Befriending a tinkering hobby instructor will decrease the friends requirements by one for Sims who work in the Intelligence and Military careers.

Wait, what? Does it mean that by befriending a hobby instructor your friends requirement goes down by two in those careers (newly made friend + “bonus”) or does it mean that only in those careers the newly made friend counts?

Is that even genuine? Because if so: oh boy, I don’t nearly use the Freetime stuff enough. Really, Middleground is kind of becoming my “Let’s try out all the hobbies” town.
