can now have rewards and benefits for reaching their aspiration, including the feature to have secondary aspiration and gain rewards according to the aspiration. Not to say it is necessary, but it gives more of a differentiation to each aspiration other than internal wants.
Moreover, five whole new career tracks featured in this expansion pack: Oceanography, Architecture, Dance, Entertainment and Intelligence.
To summarize, The Sims 2: Free Time offers so much to keep Sims fans content and playing Sims enjoyable.
