A membership pass to the hobby lot is awarded by the instructor who owns it. The pass will show up in the Sim's memories. Townies may be created with level 5 enthusiasm in a hobby. If they are made playable, they will have access to that hobby's secret lot, but may not get a memory about receiving it. Also, children who reach level 5 enthusiasm in a hobby may gain access to that hobby's secret lot when they become teens, but do not always receive it until they pass some other benchmark that triggers a message from the hobby instructor. In the initial, unpatched release of FreeTime, the instructor would even attempt to award membership to toddlers; the instructor would walk into the house, and then leave immediately, being unable to greet the toddler.
