Ch0deRock 13 years ago 2. You don't chose them. Just do activities pertaining to the hobby you would like to gain interest in. If you are not sure where to find the interest meters for the hobbies look under simology, where your interests, memories, and attributes show up. Mercuric Oxide 13 years ago 3. For me, I had to "find" out what my predestined hobby was. So I kept trying hobbies, and finally, by the 5th hobby, which was swimming, I got a pop-up saying "wow, that was fun" from my sim, and then fitness was highlighted as my predestined hobby.

So keep trying many things and it should be revealed. Ch0deRock 13 years ago 4. Is that how the predestined hobbies work? I had assumed once you got platinum aspiration it just showed you the highlight on the one you were meant to do. I have gotten those pop ups that said "wow I really like that activity, but I was in platinum so I ignored them as EA encouraging you to try hobby related activities.

Mercuric Oxide 13 years ago 5. Yeah, i think it's how it works. You may also get a visit from a hobby member, congratulating you and telling you to keep up your enthusiasm to gain membership to a special club. Sims start to dream about their hobby. The main unlock, however comes from being able to subscribe to magazines. To subscribe, initiate a call on the new Subscribe to Magazine menu on the phone.

From there, choose the hobby, if there are multiple hobbies and then click on yes. The magazine will then be delivered weekly. Each magazine is delivered on a certain day of the week along with the paper. Hobby magazines also can only be read a certain amount of times. After that, they have to be disposed of.

Hobby magazines can also be placed for sale if you own Open for Business. The next benefit comes from your home computer. Before, you could gain enthusiasm by reading newspapers and magazines.

Now you have a new medium for gaining enthusiasm. You'll now notice the Browse the Web interaction that lets you gain further enthusiasm. The more you browse the web, the more enthusiasm you gain.

Level 5 doesn't have an obvious benefit for some hobbies but it is in fact, the level at which you gain hobby membership. Once you reach that level, a sim from the club comes to your house, greets your sim and presents you with a membership card. This card gives you access to the secret lot, even if your enthusiasm drops to 0. What's more, you can take anyone with you to the lot and enjoy all of its facilities.

The guests you take with you can also gain enthusiasm on the lot. You can get to the lot by any means; taxi, driving, walking. Once you're there, your greeted by the member and have access to all the objects there.

When you get back, you'll see that no time has passed, just like community lots allowing you to gain extra enthusiasm in the time your sims have.

Share Hobby Tips is the next benefit. However, it isn't plainly obvious at first. First of all, you need a second sim. Next the second sim must be using a proper object.

When the sim is using the correct object, click on him or her and select this interaction. This interaction, however isn't available on all hobby objects. Level 7 gives you another computer interaction. But instead of searching about the hobby, you're telling other people about the hobby. This time, your sims can blog about the hobby. Choosing which hobby to blog about is just like choosing the newspaper section to read about or which hobby to talk about.

Level 8 only gives some hobbies unlockables. Others don't have any. However there are two features of hobbies you should be aware of. Gaining enthusiasm in a hobby gives sims opportunities for chance cards. These chance cards appear, during both school and work. Their benefits include hobby membership before level 5 and extra hobby gain. Their loses include work-related losses and hobby decay.

The next feature you should be aware of are mannerisms.
