Exchange friendship bracelets outside household

With the growing together pack you can make and exchange friendship bracelets.

However, the only option is to exchange them within your own household if another sim of the household has made one as well.

This makes no sense, my child sim has other friends that just her brother and parents. She has a best friend with whom she cannot exchange friendship bracelets!

You could argue that other sims dont have friendship bracelets in their inventory by default.

But this is a bad argument because:

1) it should work like the void critter cards. Kids can exchange them without actively having collected them.

2) it should be a group activity to make friendship bracelets

3) you should be able to gift friendship bracelets (without exchanging) making them have one in their inventory. right now gifting friendship bracelets is not possible.

So again, very poorly made by EA. This friendship bracelet thing could have been so much more. Now it's just meaningless.

I hope they will update this.

  • Pretty sure they said in the live stream that the requirement for the other Sim to have one in inventory only applied in the household, and that for NPCs you could just go ahead and exchange friendship bracelets and it would generate one for the NPC to give your Sim. Is that feature not working?

    @PipMenace I think they need to be friends before you can exchange friendship bracelets and for the npc that are not playable they just spawn the bracket they give you.

    I've found now that you have to be at least good friends.

    Then the other sim will spawn a random friendship bracelet to exchange.
