My sim's friends keep declining invites!

@ScottDemon yeah, I did consider that, but I had 2 other sims try inviting their best friends and those were also declined. Then I attempted the same a day later and got the same result. There is definitely something funky going on.

There is another way without resorting to the MC forced invites. Go to where one of these sims are and chat them up socially. Eventually, somewhere in between Sim A thinks Sim B is being sociable/friendly, the option to form a group or invite over should come up. Try one of those. If there is another sim you also wish to invite, bring the "group" (of two) to where they are and ask them to join the group, then bring the group home with you. Or if it's just the one, skip the group and invite them over in person.

What often strikes me as funny is that "Ask to Move In" will frequently show up as a social interaction before or at the same time as "Invite Over." Sheesh, I just wanted to play video games with my friends and order a pizza or something like that, I wasn't looking for a reason to expand my one bedroom apartment and make a lifelong commitment! ;)

If they still refuse, then you might be able to use MC to find out why -- check their motive scores (MC > Basic > Mood) and moodlets (MC > Intermediate > Moodlets > Remove Moodlet, but just to see the list not to really remove anything), and their Career status to make sure they aren't planning to get ready for work soon. Even that can be difficult to see, I've had inactive sims claim to need to be getting ready for work "soon" when it's 12 noon and they didn't start work until 5pm or later.

And if it's not any of those things and they are still refusing to come over, then I would have to say these sims don't really like yours as much as you think they do.
