Lifestyles and Sentiments?

I think it will be tied to the pack, not just that world, (just like NAPS aren't only in Evergreen Harbour). I think to access the lifestyles and sentiments you will need to buy the pack. I am hopeful though that the base game update pre-patch will have personality improvements and then this paid for feature will add onto that.

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.

If we do get an update to the traits. Then we'll know soon enough because they will update the game around the time that they release Snowy Escape.

I hope that sentiments does involve some kind of memory system, I loved that so much. Like if someone became a grandparent they would have that as a sentiment.

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:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Life-Skill-Instead-of-Celebrity/m-p/9510990/highlight/true#M156872
Maybe the system is somehow similar to the fame system?

That's interesting! I never saw this in my game. Seems like a way to sum up how "wise" a sim is from life experiences? Might just be adding to the score when experiencing something extreme - good or bad - perhaps as simple as from reaching the "Very ..." level of any emotion?

I hope the sentiments thing is a bit more complex and allows us to decide which of those 16 types we want for each sim. I'd hate it if the game throw random personality to sims I played for 6 years already. I know those sims better than EA does ;)

I agree. Some of the fame quirks are so grindy to get and I know I would be guarding my sims so strictly over what they do so they don't end up with wrong sentiments. I will take any improvement to personalities, but there's still hope the system is better than what Get Famous had. I still like the idea that sims may gradually gain the access to those sentiments, maybe by gathering life skill.

im interested in what it will be like. i really hope it adds some depth to the game. so far im excited about this new feature. i cant wait to see how it works in the game.

I just hope it's part of the patch that everybody gets and not just related to this pack.

If it's just with this pack, what happens when you leave Mt. Komorebi and go home? Does you sim forget everything? Do they suddenly remember everything if the return to Mt. Komorebi? I really hope it's a patch feature.

I hope so too. I have a feeling, though, that if it's tied to the pack, no matter what, people are going to be angry. It will also probably be buggy (though I hope not). I have a feeling that anyone who's expecting a fundamental change to the sims and they way they act and interact are going to be disappointed.

I'm keeping my expectations in check. I'm looking forward to the live stream and seeing how it actually works.

Edit: Ever quote the wrong person? Yeah, that's what I changed in this edit.

It's not really a sims personality overhaul if it only affects sims in one world. It needs to be in the pre-patch.

I agree with what Dannydanbo said about personality overhaul. The personality overhaul needs to be in the patch for better performance if all the sims in the game are getting a personality overhaul. The reason why I say this is because the game randomly spawns sims. And their personality needs to be overhauled too. Otherwise it could cause conflict between game codes which is basically what bugs in a game are.
