I am guessing that playing a PC Game would be classified as a Hobby because of all the hours & enjoyment I get out of it. I got "Hooked" on THE SIMS PC Game a few years ago & just LOVE how Maxis ADDS Expansion Packs to it each year. I have all but one now, totaling 7(Disks). My Favorite thing to do in the Game is Building Houses for my Sims to live in.
Than you can create a Family & move them into the new house and Help them thru their day by clicking on things to do. (I guess I'm kind of a "Control-Freak", LOL)
I tried the On-Line Version but didn't like some of the MEAN people I met. So I'm back to the Reg. version on my PC. Sometimes I play for 10 hours straight, so Be Warned, It's Addictive !!! LOL
You can check them out on www.thesims.com Let me know IF you like playing, I can give you some Tips, ok ? Happy Simming !!!
