''The Sims 2: FreeTime'' is the seventh expansion pack in the ''The Sims 2'' video game series. A flyer included in ''The Sims 2: Bon Voyage'' expansion pack and ''The Sims 2 Teen Style Stuff'' announced this expansion and read: "Now your Sims can enjoy hobbies! Your Sims will have fun taking up a variety of creative, intellectual, or active leisure-time pursuits. They can even meet Sims that share their interests and expand their social relationships. Develop your Sims' skills while they pursue their true pastime passions. Will your Sims stumble reaching for new goals or find a new sense of fulfillment?" With this expansion, Sims can pursue employment in five new careers including dance, entertainment, intelligence, oceanography and architecture. The ten hobbies included in the expansion pack are fitness, cooking, music/dance, sports, nature, science, films/literature, gaming, tinkering, and arts/crafts.〔(''Hobby Magazines'' explaining the different hobbies )〕 Every Sim is created with a predetermined "preferred" hobby which cannot be modified by the player. While the bar is filled, the Sim is "in the zone", shown graphically as a white glow around the Sim; causing their needs to decay more slowly than usual, as to allow extra time on that hobby. ==Gameplay== This expansion pack features a new neighborhood named Desiderata Valley. The expansion also adds new secret lots〔(About ''The Sims 2: FreeTime'' ) from EA.com (secret lots stated in the third paragraph)〕 and adds a special character, a Genie.〔(''FreeTime'' chat transcript ) from TheSims2.ea.com〕 A gypsy will come to the player's Sim house if the Sim is enthusiastic over a hobby or has high Lifetime Aspiration and will drop off the lamp on the player's property. The Genie will grant the Sim three wishes though the wishes have a chance of backfiring. Once the Sim uses the three wishes, the Genie will disappear. ''FreeTime'' includes several new computer games the Sims can purchase and play on a gaming station or computer, including the sequel to the game itself, ''The Sims 3''. The televisions now also feature movies that Sims can watch, which are movie clips featured in "How Do You Play?" ad campaign. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Sims 2: FreeTime」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
