Hobbies and their idle interactions

[Yazoo]

Alright, I am just asking this. Because I truly need to know. I know what the idle interaction for Cuisine is, rubbing their tummy and thinking about food.

And so forth, but I need to know...How do you get the sphere puzzle...Looking thing. The puzzle ball that I see people trying to figure out. Exactly what hobby gives you that ball? Because...Well, I want it, LOL

Thanks :D

I think its science!

[Yazoo]

I was guessing that, but I couldn't find anything about the "Idle Interactions" and I kept seeing it, and kept thinking. GIMME GIMME >.< Sports is pretty cool, but if you have rings on...It just looks like your Sim is going to pound the other into the ground -.-" Its odd, lol

[Gcgb53191]

Is sports when they punch the air or whatever? Or is that for fitness?

That is sports >.> I had in the Zone got cheered when I played Soccer, and then my Sim was punching the air, and one time another Sim was right in front of her...And it looked like she punching the Sim, ah, I have an abusive Sim -.-"

Fitness is were they are constantly stretching their legs, and stuff.

You can grab it from the Old content directory: Buy/Build mode: Pickaxe and logic puzzle.

here's one I found 3 sims doing
I don't know if it is the idle action but if it is it is for music and dance

dancing the Smustle without any the musical stuff around
it normally takes a stereo in their face for me to make them do it

Th..That's weird o.o! I have never seen that happen *coughs*

@Dagi: Thank you, Dagi :D It means a lot :D

I guess...I am going to try with...The Science :D I think, lol

Are you sure they weren't reacting to a stereo somewhere else on the lot? I've noticed for a while, that if there is a stereo on in any section of the lot that my Sims and their friends that come home with them from work/school will start to smustle when they are in the driveway.

I'm pretty sure the idle interaction for music and dance is whistling. I have a lot of Sims with that as their predestined hobby.

[Yazoo]

@punkrockgoth1988: You are right, the whistling is the idle interaction for Music and Dance. Lets see if I can remember all of them, that I've done.

Cuisine: They rub their stomachs (Its so annoying especially, when they need to be some where.)

Tinkering: They hear train sounds or whatever.

Fitness: They never stop stretching (Which looks weird when they begin to speak with another sim, and they are stuck like that)

Sports: They punch the air, and the shoot imaginary hoops.

Film and Literature: They will random pull out a book and read it.

Games: They crack their knuckles (The way they do it, looks like it hurts)

Arts and Crafts: Might be the one where they are doing the whole: "Let me find a good picture for my painting" In which I do believe that is correct.

So on assuming

Science: They pull out the puzzle ball, and try to figure it out.

>.> <.< I have too much time on my hands :D

I noticed when one of my sims has maxed music and dance enthusiasm every time she plays the piano her plumbomb turns into a spotlight type thing and I can heard like a crowd cheering her, do other hobbies has special little quirks like that when reached to the max?

Sports does that, when you go into the "Zone" you will hear the crowd cheering. However, unlike, Music and Dance, the cheering doesn't stop for Sports. :)

[Dagi_is_a_punk]

I love the films & literature idle :D There's just something about that facial expression they make while performing it...
It looks totally classy, but in a similish kind of way, if you get my point.

And wow, I never knew sport and music Sims could hear a crowd cheering when they reach max hobby enthusiasm...
But I guess that's one of the rare downsides of playing the game with sound off.

You're right - 2Jeffs had a hack to stop them doing that - they could only smustle in a room WITH a stereo in it.

There's also a ballet steps music and dance idle--looks really funny when a sim whose hobby is slap-dancing (looking at you, Danny Pleasant, in your tracksuit!) starts doing ballet positions.

Oh yeah! I so forgot that one -.-" But the problem with that one, is the same with Cuisine...They do it at the most awful times. Bus shows up for school, and they are starting to do ballet steps. Or they are on a date, and then you have to find their date. Yeah, that's so fun -.-"

Yet another mod I need in my game. I was starting to get frustrated with my Sims' guests.

[mr_db1]

yes punkrockgoth1988 I am sure of that
in fact there is only one of those on that lot and it was turned off at the time

@maxon .... I guess I don't have that 2jeffs-hack installed then because they still do it
