how do you make friends?

I simply spam-chat the sims I want them to be friends with; I can get them to friend status if I do that for a day.

I do cheat some friends together (mainly if they are supposed to have a long history), however I also have sims make friends the organic way.

I go to dance clubs, queue up some dancing and go AFK. When I come back I have 3-5 new friends.

After I have several friends I start a club and pick social perks and social actions. Then I go afk and let the relationships grow.

Anybody else have any afk tricks? For making friends or anything else?

I just get my Sims out there and have them talk to Sms I have a good 'feeling' about. Then I dig around for their traits and if there's a match, I play with that :smile:

Also clubs are a great way for making friends. Just add everyone who is eligible to join and after a few meetings you should see the green bar growing :grin:

I like to make friends for my sims's kids from school, or find an adult sim's co-workers and make friends with them. The clubs system from get together is a great way to make friends with similar sims though too.

Usually through the welcome wagon. Hilariously, I think my sims with the most friends are the ones I've had chat with random people when they take their dogs for a walk. :D

Usually walking down the street or bars. I also LOVE the SimDa Dating App Mod. It is an essential in my game nowadays.

I usually travel to different venues or go to the park. I always have my Sim socialize while at work/school, and then text or chat with them later. The Welcome Wagon is always good too and enjoy the random pick of sims that bring fruitcake.

They usually go out and meet but if I don't like the pickins' or I feel an age group is lacking I go to the gallery choose some sims and plop them down or in not in world. then I either let them meet naturally or help them meet. As for building the relationships, I let them grow and fall apart naturally by interactions, outings and clubs.

No cheats. I usually just send them somewhere I expect a lot of townies to congregate (like a gym or a park, maybe the bars at night) and let them socialize away. The festivals have also been a good place to make friends.
