Pre-orders Open for The Sims 2 Free Time

EA has come up with yet another way to milk a series that has just about run out of new tricks. The latest real expansion, The Sims 2: Free Time, is moving into the pre-order phase.

This time around, EA is adding rewarding hobbies.

Now your Sims can rediscover the joys of leisure time! Awaken your Sims’ true passions in life as they discover and excel at all-new activities. Whether they’re tossing a football with the family, practicing ballet, restoring cars with friends, or building train sets, your Sims now have more ways to build skills, enhance friendships, and make their lives more successful. Craft new, unique items for your Sims to use in their daily lives including clothing, pottery, and more. Your Sims will even unlock secret rewards by mastering their hobbies and advancing all-new careers. Explore a wide variety of new hobbies that will change your Sims’ lives!

Speaking on a personal note: This needs to be the last Sims 2 expansion. These games are sheer evil that steal precious time away from your family. I can’t get my wife, kids and sister-in-law off these games.

Please EA give it up and give gaming widowers a break.
