Storyline

This expansion pack brings a variety of activities that can lead to joy, new friendships, and even a nice pile of Simoleans for Sims who are looking for something to do. New hobbies include sports like basketball and soccer, dancing, hiking, and other physical pursuits, as well as creative endeavors such as pottery and cooking, and leisurely pastimes like stargazing or playing video games. A Sim's commitment to a particular hobby can unlock fresh aspirations and life goals, reveal hidden "secret" lots in the neighborhood, and possibly open up new career opportunities. Just like with other Sims 2 skills and activities, part of the enjoyment comes from watching your characters grow and get better. Early attempts at pottery might result in lopsided, unattractive creations, or a beginning hiker might stumble into a patch of poison ivy, but these early missteps only make future achievements more rewarding. Skilled artists and crafters can sell their work for a good profit, home cooks can enter their best dishes in cooking competitions, and serious gamers can join tournaments to showcase their digital talents.
