Mini rant about Snowy Escape
... Okay, maybe it's not so mini after all... But let me start this off by saying that Snowy Escape provides quite a few features that I've been asking for for a long time, and is one of my favourite ...

1. Lifestyles
I find them quite confusing. At some point while playing, I usually get a notification that a sim has reached the limit of how much they can work towards a lifestyle in one day, but it doesn't say which one, and looking at the lifestyles overview doesn't always help. I have this sim that I took to the slopes of Mt. Komorebi almost every day, but instead of unlocking the Outdoorsy and Adrenaline Seeker lifestyles I was hoping for, he got Close Knit and Happy Single from not having many friends or a partner, making it seem like lifestyles are determined more by what sims don't do than by what they actually do. I tried to cheat Happy Single away, and it disappeared from the simology panel, but is still marked as active in the lifestyles overview, no other lifestyles have been building up since then and I'm afraid that this sim is broken now.
I found Lifestyles to be so utterly borked that I turned them off. I tend to make my sims fairly well-rounded, and the mere fact that (a) even a sim that gets outdoors a lot still spends most of their time indoors, especially when it rains, (b) a lot of career advancement at least indirectly requires use of a computer, and (c) I don't like my sims to be slackers but calling them "workaholics" is a bridge too far...
...you begin to see why I finally just threw up my hands and decided that feature was far more trouble than it's worth.
