Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm indicates the level of interest your Sim has in a particular hobby. By interacting with objects associated with hobbies, your Sim can increase their enthusiasm and unlock new interactions. Sims that are really enthusiastic about a hobby can get "in the zone". When their enthusiasm has reached the maximum level and they are performing an interaction related to that hobby, they will forget about everything around them. Sims "In the Zone" have a glow surrounding them, and if their hobby is Music & Dance they'll hear an audience clapping.
