Close Knit/People Person lifestyles need and update

So I have a sweet little family of 4. Grandma, 2 parents and a child. All the adults gain a close knit lifestyle. Baby number 2 comes along and Bam, ugly moodlets all over that house because they now have more than 3 friends, but 100% of their friends are family members. I had a bigger family that everyone started getting the people person lifestyle. Siblings moved out and bam, ugly moodlets everywhere.

If I like to stay a home with my family - I am probably not a people person, and if my only friends are my family - no matter how big that family is it shouldn't mean I am not close knit because I actually like my family members. Game needs to be able to differentiate between friends and family.

I like lifestyles, but people person & close knit need a fix incredibly bad! Like @Sharonia mentioned people person is a huge problem for rotational players. The game may have given my sim ten new friends while I was playing other households. Those friends are unwanted in the first place, but now I also get punished for them. That is at least as bad as family members counting towards it.

I've been thinking what they could do to easily fix it. Maybe up the number of required friends to 10 for people person? Close knit could still be 3, but there would be an area in between where sims would gain no lifestyle. I really think there should be a neutral area.
