Explanation of Hobby The Sims Freeplay
Hobbies in The Sims Freeplay is one of the features provided by Freeplay to make the game more lively and fun. By doing a hobby, sim can get Simoleon, XP, LP and some unique items
Can one sim do 2 hobbies at once?
Can't, one sim can only have one hobby
Can sim change their hobby?
Yes, you can just do a new hobby, it will pop up, and click Yes.
If you change the hobby sim, then the progress of the sim hobby will disappear. and will be replaced by a new hobby progress.
For example: Sim has a hobby of fishing, and wants to switch to cooking hobbies. If at that time the hobby of fishing is at Level 4, then the progress of fishing hobby will disappear and change with the hobby progress of cooking level 0. If you go back to the hobby of fishing again, you must start his hobby to level 0.
If I change my hobby sim, will the prize I get from completing my hobby and collecting collectibles be lost?
No. The prize will still be there even if you are interested in a hobby
Why when my sim grew to the next age, (babies become toddlers, or preteen to be teenagers) did they not have any hobbies, were their hobbies previously gone?
This is because their hobbies can only be owned by a certain age. For example sim Preteen can do Hoby Ballet, but Teenager sim can't, because Hobby Balllet can only be done by sim with Preteen age.

Do I have to do all the hobbies even though my number of sim is not enough?
No. But I recommend to at least have a Woodworking Hobby, Fashion Designer Hobby, Figure Skating Hobby, and Aerobic Hobby. Make the sim at Level 6 on the hobby. So if you get a Timed Event, you don't have to waste time unlocking all collectibles, and you only need to collect them.
What's the benefit of doing a hobby?
Having a hobby in The Sims Freeplay will give you rewards in the form of Town Value, Simoleons, XP, LP when your sim level up, find new items, and collect all collectibles.
What is collectible?
Collectible / Hobby Item is an item that you get every time you complete a hobby. You must find all items to complete the hobby. Every time you find a new hobby item, you will get simoleons. Hobby items will be stored in the Hobby Bar.
Where is the bar hobby?
To open a bar hobby:
Open Simtracker part of hobby, click the symbol of hobby
That's where hobby items are stored. Following are examples of pictures of hobby items belonging to Musical Expressions
What is meant by "Complete hobby"?
Completing the Hobby is when you have successfully collected 12 Hobby Items
Why can't I find the entire collection of items? and why are some columns of items gray?
To get the whole collectible, you must be at the highest level in the hobby. If the item column is gray, its means you have not enough levels to find the item. Simply keep doing your hobby until you are level and you will automatically get the item
If I'm at level four, can I still find items below level four?
yes, you can get it.
Do all sims have to be at the highest level to find all Hobby Items?
No, just one sim that needs to be at the highest level to unlock the entire collectible. After that another sim can immediately find collectible without having to be at the highest level
If I do the option for the longest time, is it possible for me to get a higher collectible than if I have a hobby that is short?
It doesn't matter at all, because giving this collection is random. in my opinion, it's a hobby with options that don't take long. For example Fishing Hobby, instead of selecting the option "24 Hour Fishathon", prefer to select "Go fishing" or "unwind". Because if you are at the right level, you can get collectible faster
What is Lucky Spin?
Lucky Spin gives you the opportunity to get new items using LP. How:
a. Open the hobby tab
b. Click on the button with the LP symbol in the column where the item you want to get
c. By clicking the LP button, you will get the item rendom (random)
Is it profitable to use Lucky Spin?
I think it depends on the situation. If Speed up (accelerates) hobbies are cheaper than lucky spin, it's better to speed up. For example, Lucky Spin costs 6LP, while Speed up hobby costs 3LP, speeding up hobbies.
But if you find it difficult to get a Hobby Item, while you are running a Timed Hobby Event mission, in my opinion Lucky spin is a good choice
Why don't Karate and Ballet hobbies appear on the Hobby tab?
because the hobby doesn't have a Hobby Item
How to quickly level up?
The most appropriate way is to choose the longest option. For example Fihing Hobby, choose "24 Hour Fishathon". By choosing the longest option, you will be faster at the level.
I have a Preteen sim, and he grew up to become a Teenagers before he was level 6 in ice skating. Will the ice sating hobby level return to level 0?
No, because Ice Skating is a hobby that can be done by sim with the ages of Preteen, Teenager, and Adult.
Will we lose the prize that we get when leveling up or when collecting collectible if our sim moves hobby or dies?
No
If we are at the highest level in a hobby, then move to another hobby, do we have to unlock hobby items from the beginning?
No. Because once the Hobby Item is open (unlock) the hobby will unlock for a long time.
How do you restart the collection?
Open the Hobby Tab, click the "Start New Accessory Collection" button
If click collection then the level of our hobby sim will be restarted?
No. the only item to restart, the level remains the same and will not change
What is the difference between Timed Hobby and Timed Hobby Event?
Timed Hobby = is a quest that appears when the hobby first opens. You will be asked to complete the hobby by collecting collectibles or hobby items in a certain time to get a certain prize.
Timed Hobby Live Event = is a quest that appears at certain times. You will be asked to collect as many collectibles as you specify. to get a certain prize every time you successfully collect it.
