Lifestyles: how's your experience?

Lifestyles seemed like a good idea, but their implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Close Knit should not cap at three friends. It should include family members, like sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, children and parents. If they had made it include those Sims and then set outside friendships to 3 or 4 that would have been fine, but the way it is set up, your Sim can't be close to more than 3 family members or friends? Also how the Sims lose the lifestyles is buggy as all get out. My couple both have the hungry for love lifestyle. This couple does romantic interactions all the time. They both watch the romance channel on the TV also, her lifestyle is showing active and fine, his is constantly in danger of being lost. Same with the outdoorsy lifestyle, they both have it, they both spend equal time outside, one is in danger of losing it while the other is just fine. Then, I have not been able to get rid of lifestyles I don't want, the potion from the rewards store doesn't work, the lifestyle coaching doesn't work, and the cheat to remove it doesn't work. I also have more than 3 on each Sim. Yeah, way to buggy and very poorly implemented. I finally just turned them off.
