Do your sims friends visit them?

Sometimes, but my Sims get more harassed through texts and calls by Sims they hardly know. :|

What I love is when I have families I have placed into the game with the intention of them knowing each other. For instance, in my ancestral game save which I just rebooted, the two main families knew each other. I am playing household number 2, the Hawkins family, hoping this time to be more disciplined in giving them an entire seven days' worth of play before I switch households. Joseph purchased a retail business the Emporium, since he actually ran his own Trading Post. Who should come it to check things out? The parents in household number one. Very good. So, I used MCCC to give them their friendly relationship right off the bat.

And, yes, oftentimes friends will stop by my households in the game. Almost as if the game 'remembers', whenever I reboot, my soon to be young couple manage to 'find' each other without my help, I must add. I also love it when John asks his father is he can Adult Now, since he left school (as in he completed his four years at the Academy in Staunton, VA and refused to go further with his studies, foregoing them to be on his own). He was just sixteen when he married his sweetheart. Don't break into a hoopla, we're talking the 18th century in the deep South, here. ;)

I find that if I give sims a key to the house, they become frequent visitors. So, I do that to encourage my sims' close friends to hang around quite a bit. Sometimes it's in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping, but...*shrug*

I get pretty regular visits from my Sims’ family members. I agree with @Sharonia - I’d love for them to add doorbell notifications again. Unless I’m staring at the front door, I only know someone tried to visit because I see them wandering off my property.

Family drops by often, friends call and want to hang out. I like it :)

It depends on the household and location in my game. For example, I have one household who gets frequent visits from her daughter who lives in the same world, with a couple of other random visits every so often. But if I play the daughter, she'll get near to no visits from anyone whatsoever, not even her mother who she often visits.

I do remember there always being a ton of visitors all the time, back when the game was new. But it hasn't been that way in years.

Hmm I forgot about house and apartment keys.

I had visitors quite frequently, though mostly they just stood in my yard waiting for me to notice. I ended up setting one of my lot traits to private. Now it's only the two I gave a key to. They visit nearly every day.
I get tons of calls and texts. I'd like to disable that feature.

Family members and friends living in the same world as my Sim stop by quite often, like twice per Sim week. If friends and family members live in a different world in the same save, they generally drop by less often and I see them every two Sim weeks unless they are invited. Random drop-ins are quickly asked to leave or ignored. The random Sims popping up out of nowhere seems to have increased after Island Living, and I don't like it. The 'friendly neighbor' feature where they run over if there is a fire on the active lot, drop by with food, or just want to say hello has become a problem in the other worlds in my saves. Outside of Sulani these random Sims are not Islanders, nor has my Sim interacted with any of them. It was supposedly a new feature that was meant to be part of the experience of living on Sulani. In my game it has bled over into all the other worlds as well.
