Spend your free time with The Sims 2: FreeTime

The Sims 2 fans, the time has come. While you wait for the The Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff Pack to arrive on April 15, 2008, kill time with the new expansion, The Sims 2: FreeTime. This latest upgrade, which hits stores February 26, 2008 for $29.99, tosses tons of brand new hobbies at your virtual people. All of the new objects, attire and interactions center around activities that can be done in the characters’ down time, and all of them seem pretty impressive.

Many of the new hobbies now help generate money. For example the auto mechanic, ballet, pottery, sewing, cooking and video game hobbies all offer the opportunity to not only build skills, but make money in competitions or by selling the finished products. Sims can also now engage in sports bigger than pillow fighting, as basketball and soccer are both included in this expansion.
