The new Snowy Escape expansion for The Sims 4 brings a lot of new content to enjoy to the game, one of which is the new Lifestyle system.

This new system is assigned to your character as you play the game, unlike the Trait system that you assign when you create your character. Depending on how you play the game, your Lifestyle will be chosen and assigned to you.
