How does the game choose the "one hobby"

Once a hobby passes level 4, it's not important what the activities are: The computer Interweb is the universal hobby, there's a mode that covers every hobby: Browse Web About is as good or better than most interactions for a hobby for enthusiasm, and "Blog About" tends to beat everything, as most hobby actions are 150 ER, some insuperior ones (ant farm) are 100 ER, but Browse Web is 150 ER and Blog is 200.

So, science sims are sekrit danger lovers? Stargazing can lead to squashing and abduction.
The tinkering hobby is the most dangerous: Practically everything you can do is unsafe!
As for how the One Hobby is normally assigned, it is assigned sadorandomly, based on what you hate most.
I got really worried when I saw the Makin'Magic creature delivering computers to every inhabitant. I'm not playing FT cause I have no time and simply cannot tolerate TS2 without mods. In my first play, I entered the house of a girl named Una and didn't like a thing I saw over there.
First, dressed as a gypsy and I don't like the gipsy at all so much that I nuked the creature from being created. Second, the girl was awake 4 AM, alone home and even so she lauched a tip jar to the ground before playing piano. Only the fact that you are awake 4 AM is already bad signal. You may be awake at 3AM or wake up at 5AM, but at 4AM you should be sleeping. :)
I didn't even pay attention of what kind of life achievements Sims are going to have. I like to cheat. Everybody cheat. If you don't cheat, you are cheated.
No matter how interesting EAxis or any of their defenders try to sound, the game without all mods and hacks sucks more than rolling thumbs on a prison solitary.

On the other hand, it's quiet, inobtrusive, and gives your sim an excuse to sit in front of the computer all day, just like you.
True, but unlike me, my sims aren't allowed to use the computer except for writing novels and termpapers. No excuses for my sims.
I wouldn't mind the stargazing, it's the fact that, unlike other hobbies, science activities are restricted to certain times of day or to objects that require specific career paths. Or to an antfarm, which wouldn't be that bad, if it a) didn't have disgusting animations and b) weren't dropped after a few seconds. They should have made bug hunting a science activity - a tree hugger's supposed to weep at the mere idea of pinning butterflies on needles.

Try noadhd if your sims are having adhd issues.

I *do* have noadhd, of course. Unfortunately, that doesn't keep sims from stopping certain activities as soon as their fun is maxed. Doesn't matter anyway, as antfarms are banned from my houses after seing serious knowledge sims behave like retarded children. I guess I'll just stick to "pinning bugs on needles is science" and don't give a damn about which hobby bar is eventually raised.
