Nature

Nature is one of the many hobbies included in The Sims 2: FreeTime. High nature enthusiasm allows a Sim access to the Peerless Park secret lot. Having a sloppy or playful personality will raise the enthusiasm for this hobby faster.

"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."

Befriending a nature hobby instructor will decrease the friends requirements by one for Sims who work in the Natural Scientist career, but strangely not with the Oceanography career.

Nature hobby instructors wear an outfit which resembles the default PlantSim outfit, and a headdress resembling those worn by the locals of Twikkii Island. If The Sims 2: Seasons was installed before the NPC is generated, all nature hobby instructors will have gold talent badges in Gardening and Fishing.
