Patch #1 file - The Sims 2: FreeTime

Allows sims to have hobbies. With this expansion, Sims can pursue employment in five new careers including dance, entertainment, intelligence, oceanography and architecture. The ten hobbies included in the expansion pack are fitness, cooking, music/dance, sports, nature, science, films/literature, gaming, tinkering, and arts/crafts. Every Sim is created with a predetermined "preferred" hobby which cannot be modified by the player. While the bar is filled, the Sim is "in the zone", shown graphically as a white glow around the Sim; causing their needs to decay more slowly than usual, as to allow extra time on that hobby.
