Befriending Hobby Instructor
I heard that befriending a hobby instructor related to career (ex. Games hobby with Gamer career) will decrease friend requirement by 1, like Friends in High Place Benefit and Networking Benefit. I need clarification for this. Is this true? Nikel23 14:52, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Discussing Novels (Film and Literature)
I just amended the hobby-specific interactions for Film and Literature with a clarification, since TS2 might not make it perfectly clear that Book Club membership means being able to Discuss novels from the bookshelves with other Sims (and that this Book Club is not the same thing as Desirable Discourse). But would it also be worth mentioning that Sims can discuss any novel, whether it be one of the stock novels that come with every bookshelf or a customized novel written by a Sim with a computer?

(One of my current Sims is a Gothy college student and an evil witch-in-training, and she loves to bore all of the other dormitory tenants with discussions about all the novels she has written.  It helps keep her Film and Lit enthusiasm at a perfect 10, and she's narcissistic like that anyway.  ;)  )

 * I added a note explaining that "Participate in Book Club" and the ability to discuss books are the same thing. Dharden (talk) 15:12, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Sports Instructor in the Swimming Pool
I've just been playing the Sims 2 with FreeTime installed, and I had one of my Sims swimming to improve their fitness level. When the sports instructor arrived to greet that Sim, he got into the swimming pool so as to greet them because he wasn't able to greet them whilst out of the swimming pool when they were in it. Despite this, it's impossible to greet a Sim while swimming.

I'm not entirely sure what value this information will have and I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning in the article, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this - having the sports instructor getting into the swimming pool to try to greet the target Sim. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 10:06, March 2, 2015 (UTC)
