The recently released Sims 4 expansion, Snowy Escape, added a new feature called Lifestyles.
These Lifestyles are added through the things your Sims like to do (or the things you force them to do). They aren’t something that can be added through Create-A-Sim and some of them can result in a negative moodlet if they don’t keep it up.
The Coffee Fanatic Lifestyle, for example, will result in a tense Sim if they don’t get their caffeine fix. Very relatable.
Developing the new Snowy Escape Lifestyles can take quite a while ? up to five Sim days.
While it’s all good and well to see your Sims go through the motions, sometimes you just need to get ahead of the game.
Luckily, as with almost everything else in The Sims 4, there are cheats to speed up the process.
How to add Lifestyles with cheats in The Sims 4 Snowy Escape
If you?d like to help your Sims life their best Life(style), you can use cheats to add them.
Remember to turn cheats on in order to enable these. If you use any of the popular mods, like the UI Cheats Extension or the MC Command Centre, you can use those to quickly add the Lifestyles you want your Sim to have.
With the Shift-click cheat options, you just need to go to the ?Cheat Sim Info? option on the interaction menu and select the Lifestyle you have chosen from the ?Add Lifestyle? option.
If you still cheat the proper old school way in The Sims 4, you can use the traits.equip_trait to add a Lifestyle or traits.remove_trait to remove one. Lifestyles are essentially ‘hidden’ traits for Sims.
To add or remove Lifestyles in The Sims 4 Snowy Escape by using cheats, open the cheats console (obviously) and then use the traits.remove_trait trait_lifestyles_lifestylename taxonomy.
So, for example, if you wanted to add a Energetic Lifestyle to a Sim, you would enter the following cheat code into the cheats console: traits.equip_trait trait_lifestyles_energetic
Not the space between the two appearances of the word ‘trait’ If you want to quickly copy and paste the Lifestyles cheat codes for The Sims 4 Snowy escape, you can grab them below.
