First Free Time information

[Pierre]

hello

i just saw the video of the sims2 free time and its looks like that sims will be able to use a sawing machine cook new food making quilts new games like basquet ball soccer to name a few just watch the trailler on youtube.

wow everyone is so irate over this new ep im glad becuase some ep's get mixed reviews but this one people really like..i am falling out my seat waiting for it..

Me too... although you know what's gonna happen. Insim and Inteen will need to be updated, along with however many other hacks, and no doubt the related nagging posts will start mere days after its release :roll: As much as I'd be itching to snap this up as soon as it hits the shelves, I think I'll give it a little while first

Found this just now at snootysims:

"No need anymore to keep it secret; The Free Time creature is a Genie in a bottle.

The fans from Sweden are the first who start revealing info they gathered from the Free Time producer's tour. The screen shot on the left is from BBS member 'Snutt72'. And the first report I found is Simsnorden.blogg.se

No doubt that many will follow. There is no list of fan sites who went, but I will do my best to find all participating sites and post the links to them. If you know of a Fanday report, please let me know so that everyone can see them."

So the genie in a bottle is back? Yay!!

Not sure if this is in the links from Sleepy, but I just saw this at snootysims:

There will be a new Neighborhood in Free Time, called Desiderata Valley. This is seen on a screen shot sent from BBS member 'Knightlord72'. In the other pic you see the hobbies connected to the aspirations chart.
A movie of part of the presentation was posted on YouTube by Capital Sims. Find it here: Free Time on YouTube

Also, a rough translation of yesterdays posted report can be found here: L1lahM0rgan82 BBS post

Later today, both German and Spanish fansites will post their reports. The links to those will be posted a bit later since I myself will visit the producer's tour today.

More from snootysims:

I'm back from the fanevent and noticed lots of fansites have posted their info and screenshots. Spanish fansites will post theirs soon, so I will wait for them and will then post all the known Free Time reports.

The (bad quality) pic on the bottom is the career reward for the Intelligence agent career.
Some Misc. news:
The UK Sims site posted a music video of Natasha Bedingfield with the background of the Free Time expansion.
Check it here: Thesims2.co.uk

The movie from Capital Sim posted earlier today was temporarily made unavailable. It will be made public in a few hours from now.

BBS member 'TheCallumus' is collecting all the known Free Time info. I have also added a bit to that. See it here: TheCallumus BBS post

Well, as said, I've been to the producer's tour, but I will wait a few day with posting the info so I can check what the other have. Don't want to post stuff double. I got lots of original info and screenshots though.

Fan event reports from snootysims:

As promised, all current fan event reports are now posted in the Free Time Section here: Fanevents.

A record number of 16 previews so far. A few more Dutch sites and the UK preview will be added in the next few days.

Yay new jobs, what I wanted!

[maniac19642003]

The 7 aspirations have all different effects on Free Time. Every week, one aspiration's benefits are explained in a comic. The first one is about Popularity.

You know what? I think that once this Expansion Pack has been published for the world to buy, they'll come out and say there might NOT be a sims3!
I think that once all the EP's and SP's are out there, we've basically got
The Sims 3!
That's my opinion...PS, I like the pic of the toddler sitting down doing a game with the family!

[Sam the T-man]

This is looking very interesting. I like the way aspirations are linked to this, and yet more career options! Yay!

Thanks for the info Mark

Snootysims posted their own report on FreeTime from the producer's tour, which can be found here, FreeTime Preview.

I keep forgetting about the 3 way calling. That was some cool info!

Now I am stoked!  NPC's can grow up with the sims, I always wanted that!
