How do you feel about FREE TIME?
StaceyV10389:
I love it :D I'm with you on the lack of science-y stuff - pretty disappointing really, but the rest of it I'm happy with. I even have a certain affection for the present guy because it means I can scrape up a bit more money for some of my less fortunate sims.
My big thing is the family oriented stuff, like the toddler activity table and *new* clothes not to mention the new interactions. And I love the car restoration :D Not to mention the basketball and soccer!
The pre-chosen Hobbies annoy me though, just about every sim I've played so far has "Tinkering" or whatever that is. Really grinds on me.
Overall, I think its easily the best EP and you'd have to pry it from my lifeless hands to get it away from me *lol* :D
Theraven:
they "choose" those hobbies according to personality if I'm not mistaken. just make sure they all have different personality point levels, and they'll choose a different hobby.
oh, and I have to say I love the fact that toddlers suck their thumbs. it looks soo cute! and that children can learn toddlers songs is just as cute! I love all the new toddler things, and of course everything else. not a single thing I won't use here. FT is definitely worth the money, in my opinion.
and the "call on aliens" action is just hilarious - though I had to try for a long time before he finally got abducted. he got the cutest alien baby ever in my game, too :D
Micke:
The toddler are a lot more cuter and I'm in love with he nursery rhymes. :)
The thing that is most annoying is that every time my sims are studying something just because they need it for their promotion, I have a bunch of people in my house and they get a bunch of phone calls who wants them to subscribe to magazines and stuff.

Well, I'm mostly into Open for business, to me it's my best sim game.
free time, I won't be getting this EP, cuz i just don't want too many sim games on my PC. Free time looks interesting, but not for me at the moment, I'm more interested in Changing my NPC,Townies,Downtownies and College Students to Real people. In my game, I'll say that maxis is dead lol.

Personally i love Freetime, way more than i do Bon Voyage..and Pets...and University, simply because once my teen sims go to college i rarely even play with them anymore *so sad* and with Bon Voyage its like...they go on vacation and i get bored :x
Freetime should've been the first or second EP, ive found myself more driven to play the sims after i installed it then i have since Nightlife came out. Somethings i don't like at all about the EP is the fact that those club memeber NCPs walk into your house weather your doors and locked or not and just...stare at you. Onetime my sim was sleep and apparently he got a membership to a club and the creepy NCP stood over his bed for hours then walked away.
I don't like that hobbies are kinda like goals, instead of things to do and im really not pleased with the natural talent random..select thing. o___o my sim likes painting and dancing why is her natural talent sports when she has no interest in it? but thats somethin small. Another thing that bugs me is the colors of the custom car that your sims build, their kinda ugly and bland, expecially since black comes with this ugly fire design on the side.. but im sure someone will fix that as well
I also like the fact they added more games for gamer sims as well, because installing some of the custom games that people create gives me a headache trying to install. Sims can play sports now, so ya'know. Sports parties have more use. And i like that sims can watch movies. Random crappy movies, but movies none the less.
uhmm..overall its really good, i love it. its just hard to play when ya don't have your InSIM and Teen installed cuz...teen sims can't woohoo and get pregnant so their stuck with jus makin out. but overtime when people start to really get into the hacks and CC for it, it'll be better...
did i make sense?
Is it one of the best EPs?
Its up there! Not THE BEST but its one of my top favs
Is it one of the worst EPs?
nah. Pets take the cake
Is it worth the money?
Yeap
What are your favorite things about Free Time.
i like to make my male sims get shirtless and work on a car...to be honest.
What should have Maxis done differently.
make it less goal driven, take out some NCPs...put a little bit more effort into the overall design and concept.
Are you experiencing any problems, any funny glitches.
actually i am, but im not sure if its cause of my hacks or what. but apparently when my sims leave the lot on their car (ex. goin to school, work, community lot, takin a spin) and when their comin back. my game freezes for about 5 seconds. and then resumes. it gets kind of irritating expecially when im busy with other sims.
Any advice for those still on the fence?
if you got all the other EPs, you might as well get this one and complete your collection o___o;;; its better than Bon Voyage IMO
