How does the game choose the "one hobby"

Of course it's easy to gain enthusiasm for whatever hobby with the new web options, but where's the fun in that? I wanted some fun (fun for me, that is) activities for my science sims, too, not just systematically raise yet another couple of bars :(.
Well, obviously, not all One True Hobbies are enthralling to watch, and some of them are outright annoying under certain conditions. Science is not the most dull one out there, though. At least the Stargazing actions give cash prizes. If you want a REALLY boring hobby, Cuisine seems to be the dullest by far: Seriously, what is there to do? The only thing you can hope for is that the necessary grind for the cooking points your sim needs to SURVIVE will give him enough interest to unlock the Intertube actions, because other than that, what *IS* there? Gluttony does not exactly make an interesting hobby sideline. 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.
If all else fails, you can always drink some nectar and juice, when Angelus aint working or cooking dinners or having woohoo with his wife, he is trying veronaville nectar.

The majority of my Sims are either Arts and Crafts, Tinkering, or Music and Dance. Since Seasons is my favorite EP, all of my families have orchards, greenhouses, and/or fishing ponds on their lots. So, they run up more "enthusiasm points" for the Nature Hobby, but then want to go tinker or paint all the time.
I did buy one of my farmer-dads the junked car and have been letting him tinker on it. His daughter is a teenager, and I thought it would be a nice present to her for college. He's a family sim and he and the daughter are close. Just a little realism for my game, I guess. LOL

One of my sims (the first human marry-in) is now an elder and his one true is Tinkering. He lives in an extremely nice house and owns two level 10 businesses. He is not allowed the car, as his wife wouldn't let something that shoddy on their property. He wants to putz around on some rusty piece of junk, he can open a garage on the other side of the beach. Now that his first grandchild is also Tinkering, he probably will.
I have very few playables, but I currently have two Sports, two Tinkering, two Fitness, and one Nature.
