Lifestyles: how's your experience?
I can't get SE soon but i'm super curious about Lifestyles. Can you share your experiences with it? Thanks in advance :)
Forum Discussion
I really like the idea with lifestyles but I think that they need to be fixed (buggy +need some tuning +need an option to turn off certain lifestyles on a sim = the sim can´t evolve this lifestyle), but I hope they will expand on this and add new lifestyles with new packs (Juice-fanatic / Pretantious -artsy / Beachbum / Sweet-tooth / Don Juan). I made a discussion / thread on everything that need to be fixed (with lifestyles and other features) in future patches/updates for SNOWY ESCAPE
LIFESTYLES - FIXES & UPDATES
LIFESTYLES
*The notification that the sim has reached the limit of how much they can work towards a lifestyle in one day => also tell me which lifestyle
*Possibility to “turn off” specific lifestyles on a sim (= the sim can´t evolve this lifestyle)
*The Lifestyles needs to affects autonomous actions (e.g. A sim with the “Health Food Nut” shall not grab servings of popcorns/unhealthy quick meals all the time)
Close-knit / People person
*Should only count friends OUTSIDE the family (and no pets! You don´t need to be a People person just because you have a lot of kids/relatives)
*Higher minimum friends for the “People person” (you ain´t either Close knit or People person)
*Add the new relationship professional relation to avoid getting the “people person” from work (e.g. if your sim is a doctor and speak to their patients)
professional relation
*All relationships at work (e.g. your colleagues, or the relations with your patients if you´re a doctor) or with working sims (e.g. the barista / librarian / food stand employee) will list as a Professional relation (work as a regular relationship but you will not become friend with them)
*Click on a sim in your relationship panel and choose “Get to know IRL” to start a “real” (friendly) relationship
Junk Food Devourer
*Fix the animation so you can add bacon / sugar on a meal when SITTING and MULTITASK (=that you don´t need to cancel the eating action to add bacon / sugar and you sims don´t need to stand up to do this).
*Possibility to “add bacon / sugar” + grab a meal when taking a serving from a group meal
Adrenaline seeker
*Fix so you don´t get the “Adrenaline seeker” lifestyle from skiing/snowboarding on a low intensity level. Only activate this lifestyle from “high intensity” skiing/snowboarding/climbing.
Frequent Traveler
*Need some tuning or maybe give us the ability to “turn off” certain lifestyles on a sim?
Why not just activate this lifestyle if a sim travels A LOT?? And if they travels to new destinations all the time? “Frequent traveler” will start to activate on all sims in a family after ONE longer vacation (7 days). Some of my sims are interested in skiing as a hobby, Mt Komorebi is the only place where you can ski, but I don´t want them to have the “Frequent traveler”.
LIFESTYLES - BUGS
*Lifestyles keeps adding (More than 3 lifestyles active at the same time)
*Can´t get rid of lifestyle (portion/lifestyle coach/cheat doesn´t work - the lifestyle will still show up in the sim panel and in the life styles panel)
