Hobby (The Sims FreePlay)

Sims in The Sims FreePlay can develop hobbies. Players can see the status of a Sim's hobby in the Careers and Relationships tab on the right of the screen.
Completing hobby collections will give you special items. It is most effective to have one Sim for every hobby so you can send them to the Competition Center every day and earn rewards. The Competition Center can be built on the town Map. A Sim can have just one hobby.
