The Sims 2: FreeTime/Sports

Sports is like a combination of fitness and games. This article discusses all things sports.

Life
There's no way for toddlers to get enthusiastic about sports. You just have to wait until childhood. There's actually more sports than soccer and basketball if you know where to look. Two career rewards allow you to participate in putting and boxing if you unlock them. There's also some sports that you might have to travel far away to participate in. Finally, a few socials very sporty.

Another element of sports is the memorabilia. It would seem strange if sports pennants increased arts & crafts. For that reason, they all boost sports enthusiasm. There are several sports posters that are available with the right expansion packs. How do you know if an object improves sports? Very simple, if it looks like it's sporty, it probably improves sports.

When sims are in college, there's only one career to aim for; the athletic career. As well, there's only one major that helps the career and that's the Drama major. Once there out, enjoy your boost and unlock the punching bag. The putting green career reward also boosts sports enthusiasm but it's unlocked in the business career.

Dreamy Fields
Lots of sports can be played in Dreamy Fields. The area in front of you is perfect for playing catch or tossing the football. Have fun with soccer even though you can't play a full game. Aside from the soccer area, there's a putting area to practise your shots. Inside the building there are three rooms. One is a half-basketball court. Another is a place to practise boxing and the last room is the bathroom.

Chance Cards

 * Chance Card 1: You're playing a game of soccer in the afternoon. The choice is for the next move. If you go with the side tackle, you could gain enthusiasm or lose -$150. If you stay on your feet, you could gain or lose enthusiasm.
 * Chance Card 2: A game is on during computer class. You can choose to pay attention or watch the match. Either way, the results are either a gain or loss in enthusiasm.
 * Chance Card 3: You're playing tag. Do you attack the fast kid or the slow kid? Go for the fast kid and gain or lose enthusiasm. Go for the slow kid and gain $100 or lose enthusiasm.
 * Chance Card 4: See chance card 1. It's the same except that using the slide tackle can give enthusiasm or a demotion.
 * Chance Card 5: Same as chance card 2 except you're called to a meeting. The results are also different. Watching the game could give enthusiasm or a demotion. Going to a meeting could give a promotion or a demotion.
