They're a nice touch to the game. I don't expect them to do a lot cause Lifestyles are just a small part of the pack, and not the main theme. I haven't had any major problems with them. My Sims often get the Outdoorsy and Energetic lifestyles from swimming in the ocean. When they go diving or exploring the cave they get a happy "on an adventure" moodlet. I like how they intergrate with other packs like that. I like that the Sim's actions affect what lifestyle they will have. A Sim who was a energetic thrill seeker might get married and get so busy with raising a family they aren't doing so much of those activities anymore will no longer have that lifestyle, just like in real life. It's a neat addition.
There are some downsides though. My Sims household has 5 Sims (the parents and 3 teenage children). They all get along great and because of this, are progressing towards the People Person lifestyle (3 of them now have it) even though they don't have friends outside of the family. I would rather family don't count towards this lifestyle.
A minor bug with it is one of my Sims have 5 lifestyles when it's supposed to cap at 3. It's not a big deal for me though, except the 5th lifestyle covers the lifestyles button and I can only see the top of those last 2 images. She's got Outdoorsy, Energetic (from snowboarding, and swimming in the ocean), People Person (from being close to her parents and 2 siblings), Adrenaline seeker (from snowbaording), and Frequent Traveller (cause I keep taking her to Mt Komorebi to snowboard). She's also got Single and Loving It and Health Food Fiend in progress. I wonder if she will reach 7 active lifestyles? Out of the 5 she has I would remove People Person, but I'm unsure of which one of the other 4 I would remove. I kind of like that she's got so many.
Before getting this I was worried that all my Sims will end up with the Health Food Fiend lifestyle cause I'm too scared to have my Sims cook in case of a fire, so they all just live off garden salads, but I've played 2 in game weeks and the lifestyle has only now reached in progress.
