Are the lifestyles free, or do I have to waste all my money
I know it is kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to stream new movies online?
@Demetrius Abel Flixportal xD
@Khari Coen Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !!
@Demetrius Abel You are welcome :)
I wish the lifestyles were in base game. It just makes more sense
It’s a business choice, though. It gives people another reason to buy the pack.
they have to make money some how, we ask for so much, there a corporation after all
@@egdgegeyeyy Do you even know how rotten and greedy EA is as a company? How can you even justify saying that they need to make money when they release things like STAR WARS packs and my first pet stuff expansion number 700. This feature is written into the base game and hidden behind a paywall. Yes we ask for so much and get so little back. No bug fixes. 1 or 2 free features a years. smh.
@@rolf1820 Exactly, 2 packs that didn't get that much value for them. So, this pack will. Corporations are greedy, that's the point
@@rolf1820 if you don’t like the company and complain all the time why do you play their game. if you never get any enjoyment out of their content then leave. it’s not that hard hun.
I really hope that, considering they decided to put these in a pack, they will still create other lifestyles to accompany future packs. I will be disappointed if they don't expand on these at all in the future purely because they chose to put them in a pack.
see gee hopefully they’ll at least treat it like the club activities from get together and have a little addition with each pack
They will had phobias in the next pack: fear of water, fire, getting old, getting alone, dark, ...
@@Hecalledmedaughter paranormal, ghost hunting, zombies, cimeteries, psychiks...
@@rowenn1729 what how do u know??
@@elankhamanicastillo there are hints in the snowy escape Items description. Then remember, the second vote for the first collaborative stuff pack was ecology then it became an expansion. What was the number two for the secon collaborative pack ? Happy haunts.
I feel alot of sims will end up with Indoorsy because sometime you'd rather not travel because of loading screens. And there's really nothing much to outside anyway.
I guess it's good to incentivice people to send their sims outside more if they feel that indoorsy doesn't make sense for that sim. I hope they add the ability to go on walks for all sims, not just those with loves the outdoors trait or those who go for walks with their dog
That’s what I was thinking.
Fingers crossed this saves The Sims 4 because for 6 years my sims have had no souls.
I dont think it will fix it, they would have to rethink the base game traits, and also, a return of the attributes points system from the sims 1 and 2. Remember things that matter in life that everyone is related to, more or less and that define a person, on how you see that person and how you are interested in them or not. I am thinking about, the point system where you would make your sims either more active or more lazy, more outgoing or more shy, more neat or more dirty, ect... there are the first thing you will notice in real life when you speak to a person or see them going... and probably the most important things also to choose the loved one, or friends... so that would make a big change in the game, but for it they would have to rethink the entire trait system, that in my opinion, should only act as a defined personnality or lifestyle like this, which make sense, but not as a whole personnality structure.
@@Klondike877 sadly, you are probably right.
At this point its better than nothing
@@itscyberqueen13
Your sims can kinda have a soul for 50$ now...
Wow EA... from a base game update to now being only behind a "paywall" for 50$...
I still find this meh. Missing on so much. Where’s my family lifestyle?
Like you mentioned I really wish this was apart of the base game so they can continue to improve and build upon it
And miss that the chance to milk their fan base for $40? Absolutely not...lol
ruclips.net/video/tDWe0AIIl8w/видео.html
I still don’t see the difference between this and the traits we already have. I’m not sold on this yet, I personally can see it getting annoying really fast. Constant negative buffs if you’re not fulfilling the lifestyle...🥴 idk
The way I showcased lifestyles in this video is a lot more...dramatic? than things actually are in the game. It feels a lot more fluent and natural when you're playing at a normal pace, at least for me. If you aspire for your Sim to have a certain lifestyle and they get it after a few days you certainly won't decide to go against all the rules of it and break the pattern just to get negative buffs like I did lol. I'm hoping to get more hands-on with this when I get early access so I can do more extensive research about if it feels natural or not
Also, it's my understanding that lifestyles can change over time. Whereas, traits can only be changed by a re-trait-ing potion (or through a cheat). And, I've been wanting to be able to have more than 3 traits per sim since the game came out, so I don't mind if lifestyles are similar to traits; it still adds more character to each sim.
I should’ve explained my comment a little better. When I say constant negative buffs I just mean is the game going to want you to constantly be doing things to fulfill the lifestyle to not have your sim constantly be in a bad mood. How often do you have to be doing things that contribute to the lifestyle in order for it to not have a negative effect on the sims moods. Are we going to constantly get buffs that our sims want to be outside even if they’ve already been outdoors for a significant amount of time with the outdoorsy lifestyle? Or with the coffee one, if we want to work toward that lifestyle, will our sims be spending more time drinking coffee than doing anything else in order to keep it?
@Zachary Khan
this makes sense. I just wonder if some of it will begin to feel tedious and repetitive.
@@aprt23 Valid point. It will especially be irritating if you control multiple sims and if sims start trying to automatically follow lifestyle choices constantly. Let's see how it is after playing it. I mean, we have to get the edition to assess the other features anyway
I'm trying to have an open mind but what I just saw don't fix the main issue with emotions, which is: sim gets excited, happy, sad, etc and... nothing REALLY changes. They basically keep doing the same activities and the only change is a notification about the emotion and how much time it will take for him to get "normal" again.
I'd love to see a change on the behavior. Example: sim gets sad, goes to bed to cry, and gets there for a while, avoid speak with other sims, have a meltdown during work or school, anyway... other behavior than just crying between normal activities and walk sad. I was hoping this somehow could change with lifestyles but is just new repetitive actions related to the same core of main emotions. Sad.
I get what you mean. There's still a lot we haven't seen yet. Like how a sim reacts when a loved one dies. It's a step in the right direction though.
Yeah same with the Sentiments, so far it looks like it will just give you sim some emotion if triggered (i.e. anger when someone your sim don't like is around them) but the problem is negative emotion tends to get overpowered by positive emotions, just like what they've shown in the livestream. Postive emotions needs to be nerf or negative emotions need to buff.
@@brandonparker6696 if the radio plays, the sim goes to dance or just entering another room feel back normal then go back sad lol. in Sims 4 emotions arent so good like in Sims 3. I wish we have emotions are more intense, and also the memories. I am totally agreed with Bianca
Have you seen the added update to the base game as well? Supposedly there will be a change in behavior based on interactions and memories created with sims based on lingering feelings. Hopefully, that coupled with this would be worth it. I wish this was added to the base game, but hopefully that will be adjusted?
@@TrioSonata I'm really hoping to be wrong with my first impressions because I play since Sims 1 and I've never felt more disappointed. I only open the game when I want to "play doll" on CAS or to decorate houses. I'm tired of sims behaving the exactly same way on differente scenarios.
It would make a lot more sense to make them base game, and then add lifestyles according to pack.
I wish they added this to the base game yet at the same time if these werent included in the pack it would not be worth 40$
How
How would it not be worth 40 dollars if they made that a base game thing
It still has so much more aswell
@@hudzeegaming9930 not worth $40 if you don’t care for vacation worlds 🤷🏿♀️
@@jonnnyvigil3236 is it worth paying 40 dollars for moodlets? LOL
Some of the lifestyles sound like some of the traits. So what happens if you give a sim a lifestyle that clashes with one of their traits, like "indoorsy" and "loves the outdoors"? Will they be in permanent emotional conflict?
No, but you have special moodlet. You can be a geek and have Technophobe lifestyle, and it gives you a permanent Fine moodlet
They staight up copied Sims 3 traits and put them in as lifestyles instead of just making them traits and giving us more trait slots again, why exactly? Half off those were direct traits we've been missing from the last game and the rest seemed to mimic at least one missed trait if not more :/
And just like traits all they effect is if you have +1 happy or not lol
I don't get why they wouldn't add a tea lifestyle. Japan is known for their tea. They picked coffee...............
@Isa Tailor naw, tea is hella important. I hate coffee
Boo Songz, I thought the same thing! I love coffee and tea equally, but tend to drink tea more as I can't always handle coffee everyday. The day feels off if I haven't had any, or skip my morning green or evening herbal.
@@blueamm11 right. Plus all the benefits. Detoxing, helping with sleep and mood.
@Pumpkin Kitten I understand but it doesn’t make sense for the culture they are repping in this pack. Tea does.
“If he dies, he dies” 😂
Yup. Famous words from Drago in Rocky IV
Singlness is a lifestyle? I feel like I've been missing out on my own circumstances
I know this is a joke, but I actually am shocked EA acknowledged the existence of people who choose to be single because they actually "like" it, and not because they are scared of commitment.
@@anomalytenacious yes, agreed.
my anxious ass watching this instead of the electoral college results
SAME
SAMME
moll. Haha nice
Do we know if being "friends" with family members counts towards the friend count? For example: if I have an 8-sim close-knit family, that would put everyone in the household past the 1-3 sim limit for the close-knit lifestyle.
I had the same thought/question.
They do count. My sim is friends with her husband, daughter, BFF, and her husband’s brother and is close knit and she’s freaking out because of it. I feel family members like children shouldn’t count.
Ive been waiting to figure out what this Lifestyle thing is all about.
This is soo cool cant wait until the pack comes out
I really want the pack 😩 but I'll wait for a sale lol
Same
Me too
@Zachary Khan keep in mind they tend to not put the newest packs on sale when there's a sale. Since this one is so close to Christmas it probably won't be 50% for Christmas, maybe not even on sale at all
I feel like this needed to be a free base game update considering how lackluster the sims personalities are in TS4. The could have added a couple that needed the new EP but most of them should have been a free update.
I hoped so much that the lifestyles would make my sims AI more interesting and improved but it does not. It's like having a moodlet added to the other moddlets but with more information. My sims don't behave differently and I wished so much, that the lifestyles would enable some sort of Autopilot for the game. Like if the Sim is outdoorsy, why doesn't he make his garden on his own? Why doesn't he go fishing on his own? Why does he not wander around his neighborhood? Why isn't the lifestyle LIVED by the sims after you unlocked it? The lifestyles had been the only reason for me to buy snowy escape but it is a disapointment because it seemed more game-changing and interesting but it's not. Shame EA shame. My 40 bucks wasted on the dream of having improved AI.
So they made traits from Sims 3 into slower starting lifestyles? Some people may like it in this lifestyle setting. I just really wish we were given more traits that seemed to matter. I could make all types of unique sims in Sims 3 because the base game had so many traits that affected them in different ways. With Sims 4 we get less traits that seem...shallow. The Sims don’t feel like they have personalities like before. Hopefully later updates will help
This is what traits should've been in the first place
I think it is better if the sims will automatically do things once it's in their lifestyle. For example, the coffee one, it is better if once she cannot focus, she automatically brews a new coffee.
I love this new element to the Sims but it really doesn’t make sense as part of this pack. Since the theme is snowy escape I don’t see how lifestyles really fits in with that theme. It would make sense to have been in a pack such as Get Together or Parenthood or to just be an update for everyone like you said. But nevertheless I’m super happy they are including more elements for personality as TS4 is lacking in a diverse range of traits/aspirations to really differentiate different Sims and families in gameplay.
Theres Lilsimsie's mansion she built for the pack!
We are pleased that the players are enjoying the Japanese houses.🏯⛩️🏯But,We oppose Sims censoring Japanese manners.This is very disappointing.😩🤦😩
There maybe reasons for that, especially in regards to not be insensitive towards the culture they're basing this pack on. People can tend to take certain things the wrong way even if it's an accurate portrail of their culture or lifestyle. They probably stuck with what they knew wasn't going to be problematic and while disappointing, it's understandable. (I mean alot of cultural stuff was missing from sims 3 adventures that would have been awesome to add and they chose to avoid them for the same reasons. Egypt and China have deep and long surviving cultures but there is alot that isn't suited to a sims game and better put into something like a total war version of historical context ect... .) they've already taken enough heat on lack of representation despite them trying to fix it so I doubt they'd want to offend more people.
If EA nickel and dimes the dedicated Sims fanbase with what should absolutely be base game features in the disguise of "packs" in Sims 5 then I'm done with this franchise. When I was a kid and played Sims 1 (aside from the godly soundtrack) it was incredible and the expansions made sense but its not 2000 anymore. I really hope Paralives becomes the competitor Sims needs to actually be creative and not just rely on cheap content and rehashed features from old games.
Finally some depth to the game play....
Hi! I just met your channel, I'm loving this video. I am an English learner and I understand very well what you speak. You won a new subscribe!
I want an wine alcoholic lifestyle haha
The modding community will make lifestyles possible 😪
The Lifestyles look pretty cool, I kinda wished they had this in the base game when the game first launched, but getting it in Snowy Escape is pretty cool and a nice way to introduce this cool new feature.
I do hope this isn't like the Murphy beds, where the feature is pretty much unusable unless you WANT your sims to die..
I would have loved to see a "wannabe health nut" lifestyle. Like your sim would always want to start a diet and start eating healthy but they find sugar and unhealthy food tempting. They could have made it to where the Sim starts a streak for how long they've been eating healthy. And when they break their "streak" of eating healthy it would create a disappointed moodlet. That would have been pretty realistic and interesting to see in the sims lifestyles.
Idk these are ok...does it add much to game play? Doesent seem like it...the sims 4 seem to be more focused on skill gain and work perfomrnance then actual individualality of the sims in sims 4...so what my sim is energized? Why not include lifestyles with wants and fears and chemistry? Like the sims 2...the sentiments trait isnt even really that good...I had my sim cheat on his wife right when she was there...she was mad and stomping around a bit but after a short time I asked her to woohoo and it went right back to normal...she did absolutely nothing
I was hoping for something like real traits that affect autonomy or an animation overhaul more emotion based stuff just seems to lean into the problem that Sims emotions should probably be a secondary system to the standard discomfort vs comfort system from previous games and NOT a unfettered system that runs everything. It should never have been the only system and it shows.
It is something they shouldve added when sims 4 was first released isnt it... Now the gameplay will be a little more similar to sims 2. It really adds actual personality and depth to sims
I doubt a Technophobe Sim would be able to discard their cell phone (because TS4 made us have cell phones in this game), but I really wish it would.
Thank You! For show casing all the new lifestyle traits.
I'm so disturbed by u saying "hell t" instead of healthy lol
im listening to it while reading this comment...
@@imnotsocreative5985 lol it's something else
Great video keep up the good work.
Also I’m early!
Now traits feel useless
rbarkah well not really, pet loving traits still make a difference and so do things like clumsy
I wonder if there will be more lifestyles depending on other packs ????
Could the buff of No loading time might be a hint towards no loading screens in the future of the game? Or is it way too much to ask for in a computer game of 2020. :D
I have a world with two sims (Aniya and Sylvia) Sylvia is a teacher, so she works week days and is off on weekends, and Aniya is a Mixologist, so she works every day except for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. They both became workaholics and because it made them both VERY tense I sent them to lifestyle coaching to get rid of that lifestyle. It worked for Aniya, but for some reason it’s still saying that Sylvia is tense from panicky work withdrawals even though it said the coaching got rid of that lifestyle. It’s really putting an affect on her life because it’s preventing her from getting her skills up for work which is preventing her from get promotions and it’s really stressing me out. Idk of this is some kind of glitch or it takes longer for some sims for that specific lifestyle to go away. If you had/have the same problem as me it’d be great if you could tell me how to fix this problem!! 😅
In my opinion they should have completely redone the personality system... we should be able to choose our lifestyles in CAS.... also the Sims 2 basically has lifestyles in base game lol.
I’m gonna need that house ✨
Get Together didn't come with base game and EA improves upon it all the time! So they SHOULD improve this too. I wish they would improve the calendar with traditions and new icons, but EA only loves to update Get Together club activities :(
When does the free update come that they'll release before the Snowy Escape pack releases?
Most likely around Tuesday .. judging from previous updates before packs they tend to leave a couple of days between release and BG update in case something really messes up (like in June when we needed emergency patch just a few days after the original patch.. o.O)

The fact that lifestyles aren't base game is kinda sad
Because it’s the only feature that makes the pack an “expansion”.
@@ManouLovesSims4Eva smh
Coffee fanatic is hilarious but I also feel attacked 🥴🤣
Lifestyles would add so much personality with more packs if they were base game...
All about lifestyles??? WHILE THE GAMEPLAY HIMSELF STILL SUCKS?
I ABSOLUTLY HATE lifestyles. You CANNOT get rid of them, they RUIN the chance of getting a A+ school grade because I CANNOT do my HOMEWORK because IM STRESSED 24/7!!! WTF
they made it a snowy escape exclusive feature so the pack would sell better
Still after a year haven't understood how these things work and get unlocked. I sometimes get notified with "limit of lifestyle unlocked" but I can't choose anything, nor I get some clues. 🤯🤦🏻♂️
I'm really surprised and sad these lifestyle updates only come with this pack - I really hope they'll add it to base as I'm just not that interested in more expansions and not knowing just yet how enjoyable they are... Fingers crossed
They won't add it to base game.. just like they haven't and won't ever add clubs and fame system to BG, they are core features of the respective Expansion Pack they came with, after all.
I just got Snowy Escape and I'm probably gonna disable the lifestyles for the current household anyway. I have 8 people in the household with careers and aspirations and wants and it's a lot already without trying to keep track of lifestyles. Pretty much all of them developed lifestyles from their current activities already, but it could be a problem in the long run. Like the Sims that are currently enrolled in a uni and need to study a lot developed the indoors sedetary lifestyles and I don't want to deal with them complaining when they finish uni and go back to their more natural lifestyles they had before which included a lot more travel and outdoorsy activities. Another one of my Sims developed the workoholic lifestyle pretty much immedediately and then he had 2 days off in his normal schedule and started to complain.
I think for smaller household it might be a really good feature, especially if one plays with generations, which I don't, since I turned off aging for my main household. I will probably use it in other saves where I plan for that Sim to pursue something specific, but for the chaotic and everchanging main household I have, it would probably just make things harder. They're uncomfortable for various reasons all the time already, I don't need lifestyles to contribute to that 😂.
I do think it's a really cool feature. And it's good you can turn it off, because it probably isn't a good fit for some types of play.
Rip Naoki 😔
Anyone help? Why is the relationship panel always yellow and when clicked on the sim profiles are surrounded by a yellow frame? I'm panicking cause I think they need to be Green? Am I doing something wrong?
In sims 2 your sim needed to be in a good mood to get reward points. Also, if they were in a bad mood it would sometimes have terrible consequenses in their life, there was a higher chance they'd fail at social interactions or they could even lose a job if you did something risky in a bad mood. In sims 4 the mood doesnt change the gameplay significantly and it's been proven that you can still meet a new sim and high-five them into marrying you even if your sim is sad or tired. So question is, why would you bother putting your sim in a certain mood if it doesnt have any effect neither on short-term goals nor the long-term goals?? It all would make just a little bit more sense if with happy mood and other positive moods we'd be getting reward points over time for example.
Haha I love this video so thankyou for this however 😂 I think it should be how do lifestyles kill sims haha. Definitely subscribed after this video 😁
just canNOT wait for this pack!
so how much of a skill boost is that coffee buff?
snagglefluster + top notch toddler + club hangout + coffee you gonna blitz your way to a super sim lol
This still feel lifeless. Instead of picking in during the game, why not choose it while creating the sim that way they can live their life during the game. Idk if that makes sense.
I like this new feature so far my sim family one of them got people person so I was curious about some of the other ones. The tech and technofobe one is funny one sim loves the other one keeps breaking stuff lol
I hate that I go to college to get paid so well and only work two days a week after all that effort, this should be base game 🤦🏽♀️
Does the extension pack also include more ways to kill The Sims?
still waiting for the update
We need new achievements. They charge US $10.00 - US $ 40.00 for every expansion and they don’t add. We achievements or trophies. =\ for real.
They should add dancer lifestyle and let couples be able to dance together
here’s how i see it: without lifestyles, besides snowboarding there isn’t much gameplay with Snowy Escape (SE), so if it was a base game update, it would make SE less impactful and more like a Gamepack, like bowling night, and seeing as they put soo much work into this pack (platforms, sentiments, lifestyles, the simmers collab etc.) it wouldn’t make sense financially to be a gamepack, and the world probably wouldn’t have been as big, probably being Vampires and Realm of Magic sized.
I can see them adding more lifestyles in future packs, like how there’s apartments in City Life AND Eco Lifestyle, making them less exclusive, but still not a base game feature.
What is considered a high energy career and low energy career?
Anyone got any smooth ideas for Lifestyles taking use of other expansions packs, stuff packs, or gamepacks?
Which use the reshade mod
So there’s no lifestyles for family sim.
Is that Charismatic Crooner trait a mod??
Working against a lifestyle will eventually remove and/or change that lifestyle, depending on your sims... well, lifestyle. XD
This has been my favourite pack for content and concepts so far.... just devasted I've lost 2 hours worth of gameplay from it crashing, never usually crashes for me :/
I haven’t watch the whole video yet but I have a question. Can I start lifestyles at toddlers stage? Child? Teen? Or is just young adults and up who begin developing a “personality” aka lifestyle.
Woowww
The only thing im interested for in this expansion is the lifestyle system, Am I paying 40 euros for that feature only ? NOPE!
EA better include this in the base game, since cc mods already offer similar features like this (check the slice of life mod)
Wonderful thank you
Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing ok. Does anyone please know if the November update is out on the pc or playstation yet? Thank you 😊 💓 xx
Very nice coverage of this feature - thank you! I do wish this was a basegame addition like the sentiments will be as it would be nice to see it added to over time. Maybe the sims team will add extra types of lifestyles in future packs or maybe this will be enough, I guess time will tell. I am excited to have a few more layers that will (hopefully) add some diversity to my sims and maybe even give them preferences when it comes to picking partners. I so want some sort of chemistry system - I like my sims to dictate that a little. I am hopeful that this pack is a step in the right direction.
I really like that all have up and downsides and not just create moodlets. That is one of the problems I have with the traits they are often only positive or negative and don't really affect anything except the moods which are often overpowered by the nice decor.
Why do I need to pay 40 dollars for a feature that should’ve been added to be in the game from launch? Idk the pack seems great and all but something as basic as a lifestyle for my sims should be in the base game periodt
Man this is huge gameplay. I really loved it. Thanks for showing us
So exciting watching this video of the coming Lifestyles, "while at work"🤫😆
I like this new feature I hope the gurus expand on this in other packs. Thanks for the overview.
the five
In Coffee fanatic there is cup of java - it an easter egg of programming language Java, which for a logo has a cup of coffee :D
I'm afraid you mixed the order up there, Java is a type of coffee and has been way before anybody even thought about programming languages 🤣
@@organicstorm Ow, I didn't know that! Thanks for clarification!
So you just spawn there upon making a call? The trailer made me think you took the train and actually came out of the station >_
Thank god this is coming while we are on another lockdown here in the UK yay
Can you please do a video demonstrating how the lifestyles affect autonomy?
This lifestyle thing is really a change in the gameplay. I love it.
Do you know if premade sims will also have livestyles ?
You killed him and then gave up on his family.
