Various Hints and Tips
Below are some miscellaneous, quick tips too small to create an entire Wikia page for each topic.

As with careers, diversify your Sims' hobbies to compete at the Competition Center. I also recommend dedicating each Sim to either a career OR a hobby, but not both. Doing so will allow you to focus and manage your Sims' better while they're competing, practicing, or working.

You'll need to build a Hobby Shop (may also be called Promotions R' Us) as quickly as possible to buy a Fashion Studio so one of your Sims can practice fashion. Many other hobbies will unlock when you reach levels 13 and 17, complete the "It's All Going Swimmingly" and "Multi-Story Renovations" quests, and build the Swimming and Community Centers, respectively.

Earning the most XP per hour for practicing hobbies is much liike Gardening. In most cases, practicing a hobby task that requires the least amount of time continuously will usually earn the most XP per hour. However, that's not possible around the clock, 24 hours a day. So, attempt to estimate times away from the game when practicing hobbies, and practice tasks accordingly. For overnight, I recommend practicing a hobby task that usually takes between 6 to 9 hours to complete.

Simoleons and Quests
Although it's tempting to spend all of your Simoleons on cool stuff, many quests require a lot of Simoleons to complete, especially later quests. My general rule of thumb is to keep at least $10,000 Simoleons times your Town Level. So, if your Town Level is 10, you'll want to keep at least $100,000 Simoleons ($10,000 x 10 = $100,000) for any quests. I can't stress how important it is to keep your Sims busy earning Simoleons. If they're not working or practicing their hobby or for their career, then they need to be planting at a garden patch!

Weekly Tasks
You'll want to start and complete Weekly Tasks as soon as possible! If possible, dedicate one of your Sims who doesn't have a career or hobby for doing Weekly Tasks. If they complete the Weekly Tasks early, they can simply plant seeds at a garden patch until the next week's Weekly Tasks become available.

Lastly, don't spend your Keys immediately in the Mystery Box Shop (found inside the Weekly Tasks). Save them all up for the Fortune Box, which requires 10 Keys to unlock. However, doing so requires 10 weeks of playing the game, and completing the Weekly Tasks each week!
