Enthusiasm: Difference between revisions

All Sims have a predestined hobby, and it will be easier for them to gain and maintain enthusiasm in this hobby. All hobbies except [[Film and Literature]] are linked to a [[skill]], and having a higher level in that skill will make it easier for a Sim to gain and maintain enthusiasm in the associated hobby. All hobbies are linked to a couple of the [[Personality#Qualities|personality]] scales. Depending on the hobby, having a low or high score on the appropriate scale will make it easier for a Sim to gain and maintain enthusiasm in the hobby.

 

 

Sims that are really enthusiastic about a hobby can get [[Be in the Zone|"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 and Dance]] they'll hear an audience clapping. The first time a Sim reaches maximum enthusiasm in a hobby, he or she will receive [[Aspiration bar#Lifetime Aspiration|Lifetime Aspiration]] points. Sims may also have a major [[Wants and Fears|want]] to reach maximum enthusiasm in a hobby.
