High school years annoyance

I just purchased the HSY expansion and this is my first play, even though my kiddos aren't teens yet so I haven't actually touched any of its features besides social bunny.

I am just super annoyed that my hard earned friendships from before I had the expansion are all falling apart, because you can only have 1 best friend, and everyone is asking to be it resulting in negative sentiments all around, and for some now despising each other.

Is there a fix for this?? HOW is this a thing!?

    If you use MCCC I think there's a setting to allow more than one best friend.

    Thanks for letting me know, but I am not a mod user ?
  • I think Social Bunny is meant to balance that. Social Bunny friends constantly and slowly add relationship points even if you rarely open the app. Add that to the fact that the best friend rejection sentiments are as brief as you'd expect from teenagers. Within a week or so they will have forgotten about the whole thing.
  • I use MCCC because I have a Sim trying to fulfill the Friend of the World aspiration. I found out just recently, that even though I made certain to hang onto a part of the former version the settings.cfg that something wasn't right. My Rock Star fell out of a BFF with his wife. :open_mouth: I very quickly went into the settings for this mod and enabled the multiple best friends option. All is well, now. But you can bet I'll be double-checking the other things I had set. Luckily, not too many as I'm still in the exploring stage with this mod.
  • I'm not sure if it's intended or not, but if you immediately respond with the Admire Courage option after rejecting a best friend offer, it seems to largely alleviate the problem. Teens can also take the opportunity to cheer up those they've rejected as best friends for a fairly sizeable Empathy boost.
