Hobbies (neighborhood)

Hobbies is a secret sub-neighborhood introduced in The Sims 2: FreeTime. It is automatically added to every neighborhood loaded after FreeTime is installed. However, it functions in other ways unlike other secret sub-neighborhoods, such as Weather and/or Pets that are only used to generate the NPCs, pre-mades and townies, the Hobbies neighborhood can be visited in normal gameplay if a Sim has enthusiasm in certain hobbies, which will make the neighborhood and the lot(s) associated with the Sim's hobbies visitable. Its main purpose is to give Sims areas to spend time enjoying their hobbies and gaining enthusiasm.
