{{Era|TS2FT}}A '''hobby lot''' is a [[secret lot]] in ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' expansion that specializes in one of the [[hobbies]]. Increasing a Sim's [[enthusiasm]] in the hobby to level 5 will reward them with access to a special secret lot. In addition, most hobbies have a work-related [[chance card]] that can result in a Sim being given access to the lot, and some also have a school-related card that can result in this. An '''instructor''', also known as an '''iconic hobbyist''', is present on each of the secret lots. He or she is an [[Non-playable character|NPC]] with maximum enthusiasm in the lot's designated hobby and can be asked to instruct Sims in it. Unlike Sims who have unlocked the "Instruct in Hobby" interaction for a hobby, an instructor can give hobby instruction to any Sim who asks, regardless of that Sim's level of enthusiasm.▼
▲A '''hobby lot''' is a [[secret lot]] in ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' expansion that specializes in one of the [[hobbies]]. Increasing a Sim's [[enthusiasm]] in the hobby to level 5 will reward them with access to a special secret lot. An '''instructor''', also known as an '''iconic hobbyist''', is present on each of the secret lots. He or she is an [[Non-playable character|NPC]] with maximum enthusiasm in the lot's designated hobby and can be asked to instruct Sims in it.
A membership pass to the hobby lot is awarded by the instructor who owns it. The pass will show up in the Sim's [[memories]]. [[Townie#The Sims 2|Townies]] may be created with level 5 enthusiasm in a hobby. If they are made playable, they will have access to that hobby's secret lot, but may not get a memory about receiving it. Also, [[child]]ren who reach level 5 enthusiasm in a hobby may gain access to that hobby's secret lot when they become [[teen]]s, but do not always receive it until they pass some other benchmark that triggers a message from the hobby instructor. In the initial, unpatched release of ''FreeTime'', the instructor would even attempt to award membership to toddlers; the instructor would walk into the house, and then leave immediately, being unable to greet the toddler.
While Sims cannot gain [[skill]] points and [[talent badge]]s on normal [[community lot]]s, they can gain them on hobby lots. Therefore, they make more effective gyms, libraries, studios, etc. than normal community lots. In addition to hobby-related items and activities, hobby lots will have bathrooms with toilet stalls, showers, and either dressers or changing booths (which can be used as dressers). They will also have dining areas with [[Barbecue#The Sims 2|a grill]].
Sims who are members of a secret hobby lot can also bring other Sims to the lot, even if those other Sims are not members. Children can be taken to a secret hobby lot if they go with an older Sim who is a member. If this is done, children who have at least 5 points of enthusiasm in the lot's hobby may appear as autonomous visitors.
Sims can also bring other people with them to secret hobby lots, even if they are not members there. A phone is available on every hobby lot to call a taxi or invite another Sim over. Hobby lots are also places where Dormies, Downtownies, and random selectable NPCs can visit outside their native areas. In the initial release of ''FreeTime'', many type of Sims which are normally not allowed to autonomously visit, such as [[Nanny|nannies]], stylists, and members of the current family, could be encountered on hobby lots. This resulted in erratic behavior.▼
