Skills

Lifestyle adds new skills to the game with the goal of incentivizing players to develop their characters' prowess in the different hobbies added by the mod. Most activities make use of the skill system to unlock more content and provide more goals for character development.

Much like the vanilla ones, Lifestyle skills serve as a way to track and determine the player aptitude in a particular field. They can be specific to a single activity, like Meditation which defines the player skill only with the meditation activity, or encompass a range of activities, like Music which defines the player skill on several different instruments and activities. The new skills are located in the Lifestyle category after the Firearms category.

Meditation

Meditation was the first skill added to Lifestyle. It introduces a new way of reducing stress trough the meditation activity. By picking Disciplined the player can start with two points already developed in the skill and a 100% xp boost. There are no books or tapes for it and the only way to progress trough the skill is by practicing meditation. The higher the skill level the longer the player can sustain the meditative state and the better the benefits become. Spamming the activity to grind the skill is not recommended as xp gain will start decreasing, the benefits will stop and the player will get bored and unhappy. At very low skill levels the player will experience neck pain due to bad posture.

Music

Music is a new skill introduced by the Music Update, it encompasses the player skill with everything music related, from playing instruments to DJing at the DJ Booth.

Dancing

Dancing is a skill still in development, to be introduced in the Disco Update. It governs the player aptitude in the dancing activity.
