Hey guys, So there is a lot of debate about the Lifestyles and what they are going to be like, if they are going to change fundamental things about the game or if they are stongly tied to just they expansion pack and I think I might have a guess. I just took this quiz from the official EA site called "What's Your Snowy Escape?", bear in mind that those quizzes usually have something to do with actual features from the pack. The quiz is about what your visit to this new world would be like. It's based on the choices you make. As soon as I got my result I though: "Wow, this totally sounds like something a Lifestyle type would be".Here are some examples from the results I have gotten so far: https://i.imgur.com/HcLcCUw.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/4Dvt61R.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/lN4ZO0e.png (sorry the image didn't show up with this one)https://i.imgur.com/OOcYHWn.pngI know these feel like a strech but I think they don't have to be exactly as mentioned here but I'm guessing the new Lifestyles will be similar to these. Like for example there could be an Extreme Lifestyle (which is all about skiing and dangerous sports), a Trendy Lifestyle (that's about the modern life, and appearence), a Culture/Traditional Lifestyle (which would be about learning and practicing new cultures and staying traditional) etc. What do you guys think of this?

I think the five lifestyles that are in the quiz are some of the ones we're getting :) : https://i.imgur.com/j9FmqL3.png

Active, lazy/squeamish, outgoing, ambitious, etc.I thought that too. The same, but renamed. It doesn't sound very promising if that is the case.

if these are the ones then it sounds like this will work the same way as parenthood's system

Could these be the new Lifestyles? (Snowy Escape Speculation)

Hmmmmm I agree more with @logion
I think it's going to be more like slice of life. Maybe they even took the idea. I think they get ideas from mods all the time and people are always praising it. That would be pretty awesome if true.

I definitely think some people are getting way too excited thinking it's going to bring MAJOR change like ts2 kinda stuff. But who know? Just my opinion. Just hate to see people get overhyped then upset it wasn't what they thought.

Oh but the quiz did seem pretty random. Like what was it for? Could be a hint to that you may be right.
Those 5 lifestyles mentioned sound exactly like traits. Which is weird. Maybe it's just like a trait enhancer?

What I'm most excited about is the possibility of sims being able to have real enemies that don't wash your dishes lol and more memories maybe

It's supposed to be 16 lifestyles. https://ir.ea.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2020/Bundle-Up-For-The-Ultimate-Winter-Getaway-In-The-Sims-4-Snowy-Escape-Available-November-13/default.aspx

LiELF had a pretty good theory that it might be based on the Myers and Briggs Sixteen Personalities psychology which is what KawaiiStacie's mod Slice of Life is based on.

I haven’t had any interest in the Slice of Life mod, but I think the Myers-Briggs theory would be a really fun way to implement personalities in game! I hope you’re right! Although there are other 16-factor personality theories that seem equally likely, like Cattell’s. Cattell’s include:

Abstractedness: Imaginative versus practical
Apprehension: Worried versus confident
Dominance: Forceful versus submissive
Emotional stability: Calm versus high-strung
Liveliness: Spontaneous versus restrained
Openness to change: Flexible versus attached to the familiar
Perfectionism: Controlled versus undisciplined
Privateness: Discreet versus open
Reasoning: Abstract versus concrete
Rule-consciousness: Conforming versus non-conforming
Self-reliance: Self-sufficient versus dependent
Sensitivity: Tender-hearted versus tough-minded
Social boldness: Uninhibited versus shy
Tension: Inpatient versus relaxed
Vigilance: Suspicious versus trusting
Warmth: Outgoing versus reserved

Myers-Briggs include:
ISTJ - The Inspector
ISTP - The Crafter
ISFJ - The Protector
ISFP - The Artist
INFJ - The Advocate
INFP - The Mediator
INTJ - The Architect
INTP - The Thinker
ESTP - The Persuader
ESTJ - The Director
ESFP - The Performer
ESFJ - The Caregiver
ENFP - The Champion
ENFJ - The Giver
ENTP - The Debater
ENTJ - The Commander

I’m guessing it will be Cattell’s, because it’s a bit more straightforward to implement, in my opinion. But I like MB better.

It was a thread started in 2017 that discussed this. Maybe someone at Maxis might have read it. I've never heard of it before it was mentioned above!

Ooh I haven’t actually thought of it like that. If it is that then I don’t know. This is the one aspect of the pack I have the least interest in and don’t really know what it fully means as I never paid attention to these aspects of the game in the past versions

Ok, so basically four hidden traits are something like no media/media addicted and family/open relation type. And four more can't be seen. But since in quiz there were "Workaholic" and "Frequent Traveler" I can assume the last two pairs are around these two. Not that much, I was expected something more interesting. But I still wonder how they'll influence my sim. If this will just result in series of tense/whatever positive emotion moodlets then I guess they'll never learn. At least not in the span of Sims4.

Also on a second note I wonder how many of them can a sim have? (hope not only one) And can it be gradually changed to the opposite. Like a sim who's a People Person when he's young and gradually changing to Close-knit with age... Or from bad food habits to healthy eating. That could bee interesting.

Probably you watch the twitter version? A very short one, I watch this one and was disappointed with the lack of information until figure out the full version with almost three minutes length on YouTube
