Struggling to find any film & lit OTH Sims in my game... Colton Baldwin is Fitness though. Personality is: 8/8/8/8/3. Another fitness. Storm Powers 1/9/7/6/3. Will update this post if I find any |
I went through the Sims in the neighborhood I'm playing which doesn't have a huge lot of them and I see no Film nor do I see anyone with Games. Some don't have a set hobby at all so I'm thinking they just haven't been out yet to figure out what it is.

If you've got boolprop activated, you can just pull the hobby enthusiasm up and see which one lights up. That's how I check my sims OTH when they haven't yet found their hobby.
As a side note, I still haven't found any Film & Literature OTH sims (though I've only been playing 1 of my subhoods. I found out that almost all of my sims living in downtown have a sports hobby. I had 1 with games, she was a taurus. I swear though, in a pool of over a thousand sims... I must have atleast one Film & Lit enthusiast that was born in game! According to the wiki, Film & Literature sims have lazy & shy personalities - which is pretty difficult to come by.

I wasn't in-game so I just pulled up the info in SimPE. Otherwise sometimes I use testingcheats as well or whatever other mod I might have handy on a lot. The trouble with that is you have to have the Sim in question right there.

You may know this, but it would make it really easy to see this data. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_EB_xOwEcY

I'm pretty sure part of the reason I don't like PLAYING the game all that much is that most of my Sims are from before I had much practice at creating locations, and so their homes and businesses and community lots all look woefully inadequate by the standards I hold myself up to now, and I don't have the patience to go back in and bring everything "up to code" as it were... I'd actually probably be happier if I just were to start from scratch, in a lot of ways. |
I would have thought that building them new houses would be lots of fun for you. Of course, they would all end up living in 6 story mansions. :P

I haven't paid much attention to hobbies until recently, but are some hobbies really that rare?

Supposedly.
I'm having trouble finding any in my uberhood, though if I did it the spreadsheet way I'd probably be able to find more/faster. I've got about 1000 Sims and have looked through about 70 and only found 2 film and literature Sims so far.

1000? All playable?

I have 1,234 Sims. So my guess is approximately 1000 are playable. It's all the premade hoods (including unis and bluewater) and I've been playing for about 3 generations now

That's going to vary from hood to hood. Some people, when making CAS sims, will tend to make sims with certain personalities; others will make sure to get all the zodiac signs but not fine-tune them beyond the standard. And then there's the matter of who breeds with who, affecting the personalities of born-in-game sims.
I don't think any of them are rare in my hoods, possibly because I tend to fiddle with CAS sims and possibly because my hoods get so big so fast. Or I may simply not be noticing that some are rare, as OTH matters less to me than the hobbies they choose autonomously or due to the circumstances of their lives. A lot of my sims have high music and dance, nature, and cuisine enthusiasm, because I have a lot of instruments and audio devices all over the hood, because everybody eats, and because I don't mod out the necessity to do yardwork. Because these enthusiasms are encouraged by the environment, they swamp the OTH.

So yes, TS2's inventory system makes me cringe just about every time I have to use it. LOL

As for the hobby discussion--it's been a while since I've played it, but in my old Veronaville hood Hermia might have had Film & Lit as a OTH and Juliette definitely had Games. My sims have a bit of everything for their OTHs, though at the moment Science and Arts and Crafts are more rare.
@Sketching, thanks for the info--I'll have to double check the interests. I just remember recording info on premades and having things in the fresh install differ from my main hood, or changing when I re-entered a household for the first time.
And it's funny that you mentioned Jessica Peterson, as I was wondering about her too; I just added Belladonna to my Pleasantview and started to play her. I find her backstory very interesting--very highly skilled but in the wrong career, as Slacker will make little use of her skills and then there's the whole not wanting kids thing. How did she end up married to the richest man in town and think she wouldn't need to have an heir? Considering all the wealthy/well off families in Belladonna, I think her parents must have been in good standing in society and probably arranged the marriage.

You could do a number of different things with the job situation. She may have been working for Armand's company, quit when she divorced him because it was no longer comfortable for her there, and taken the Slacker job to tide her over till she got the job she wanted, for instance. Maybe somebody fired her to curry favor with Armand; maybe she realized she didn't like her job and made a clean sweep of her life at the divorce; maybe she got downsized due to an unrelated economic event that has wider implications for the entire hood...

@Pideli, I don't get it. Why? |
Because if you want to put in hundreds of fruits and vegetables you have to click like a damn fool until your hand dies and falls off.
