I wish the lifestyles were in base game. It just makes more sense

I really hope that, considering they decided to put these in a pack, they will still create other lifestyles to accompany future packs. I will be disappointed if they don't expand on these at all in the future purely because they chose to put them in a pack.

Fingers crossed this saves The Sims 4 because for 6 years my sims have had no souls.

I feel alot of sims will end up with Indoorsy because sometime you'd rather not travel because of loading screens. And there's really nothing much to outside anyway.

I like how lifestyles are not instant as in real life, it takes time to form a habit and lifestyle. I hope more show up in the future. Like maybe influence the sims taste in music, movies, etc....that would be interesting.

Like you mentioned I really wish this was apart of the base game so they can continue to improve and build upon it

It would make a lot more sense to make them base game, and then add lifestyles according to pack.

“If he dies, he dies” 😂

Some of the lifestyles sound like some of the traits. So what happens if you give a sim a lifestyle that clashes with one of their traits, like "indoorsy" and "loves the outdoors"? Will they be in permanent emotional conflict?

I wish they added this to the base game yet at the same time if these werent included in the pack it would not be worth 40$

I'm trying to have an open mind but what I just saw don't fix the main issue with emotions, which is: sim gets excited, happy, sad, etc and... nothing REALLY changes. They basically keep doing the same activities and the only change is a notification about the emotion and how much time it will take for him to get "normal" again. I'd love to see a change on the behavior. Example: sim gets sad, goes to bed to cry, and gets there for a while, avoid speak with other sims, have a meltdown during work or school, anyway... other behavior than just crying between normal activities and walk sad. I was hoping this somehow could change with lifestyles but is just new repetitive actions related to the same core of main emotions. Sad.

I still don’t see the difference between this and the traits we already have. I’m not sold on this yet, I personally can see it getting annoying really fast. Constant negative buffs if you’re not fulfilling the lifestyle...🥴 idk

Ive been waiting to figure out what this Lifestyle thing is all about.

Singlness is a lifestyle? I feel like I've been missing out on my own circumstances

Do we know if being "friends" with family members counts towards the friend count? For example: if I have an 8-sim close-knit family, that would put everyone in the household past the 1-3 sim limit for the close-knit lifestyle.

This is soo cool cant wait until the pack comes out

my anxious ass watching this instead of the electoral college results

They staight up copied Sims 3 traits and put them in as lifestyles instead of just making them traits and giving us more trait slots again, why exactly? Half off those were direct traits we've been missing from the last game and the rest seemed to mimic at least one missed trait if not more :/

I feel like this needed to be a free base game update considering how lackluster the sims personalities are in TS4. The could have added a couple that needed the new EP but most of them should have been a free update.

I really want the pack 😩 but I'll wait for a sale lol

The Lifestyles look pretty cool, I kinda wished they had this in the base game when the game first launched, but getting it in Snowy Escape is pretty cool and a nice way to introduce this cool new feature.

I think it is better if the sims will automatically do things once it's in their lifestyle. For example, the coffee one, it is better if once she cannot focus, she automatically brews a new coffee.

Thank You! For show casing all the new lifestyle traits.

Hi! I just met your channel, I'm loving this video. I am an English learner and I understand very well what you speak. You won a new subscribe!

I don't get why they wouldn't add a tea lifestyle. Japan is known for their tea. They picked coffee...............

So they made traits from Sims 3 into slower starting lifestyles? Some people may like it in this lifestyle setting. I just really wish we were given more traits that seemed to matter. I could make all types of unique sims in Sims 3 because the base game had so many traits that affected them in different ways. With Sims 4 we get less traits that seem...shallow. The Sims don’t feel like they have personalities like before. Hopefully later updates will help

Theres Lilsimsie's mansion she built for the pack!

I want an wine alcoholic lifestyle haha

I really like that all have up and downsides and not just create moodlets. That is one of the problems I have with the traits they are often only positive or negative and don't really affect anything except the moods which are often overpowered by the nice decor.

Man this is huge gameplay. I really loved it. Thanks for showing us

Finally some depth to the game play....

This is what traits should've been in the first place

i’m so excited about this wow

Very nice coverage of this feature - thank you! I do wish this was a basegame addition like the sentiments will be as it would be nice to see it added to over time. Maybe the sims team will add extra types of lifestyles in future packs or maybe this will be enough, I guess time will tell. I am excited to have a few more layers that will (hopefully) add some diversity to my sims and maybe even give them preferences when it comes to picking partners. I so want some sort of chemistry system - I like my sims to dictate that a little. I am hopeful that this pack is a step in the right direction.

I love this new element to the Sims but it really doesn’t make sense as part of this pack. Since the theme is snowy escape I don’t see how lifestyles really fits in with that theme. It would make sense to have been in a pack such as Get Together or Parenthood or to just be an update for everyone like you said. But nevertheless I’m super happy they are including more elements for personality as TS4 is lacking in a diverse range of traits/aspirations to really differentiate different Sims and families in gameplay.

Great video keep up the good work. Also I’m early!

just canNOT wait for this pack!

So exciting watching this video of the coming Lifestyles, "while at work"🤫😆

Thank god this is coming while we are on another lockdown here in the UK yay

Just waiting for this pack. It looks like tons of fun. I can't wait to play it!

Coffee fanatic is hilarious but I also feel attacked 🥴🤣

I’m gonna need that house ✨

I have a world with two sims (Aniya and Sylvia) Sylvia is a teacher, so she works week days and is off on weekends, and Aniya is a Mixologist, so she works every day except for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. They both became workaholics and because it made them both VERY tense I sent them to lifestyle coaching to get rid of that lifestyle. It worked for Aniya, but for some reason it’s still saying that Sylvia is tense from panicky work withdrawals even though it said the coaching got rid of that lifestyle. It’s really putting an affect on her life because it’s preventing her from getting her skills up for work which is preventing her from get promotions and it’s really stressing me out. Idk of this is some kind of glitch or it takes longer for some sims for that specific lifestyle to go away. If you had/have the same problem as me it’d be great if you could tell me how to fix this problem!! 😅

so how much of a skill boost is that coffee buff? snagglefluster + top notch toddler + club hangout + coffee you gonna blitz your way to a super sim lol

I was hoping for something like real traits that affect autonomy or an animation overhaul more emotion based stuff just seems to lean into the problem that Sims emotions should probably be a secondary system to the standard discomfort vs comfort system from previous games and NOT a unfettered system that runs everything. It should never have been the only system and it shows.

I like this new feature I hope the gurus expand on this in other packs. Thanks for the overview.

This is probably some of the top coolest packs for sure

Can you please do a video demonstrating how the lifestyles affect autonomy?

I would have loved to see a "wannabe health nut" lifestyle. Like your sim would always want to start a diet and start eating healthy but they find sugar and unhealthy food tempting. They could have made it to where the Sim starts a streak for how long they've been eating healthy. And when they break their "streak" of eating healthy it would create a disappointed moodlet. That would have been pretty realistic and interesting to see in the sims lifestyles.

I wonder if there will be more lifestyles depending on other packs ????

Wonderful thank you

Could the buff of No loading time might be a hint towards no loading screens in the future of the game? Or is it way too much to ask for in a computer game of 2020. :D

Anyone got any smooth ideas for Lifestyles taking use of other expansions packs, stuff packs, or gamepacks?

I do hope this isn't like the Murphy beds, where the feature is pretty much unusable unless you WANT your sims to die..

This lifestyle thing is really a change in the gameplay. I love it.

Anyone help? Why is the relationship panel always yellow and when clicked on the sim profiles are surrounded by a yellow frame? I'm panicking cause I think they need to be Green? Am I doing something wrong?

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing ok. Does anyone please know if the November update is out on the pc or playstation yet? Thank you 😊 💓 xx

Still after a year haven't understood how these things work and get unlocked. I sometimes get notified with "limit of lifestyle unlocked" but I can't choose anything, nor I get some clues. 🤯🤦🏻‍♂️

I just got Snowy Escape and I'm probably gonna disable the lifestyles for the current household anyway. I have 8 people in the household with careers and aspirations and wants and it's a lot already without trying to keep track of lifestyles. Pretty much all of them developed lifestyles from their current activities already, but it could be a problem in the long run. Like the Sims that are currently enrolled in a uni and need to study a lot developed the indoors sedetary lifestyles and I don't want to deal with them complaining when they finish uni and go back to their more natural lifestyles they had before which included a lot more travel and outdoorsy activities. Another one of my Sims developed the workoholic lifestyle pretty much immedediately and then he had 2 days off in his normal schedule and started to complain. I think for smaller household it might be a really good feature, especially if one plays with generations, which I don't, since I turned off aging for my main household. I will probably use it in other saves where I plan for that Sim to pursue something specific, but for the chaotic and everchanging main household I have, it would probably just make things harder. They're uncomfortable for various reasons all the time already, I don't need lifestyles to contribute to that 😂. I do think it's a really cool feature. And it's good you can turn it off, because it probably isn't a good fit for some types of play.

Awesome enjoy playing the sims 4

I cannot wait for this pack!!!!!!!

I haven’t watch the whole video yet but I have a question. Can I start lifestyles at toddlers stage? Child? Teen? Or is just young adults and up who begin developing a “personality” aka lifestyle.

I like this new feature so far my sim family one of them got people person so I was curious about some of the other ones. The tech and technofobe one is funny one sim loves the other one keeps breaking stuff lol

Is it only Adults/young adults that are able to use the lifestyle buff?

In Coffee fanatic there is cup of java - it an easter egg of programming language Java, which for a logo has a cup of coffee :D

It is something they shouldve added when sims 4 was first released isnt it... Now the gameplay will be a little more similar to sims 2. It really adds actual personality and depth to sims

Which use the reshade mod

Is that Charismatic Crooner trait a mod??

Lifestyles seem like a great addition.

When does the free update come that they'll release before the Snowy Escape pack releases?

Coffee Fanatic is definitely me irl

when is the eco going on sale?

Haha I love this video so thankyou for this however 😂 I think it should be how do lifestyles kill sims haha. Definitely subscribed after this video 😁

What is considered a high energy career and low energy career?

Do you know if premade sims will also have livestyles ?

Get Together didn't come with base game and EA improves upon it all the time! So they SHOULD improve this too. I wish they would improve the calendar with traditions and new icons, but EA only loves to update Get Together club activities :(

I love the sims community, we grew up together and it feels like a family now

i love that we can add sugar and bacon to foods

Rip Naoki 😔

still waiting for the update

They should add dancer lifestyle and let couples be able to dance together

Hi when is the update is going to be?

In sims 2 your sim needed to be in a good mood to get reward points. Also, if they were in a bad mood it would sometimes have terrible consequenses in their life, there was a higher chance they'd fail at social interactions or they could even lose a job if you did something risky in a bad mood. In sims 4 the mood doesnt change the gameplay significantly and it's been proven that you can still meet a new sim and high-five them into marrying you even if your sim is sad or tired. So question is, why would you bother putting your sim in a certain mood if it doesnt have any effect neither on short-term goals nor the long-term goals?? It all would make just a little bit more sense if with happy mood and other positive moods we'd be getting reward points over time for example.

I doubt a Technophobe Sim would be able to discard their cell phone (because TS4 made us have cell phones in this game), but I really wish it would.

They aren’t coming to base game?😢

Lifestyles would add so much personality with more packs if they were base game...

yey I actually came early 💖

here’s how i see it: without lifestyles, besides snowboarding there isn’t much gameplay with Snowy Escape (SE), so if it was a base game update, it would make SE less impactful and more like a Gamepack, like bowling night, and seeing as they put soo much work into this pack (platforms, sentiments, lifestyles, the simmers collab etc.) it wouldn’t make sense financially to be a gamepack, and the world probably wouldn’t have been as big, probably being Vampires and Realm of Magic sized. I can see them adding more lifestyles in future packs, like how there’s apartments in City Life AND Eco Lifestyle, making them less exclusive, but still not a base game feature.

In my opinion they should have completely redone the personality system... we should be able to choose our lifestyles in CAS.... also the Sims 2 basically has lifestyles in base game lol.

This has been my favourite pack for content and concepts so far.... just devasted I've lost 2 hours worth of gameplay from it crashing, never usually crashes for me :/

Idk these are ok...does it add much to game play? Doesent seem like it...the sims 4 seem to be more focused on skill gain and work perfomrnance then actual individualality of the sims in sims 4...so what my sim is energized? Why not include lifestyles with wants and fears and chemistry? Like the sims 2...the sentiments trait isnt even really that good...I had my sim cheat on his wife right when she was there...she was mad and stomping around a bit but after a short time I asked her to woohoo and it went right back to normal...she did absolutely nothing

they made it a snowy escape exclusive feature so the pack would sell better

Pack only? they’re just trying to boost sales

Woowww

This really should be in the base game lol

I hoped so much that the lifestyles would make my sims AI more interesting and improved but it does not. It's like having a moodlet added to the other moddlets but with more information. My sims don't behave differently and I wished so much, that the lifestyles would enable some sort of Autopilot for the game. Like if the Sim is outdoorsy, why doesn't he make his garden on his own? Why doesn't he go fishing on his own? Why does he not wander around his neighborhood? Why isn't the lifestyle LIVED by the sims after you unlocked it? The lifestyles had been the only reason for me to buy snowy escape but it is a disapointment because it seemed more game-changing and interesting but it's not. Shame EA shame. My 40 bucks wasted on the dream of having improved AI.

The modding community will make lifestyles possible 😪

So you just spawn there upon making a call? The trailer made me think you took the train and actually came out of the station >_

I hate that I go to college to get paid so well and only work two days a week after all that effort, this should be base game 🤦🏽‍♀️
