I'm really excited about this!

There are already several threads on this.

I got that too, I'm hoping that they will go into more detail on this in the livestream for Snowy Escape. I'm mainly curious to see how this new system will affect the current traits. Traits like the good trait, evil trait, and the mean trait. I'm wondering how will this new system change these traits. Or will it even have any affect on them at all.

I'm hoping we get an update to traits, whims, and aspirations as well.

What exactly does "UNLOCK new personality and relationship effects"? So, does that mean it's goal oriented? Our sims will have to accomplish something in order to have these effects in the game?

I think that the traits and actions of the Sim determine which type is unlocked and the behaviors that go with it. If it truly does change Sim behaviors, then different animations and autonomy would fall under each type, so your Sim doesn't get everything, they only unlock one type of Lifestyle, which dictates what they like to do based on their previous choices.

I hope that made sense, lol.

@LiELF Yes, that makes sense, and that's better than what I what I was thinking. I was picturing it like a "goal' type of thing you had to reach before you ever got the benefit of it. So, that's good if it is indeed like that.

I had this bug in my game, I think it could be somehow related. "Life skill" was flashing in the place where the fame normally shows. I took a screenie but now can't find it. It is reported on the answers HQ though, there's a picture too:

Maybe the system is somehow similar to the fame system?

Edit: found my screenie

I'm really hoping that this is how it works! If so, they can have my money, I've wanted something like this since forever.

@musteni Huh. One of my sims has that glitch too and I had no idea what was causing it. Couldn't even find it online. Glad to know I didn't corrupt my game with mods after all. :D For me it wasn't the fame bar though, it was reputation.
