One True Hobby

A Sim's One True Hobby is initially determined by their personality, but can be changed using the Insimenator's Interests Adjustor. You will be notified of the Sim's predestined hobby when they try an activity related to it for the first time (they will exclaim that it "was a lot of fun". The interest bar matching the hobby will then have a permanent glow in the hobbies panel. Traits matching a specific hobby are:

• Arts and Crafts: sloppy and nice
• Cuisine: lazy and neat
• Film and Literature: lazy and shy
• Fitness: outgoing and active
• Games: playful and grouchy
• Music and Dance: outgoing and serious
• Nature: sloppy and playful
• Science: serious and neat
• Sports: active and grouchy
• Tinkering: shy and nice
