Nature

Nature is one of the many hobbies included in the FreeTime expansion for The Sims 2. High Nature enthusiasm allows a Sim access to the Peerless Park secret lot.

"Nature is one of the great mysteries in life. Interacting with animals like fish, birds or bugs will increase your Sim's enthusiasm for nature as will going for hikes, gardening or camping. Sims who are good at cleaning will gain enthusiasm for mother nature faster."
