There are other several ways to manage lifestyles in The Sims 4: Snowy Escape beyond the typical method of performing specific activities to acquire them. To maintain a lifestyle, it is necessary to engage in relevant activities at least once every four days. Lifestyles will decay at a rate of about 5 points per day, and players will receive a notification if their Sim is about to lose a lifestyle. Lifestyles are meant to be dynamic and can change over time, as Sims may lose or gain lifestyle traits depending on their behavior. Lifestyle traits can also be lost if a Sim does not maintain the required behavior, for example, if an 'Indoorsy' Sim spends too much time outdoors, they may lose their 'Indoorsy' lifestyle and acquire the 'Outdoorsy' lifestyle instead. The Snowy Escape expansion pack includes 16 lifestyles, some of which will conflict with others (such as the 'People Person' lifestyle conflicts with the 'Close-Knit' lifestyle).

To acquire a lifestyle, a Sim must engage in certain activities or behaviors for five full days, reaching a maximum of 20 points per day. Lifestyles are designed to take time to develop, as they reflect the way a Sim is living their life, rather than just their personality traits which reflect their personality.
