[OPEN] [SE] More than three active lifestyles [ Edited ]

[xochiquetzl_xkvn]

Yeah, I’m still salty about my super crunchy granola family with a merman conservationist who got Workaholic and the only way to get rid of it (until the mods worked) was to make him slack off and suck at his job. A conservationist who doesn’t care and only does the bare minimum?  ☹️  On the other hand, I want him to be able to take his family camping or to celebrate Winterfest without +3 tense panicky work withdrawal.  

I told myself he had a brief burnout period and got better after the lifestyle went away.

(He also had people person, active, and outdoorsy, if I recall correctly. His dad, another merman conservationist, somehow* got indoorsy and techie, so he was bored at work because there were no computers and it was outside! But workaholic is THE WORST I HATE IT SO MUCH.)

* Somehow: married a vampire without sun resistance.

I have 5 active  lifestyles and the 5th one is covering the lifestyles button the only way I can highlight lifestyles is by clicking the very right edge of the button but once I get a 6th lifestyle I dont think I'll be able to highlight the lifestyle button no more. I also found from experience its better to remove a lifestyle through the lifestyle coaching on either phone or computer. If you use the potion lifestyle-go-poof from the rewards store it will take it off the simology page but will still be active when you click the lifestyle button.

@JDLgndI was going to report the exact same problem - thank you!

In addition, I know this is not really the right forum for it - but it seems to me that the negative moodlets associated with lifestyles are too severe and too frequent. This is *especially* true when there are more than three active lifestyles. My Sims are out of vacation time trying to keep up with their frequent vacation lifestyle and there's nothing I can do about the 'trapped inside' negative buff, since there is a blizzard outside and my Sims just immediately run back in when I try to send them out of doors. Also, why is my Sim bored 'No Action, No Fun'? Isn't rock-climbing (on the wall at the gym) exciting enough? Jeez!

My Sim also had the Single and Loving It lifestyle in progress even though she's married

Got the same issue today which is really annoying considering how long it has been since the first report of the bug.

There is even a mod to fix the issue and yet there is no official patch to fix it.

Same thing here. It seems there is a mod listed in the "approved mods" list that address this issue, but I do not know if it still works:

After the last hotfix I started a new game and just today received a 4th lifestyle on my sim. Don't know if this is caused from the previous patch or the more recent hotfix though. You obviously can't scroll on the lifestyles but you can make out that there are 4 from this pic. The 4th one received was actually the close knit one but the lifestyles rearrange themselves whenever I travel. I have MCCC installed but removed it just to check and the lifestyle remained.

I really hope they fix this soon I got so many lifestyles now there's no space left to click to view the lifestyles in detail.

Still an issue for me. I just now "manage" them by getting rid of some. Although the "workaholic" trait is a pain in the tush to get rid of. It keeps popping up.
