Pre-FT Sims have no Hobby Enthusiasm-Is it Normal?

[louisacoletta]

Hey all,

after installing FT I went and played Desiderata Valley and Strangetown. I noticed that in Strangetown, not a single sim has any predestined hobby! Is this a glitch? Or does the whole predestined hobby thing work like Uni - You only have the extra want slots after attending college? I read some posts where someone said to use Paladin's Predestined Hobby Adjuster, but it would be really time-consuming to use that on all sims...plus I'd rather not use hacks/mods if I can help it.

The sim's predestined hobby won't be highlighted until it actually receives hobby points in that hobby.  So you have to do the roundabout hobby run.  Just do two or three seconds of each type of hobby until you get a noise and a pop-up.  The pop-up says something like "Wow, I'm really glad I tried that <whatever> hobby."

ok, I feel like a moron now. Thanks for the reply!
