Disabling Seasions But Keeping its Stuff - Want to disable weather or make plants in season year-round? You can do so with my new Seasons Tuner Mod
Improving Sims 4: The past month, I've spent every day tinkering The Sims 4, making quality of life improvements, gameplay changes, and new difficulty settings for the game. If you'd like to learn more about my project, visit the post on Patreon where you can download it now.
Lifestyles are probably the single biggest gameplay feature of Snowy Escape, though it's clear most of the work went into Mt. Komorebi
Lifestyles are a new feature in The Sims 4 Snowy Escape Expansion Pack. Lifestyles are meant to show you how a Sim is living - a reflection of lived experience instead of the more innate Traits that players pick for their Sims. In short, they come from how you play The Sims 4. This guide offers a list of all Lifestyles, explains what they do, and how you can get various lifestyles.
Sims can have up to three Lifestyles active at one time.
Lifestyles are visible in the Simology Panel (hotkey y). You can scroll down under Traits and find 3 slots. Lifestyles will appear here. Many or all lifestyles start hidden, but as soon as your Sim does some activity that might unlock them, they will appear in main lifestyles page (see below). You can click the Lifestyles button to see them all in one menu.
Two pictures in one. First, you will be told when you have reached the daily cap on Lifestyle points. Additionally, unlocking a new lifestyle is mentioned in the notifications so you are aware something you did is an activity tracked by that lifestyle.
Lifestyles are meant to take time to develop, because while traits reflect who a Sim is, Lifestyles reflect more how a Sim is living their life. Therefore, lifestyles are gained by doing activities or by being a certain way. Each has their own criteria and separate points counters. Since your lifestyle can change, they can also decay.
It will take a Sim about five full days to develop a lifestyle, assuming you reach the maximum points each day (around 20). When you've got 100 points, you get the lifestyle and will keep it unless you fail to do that thing for too long. Doing it enough once in 4 days should be each to maintain, as it decays at a rate of about 5 points per day. You will get a notification if your Sim is about to lose a lifestyle so you can take corrective action.
Other reasons they may go away exist. For instance, life circumstances may change as well, such as a Single and Lovin' It Sim finding love - the trait will definitely be gone after a time, if not instantly.The Sims 4 developers made it super easy to cheat Lifestyles in Snowy Escape. All you need to do is a quick Ctrl + Shift + C (or all 4 shoulder buttons on console). Type testingcheats on then shift-click a Sim. You can add and remove lifestyles under the Cheat Sim Info menu. It's also possible to add and remove them by using Traits.Equip_trait Trait_lifestyle_x or Traits.Remove_trait Trait_Lifestyle_x, replacing x with the proper code. You can find all the codes on my guide to Sims 4 Snowy Escape Cheats. There's more there that is useful, I promise.

Thank you for creating all these guides to help people and even if I don’t need them thanks so much
Noticed two hidden Lifestyles, has anyone uncovered what they are?
a bunch of lifestyles are chosen to be randomly hidden per savefile. all of the lifestyles are listed above - theres nothing to uncover.
I downloaded the sims 4 snowy escape on origin for my sims 4 game and it says it downloaded, but when I open my game there is no sign of seeing my snowy escape game in my sims 4 game. Can someone please help me?
Sounds like a bad install. If you do a Game Repair this should hopefully fix the issue for you.
Personally lifestyles should have been in the base game update with sentiments as none of them specifically require things that are solely found in snowy escape
I'm having trouble figuring out what to do to satisfy these lifestyles. For example, outdoor lifestyle. What in the world do you do for fun? I tried having my sim use horseshoes and it didn't help it. Cloud gazing doesn't increase fun. I don't think the jacuzzi is working. I just have him fish a lot.
Probably easier to level up fun by something else then just do the outdoor activities. :/
Totally missed out on a nudist lifestyle... especially with sulani and that nifty lot trait.
does lifestyle affect all townies and households like teens and elders? and thank u for this. i would be so lost on what I can do in sims without these guides.
