Personality and Enthusiasm
Dopp:
If the thanks button actually did anything (other than crash my WMP) I would have hit it several times by now. Thanks, most informative.
Ruann:
Wait, what? Hobbies actually change your Interest numbers? >:(
That is so completely freaking retarded. It's bad enough that it clogs up your want panel with "Talk about Hobby" and "Blog about Hobby". And yet, talking about an associated interest doesn't actually fulfil the first want. Idiotic.
EsotericPolarBear:
The more I play, the more I wonder what purpose hobbies actually serve. They offer zero benefit to gameplay. It's just a way of keeping score for doing things you were already doing.

At least fulfilling the "Talk About Hobby" Want isn't dependent on the talk-ee accepting your natureblather. I was certain when this came up that I'd have to wander some comm lot looking for someone to appreciate SimX's "ooh, I liek bugz!" spiel. Also glad we can pick which of our sim's hobbies to use, thereby at least mitigating the chances of irritating friends/family/passers-by with said blather.
I still fail to see any point in the Blog About Hobby routine. Sure, you can use it to up your Interest in something, but if you're interested enough to be able to blog about it, you're already gaining sufficient Interest in it from somewhere else (probably by doing something more productive, too). I guess the problem, really, lies in trying to come up with activities to use in a game that both simulates real life *and* is interesting for us, the players. Some people have tons of fun blogging IRL, but a computer game where you watch somebody blog? Yawny.
Also, blogging should raise a sim's social.

Talking to fake people on the 'net doesn't make you feel a little less alone?

You need to reinstall and update your WMP.
