Lifestyles: how's your experience?

My sims have developed the close-knit and energetic lifestyles. It took a few days to earn them and it's nice to be able to see which ones are in progress based on the choices Sims make. Sims receive a positive buff for continuing to engage in behaviors that support that lifestyle and negative buffs for doing activities against that lifestyle or not doing an activity that supports that lifestyle that day. I unfortunately haven't been able to enjoy them that much because they do seem bugged. My sim with the close-knit lifestyle kept getting a permanent negative buff for having too many friends even though she only had 3 and my energetic sim keeps getting a negative buff for having traits that conflict with her lifestyle (she's an energetic, cheerful, bookworm). I'm hoping they fix this with an upcoming patch.

Interesting! I guess they really are going to have to examine each trait to see how they can balance it out with the new lifestyles. I really hope they don't end up lessening effects of the lifestyles in the process. I really enjoy that I felt I actively have to work towards a goal to get the lifestyles. They aren't super quick to get which is a thing I was worried about. I was afraid that all my sims would be techies or something.
