More hobbies!
I love the hobbies in game but I feel like it could be expanded upon. I've thought up some ideas for both current and new ones, so I'll start with what's currently in game.
Gardening
While I'm aware there are quite a few fruit trees I think it'd be awesome to be able to plant some. To avoid having to remove the ones in games there could be new trees added-like banana or lemon trees.
I think it'd also be awesome to occasionally collect worms from the planter boxes when you're harvesting and to be able to use them as bait or a way to compost any extra food/weeds you don't need to make fertilizer!
Bird Watching
Honestly this is currently my least favourite one, because it seems all there is to do is take pictures. What if we could expand on this and collect feathers? This could be expanded even further with, say, frames where you could line multiple feathers inside to hang on your wall and show off your collection!
Astronomy
Kicking us off into the new hobbies, Astronomy! This'd be an awesome way to create more quests for people like me who have run out of things to do! Why not try to discover constellations? Gain a telescope and discover the worlds above you, even gain the ability to stargaze with friends!
Stamp Collecting
A way to add more fun and point to postcards for people who play with friends! Add a post stamp so you can help friends discover new stamps! Add them to a scrapbook for safe keeping and display it on a lectern for guests to admire :D
Flower Arrangement/Flower Pressing
I've put these 2 together as it could go under "Floral Fun" or something I guess lol. But it'd be nice to make holdable bouquets of various flowers to give them as gifts to friends! The system could work similarly to cooking where there are different types of bouquets, like "Bouquet of Admiration" or "Bouquet of Good Wishes"!
As for flower pressing, it could work similarly to Stamp Collecting, with the added bonus of being able to display flower pressed art on the walls of your home!
Making Models (Cars, Boats, Buildings)
This could be a fun extension to the puzzles, being able to build various things for decor! This is something I used to enjoy when I was younger and something my brother still enjoys! It'd be awesome to display collections like this on shelves and the like or even in glass cabinets!
Pottery
Why not make a beautiful vase, mug or even an entire dining or tea set?! This'd be an awesome way to add patterns from the painting aisle onto some more things while unlocking new recipes or styles of cups, cookware or vases!
Sorry for the long read! I wanted to share these :D
