    Martial arts
    (sims able to fight each other and wooden dummy but especially need to fight each other)
    Pottery
    (but only if we can make useful stuff like functional tea sets, gardening pots, fermenting jars or something, heck would make toilets if it was option)
    Sculpting
    (If we could make statues of our own sims so vlad statue could have some company and gargoyles and roof decorations maybe)
    Instruments
    (all of them really so I'll be less specific but I would love to have more than just the usual band stuff)

    I love all of these. I also would like to see collaborative music (bands, orchestra, choir), and dressmaking/tailoring.
    The Sims is NOT a game, it's a lifestyle choice.

    Candy and chocolate making would be lovely and so would be perfume and potpourri making. Would also love a cosmetology skill where sims can make soaps, bubble bath, bath fizzers, face masks, creams and lipsticks. Would love pottery if we could make some functional items like vases we can stick 1, 3, or more flowers into, or mugs we can gift and if sims have them in their inventory will use them to drink their coffee or tea, or more teapot shapes. Also decorative plates with pictures of plants and pets. Hula dancing and maybe ice hockey if we can gather a group of sims with good enough ice skating skill. Sewing would also be nice if we can craft dresses like in TS2 and maybe some new soft toys, animals and dolls, and table clothes and new curtains.

    I pretty much want all of the hobbies but I'd really like more arts like ceramics/pottery, glass-making and actually activities for an art gallery like gallery parties. I liked Sims 2 Free Time so I'd take something like that. I think there could be more activities for kids and also activities for adults to continue as adults. I agree with more sports and dancing. I'd also be up for an amusement/water park or bands. I'd like a mix of outdoor and indoor activities.

    - Woodcutting - plus feature: Fires and fireplaces now needs logs or they'll fizzle out.
    - Blacksmithing
    - Spirituality - Heal sicknesses, ease tense mood in fellow Sims, calm ghosts, spirit walkteleport and become immortal by the power of sheer belief. Might take a long time to level.
    - Surfing
    - Hunting

    A pottery skill that allows you to gather collectibles to make clay, mold clay on pottery wheel, fire pottery in kiln, and sell in stores or on the sales table.

    A sewing skill with functional sewing machine. Crafted clothes can be placed on mannequins and sold in retail stores.

    A barista skill that allows you to grow coffee beans, craft coffee blends, and earn money from tending espresso bars by stocking them with baked goods, coffee grounds, and other ingredients (to serve as optional ingredients for food and drink orders). Every time you fulfill an order, you consume stocked supplies and earn money. If you run out of stocked supplies, then you simply pay the ingredient cost to fulfill orders and make less profit.

    A tea curing skill for growing tea leaves, crafting tea blends, and holding tea ceremonies as an add on for Snowy Escape.

    An expansion of the flower arranging skill to include Japanese Ikebana floral arrangements as add on for Snowy Escape. There would be new orchid harvestables and flower arrangement types.

    A functional distillery and distillation skill that would allow for crafting drinkable and sellable liquor bottles (i.e. vodka, tequila, rum, whiskey, etc). There would be new harvestables like blue agave, sugar cane, and barley to use as ingredients. You can earn money from tending bars by stocking them with bottles of alcohol, ingredients, and food items (to serve as optional ingredients for food and drink orders). Every time you fulfill an order, you consume stocked supplies and earn money. If you run out of stocked supplies, then you simply pay the ingredient cost to fulfill orders and make less profit.

    I feel like it would be fun if there was a circus arts hobby, one where they could spin fire, juggle or do aerial acrobatics. Probably a huge pain to implement though since so many props would need to be built and animated.

    I'd love that!

    I'd also like tea leaf reading and it could come with more animations for tea drinking and tea parties.

    Magic tricks would be fun too!
