New items and sone cheesey clothes. Any way this expansion gives a whole bunch of new a unique options. The only ep that i dont reccomend buying is open for business, honestly you will look for your new content and hardly find it. i think it is sad how little of content you get for the price, yet somehow every time i keep vuying expansions. I draw the line at stuff packs, especially since you can download content all over the internet.
Hey, it's better than them jumping on the bed, overheating, and being taken by the Social Worker.The "enthusiasm" feature is kind of cool, too. Seasons is my favourite expansion pack, but I think Free Time is probably my second-favourite. Since The Sims 3 is out of the question (my machine doesn't even meet the minimum requirements) but I still felt I needed something to freshen my interest in the game, I decided to give Free Time a try.I'm really enjoying this expansion pack so far. (I also didn't play until I'd installed the patch, so I haven't encountered too many glitches. I know this expansion pack has been out for a while.
That's one advantage to getting the game so late, I guess: most of the major problems have been fixed).All in all, Free Time is a lot of fun. I don't mind the extra pop-ups; I was always getting a ton of them anyway, as my Sims always seemed to lose all of their friends at the same time through friendship decay. There's lots to discover, and so many new things for your Sims to try. Any game that doesn't completely strangle my hardware is something that I'm going to look favourably upon. Being enthusiastic about certain things seems to give my Sims more personality. But then, perhaps it wasn't wise to make Sims that are enthusiastic about everything; there just aren't enough hours in a Sim's day to keep up with all those interests.I don't have the best computer and, as I said before, some previous expansion packs choked my machine.
After having problems with the game lagging when I installed Pets, and the game becoming completely unplayable when I installed Bon Voyage, I was leery of trying any new expansion packs. One thing I've noticed is that the incessant phone ringing that accompanied this friendship decay seems to be gone; I still get the pop-ups letting me know that Goopy GilsCarbo is no longer a family friend, but the phone no longer rings for eight Sim hours at a time.I like having new things for my Sims to do. I haven't had too many problems with Free Time, other than a few long pauses, which are slightly annoying but bearable. I've been playing with Nightlife, Open for Business, and Seasons for ages, because it seemed that that was all my computer could handle. I do wish that their enthusiasm didn't decay quite so quickly. I've already had a couple of little Sims who became obsessed with dance, and every time I turned around they were at the ballet barre.
It seems I discover some new feature every time I play. And I like that some of these activities can be done by kids, too.
Very disappointed. This would be an awesome expansion pack if it hadn't rendered my Sims 2 game completely unplayable. Won't bother trying Sims 3, either. Guess I am done with the Sims. I thought maybe it was a memory issue but I've done a ton of things to free up more RAM and the game still crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to play it. It has even crashed times when I've had the game paused.
And it arrived with everything I needed to start the game. I love the SIMS2 as much as the SIMS3. The SIMS2 make me laugh more then the SIMS3 though.
I love every aspect of this game and can't wait for it to come out for Mac, (seriously release the thing already). Every Sim has that unique hobby which catches their interest the most, based on personality points, but you don't have to focus on one or the other. It is entirely up the simmer what hobbies the sims has. This Expansion is one of the best EP's released for the Sims 2. This expansion in one of the best ones. Freetime adds a totally new dimension to the game play, with new objects, careers, and wants. Honestly, it's a toss up between this and Seasons. Hobbies are so much fun to discover.
