    I've been having this problem ever since the Growing Together expansion pack. I've repaired the game and everything. I don't use mods. It simply just quit working. The expansion pack had to have caused this. Wish they'd figure it out already.

    @MissConsuella - I am just supporting your report here. I'm still wondering if there is a fix to come for this. I have five child sims, 1 of which did complete the three new friends during the final milestone, but the other children cannot, even though they have met and befriended (to good friends) several other child sims during more than one sim week.

    Hello,

    I'm running the latest version of The Sims 4 without mods.

    I sent this account a direct message with my save files.

    For everyone else here, I'll update if and when I get a reply privately 🙂

    I figured out why this bug is happening - when you befriend a child and the relationship is better than Friends (for example Good Friends or Best Friends), it does not count.

    If the relationship is dropped to Friends - the counter increases.

    You have to be exactly Friends with the child and not have a better relationship with them.

    I'd be happy to sent save files for this situation to the EA team if contacted.

    Hope this helps anyone here 🙂

    Also providing support for the bug report. I cannot seem to get it to count at all anymore. It's rather frustrating. I don't want to have to cheat it, but have been backed into a corner. I can't remember when I first starting having the problem, but it's been for a couple of months now. It is possible it was Growing Together update/pack addition. Time blends together for me sometimes. I have been experimenting to see if there is a work around until it gets fixed. I have found nothing yet.
