Sims 3 "Hobbies & Professions" on the horizon?

[BlackGarden]

An employee at a Dutch store (huge Dutch retail chain Bart Smit) saw this title on an upcoming releases list, slated for June 4th. vliegtuig1992 from the Dutch Sims forums and Sims2planet.com have confirmed with the store that this list and release is real.

So sounds like a bit of Free Time, but perhaps with more career stuff. Maybe we'll have a bunch more hobby-related skills, and some extra careers will be added to match those skills?

We don't even really need new rabbit holes to add jobs. I was thinking about this last night, and say they added dancing or acting as a skill, your Sim could do a job related to either of those hobbies at the theatre. And wouldn't it be cool if your Sim could dance or act/mime in the park for money?

New rabbit holes wouldn't be a bad thing though, not necessarily... I'm just not really sure how exactly they might go about adding new rabbit holes into the map without adding a new map to each neighbourhood. Or maybe you could have some "out of town" jobs. They'd leave your Sims more exhausted unless they had the workaholic trait, and they'd be longer hours because of the travel time, but the pay & rewards from the job would be greater.

You've really thought this through haven't you Heather? Mime and acting sound like fun for them though, or singing maybe?
A gamer, technology type career, could go in the buisness building.
Lots of people are hoping that the profesions bit relates to open for buisness aspects.

So, there are two new SP's coming? Erm, and SP and an EP? I haven't been able to play my game in two months...I am so behind with the news as well.

Well Loft stuff the stuff pack to announced and screenies are out so its deffo coming. Hobbies is just a rumour. Somebody saw it listed on a stock list in Gemrany or Holland or something for a June release, and it was posted on the exchange as info and then the entire thread, of conversation about it was deleted, and there is no mention on the official site. So some people think it is in the works, but they want to keep it secret for longer. Of course it could just be fake.

The Loft Stuff is actually out this week coming - Friday in the UK. I really hope they'll release a patch for the game at the same time.

Me too. Something that fixeds the game launcher problems, and the marriage and dating bugs. The patch will prob come a week after though to fix the probs loft stuff will create.
