No Hobby Spam
Emma:
You don't get it as much, only when your sim is close to losing a hobbypoint.
Inge:
Hmm I don't want it at all. Hobbies are like wants to me, something to be hidden behind a closed panel, and only of interest to the sim. I mean if they want to do a hobby they can do a hobby - that is when they're not busy testing stuff for me :)
J. M. Pescado:
The constant "losing a millionth of a point" thing has been cut down also, yes. Previously you would lose a point every 6 hours if you didn't do something. This has been increased to a more reasonable duration that scales with the number of points you have. I believe I changed it to 6 * level instead, so sims are much less likely to spam you over this every night.
spaceface:
I agree with Inge, that there should be no hobby spam AT ALL. Quite honestly, I got the EP for the extra activities, I am not interested in whether the sims actually like them or not.
EsotericPolarBear:
I hate hobbies. For one, I'm tired of all my sims getting a cuisine hobby just because they have to eat. Also, I hate that skilling gives hobbies. I don't want my sims to have every hobby under the sun. Especially since they then get their want boxes filled with "Blog about science" and "Blog about cooking" and "blog about blog" and don't get any decent wants anymore.
Am I alone in this? Can anything be done about this?
Plus, hobbies serve no practical gameplay purpose. You get a shiny plaque and that's it. The secret lots aren't worth going to and the 'hobby' actions are pointless. The only really good thing freetime came with, IMO, was the lifetime asp rewards and the secondary aspiration.
I mean, I like that I can restore a car and such, but we didn't really need a 'hobby' system just to add that.
