NoI know someone else posted this already, but apparently clicking 'me too' is not enough for EA to notice so I make a new post that can be merged. That will make a +1.Whenever a lifestyle is active, the image is grey.But when a lifestyle is in progress, the image is colored.It's like this since the snowy escape pack came out and it is bothering me so much.I just don't understand why a simple bug like this can't be fixed but at the same time they can bring out 3 full expansion packs in one year (2023).

Hi @sofdege the in progress ones look fine for me but my active ones are also greyed out You say it happens nearly every time you use the menu. Does it change for the same Sim what is greyed out for you or does it depend on the Sim you check ?

I went in and played some other households I have and they too have the greyed out issue. The times that the menu did work were so random and didn't seem to correlate to any specific sim or household, but rather just occasionally showed up.

We're at the end of 2023 and this is still an issue. Hopefully after their extensive research this visual bug gets fixed by the end of 2098, if we're lucky.

@sofdege I have this issue too - even in different save games. For me I noticed it during the eco lifestyle trial but I hadn't played for a while before that so it could have been an issue before downloading that trial & I just didn't notice. I've tried repairing the game but that doesn't work - active lifestyles are still grey, I have never put a mod or customization on this game.

I have noticed this too. Active lifestyles grey, in progress Lifestyles colored. I am pretty sure active lifestyles were also colored before, but I am not 100% sure.

Same problem.

In fact Active lifestyles are not washed-out-but-still-colored like Inactive lifestyles, they are completely greyed out like Hidden lifestyles.
(I had the lifestyles disabled in my game for a long time, enabled after recent patch, the problem is there).

Active and In progress should be fully colored.
Inactive - washed out.
Hidden - greyed out.

My sim has Indoorsy fully unlocked and Active.

This has happened in several games now, where my Sim unlocks a lifestyle (this time it’s Workaholic and People Person) and they have active written underneath but are actually greyed out.
I’m playing on Mac with no mods or custom content. I have all packs.

This issue is still there, and the Sims will gain even more lifestyles due to this issue.
