I find both this one and "People Person" completely unbalanced. Bienchen has a mod that tunes it way down so it's better, but I still usually delete this lifestyle when it is acquired except in the extremely rare cases that I feel it actually fits the Sim.

Even with the mod most of my sims acquire this lifestyle. Is it something I'm doing maybe?

Do they get out often and engage in conversation, or are they homebodies? If they stick around home with family it can pop up. If they get out regularly and are talkative it shouldn't happen. I have had it, not as an active lifestyle, but have it where it shows that they are in the process of gaining it with sims that stay close to home for too long.

Before I had her mod, all my Sims were always getting People Person and I constantly deleted it. It was driving me crazy. With her mod, many of my Sims get the Close Knit one. Not as many as used to get PP, but still a lot. Either way I am always deleting one of them, just slightly less with the mod...

@Sharonia if your sims have more than 3 friends, including members of their own households, they will get this lifestyle.

What annoys me that even babies apply towards this lifestyle, and it's literally impossible to like not have good relations with a baby.

I guess that makes sense. Thank you all who replied to my comment.

Almost all of my sims get this lifestyle.

I hate the design too. In my opinion there should be a buffer zone, lets say 3-6 friends where your sims would gain no lifestyle. Not sure what the number should be, but it's wrong that your sim can't just be normal.

Completely agree. Having a buffer number of friends in the middle that wouldn't gain either lifestyle I think would be the easiest way to make these 2 lifestyles work a bit better.
