This pack, which came out in February 2008, adds an array of new features and enhancements. The main new feature added by this pack is that of enabling your Sims to enjoy hobbies and other leisure time pursuits.

We would spend ages chatting about the latest creations we had made, and the fact that one of the sims looked like our class teacher. When the Sims 2 was released, I couldn't wait to try it.

I have had the Sims 2 on PC for quite a while now and thus was looking for something extra to do on the game. I already had another expansion pack (Universit) and thought that it was time to get another one.
