If people are going to harass me about being best friends then shouldn't we get more than one?

This seems like an oversight. In my current gameplay, my married couple are high school sweethearts and best friends. My sim has made a lot of friends, mostly through her use of social bunny. So they will barge into her house uninvited and demand to be best friends. But she already has a best friend so the only option if I don't want to end that best friendship is to say "No way!" which then upsets the person who asked and tanks the relationship. Obviously I can build it back up but then they want to be best friends, starting the whole vicious cycle over again. Can we get some insight into the idea behind this? Cause they don't even need a high relationship threshold to request to be best friends meaning it happens way too often. I think this sim has had at least 10 different people ask to be her best friend, and she came out of CAS as a teen meaning I didn't play her in childhood.

    as loner the "only one best friend" logic makes sense for me it doesn't really make sense to have several for me because that feels tad too extroverted i aint got that much energy to share :lol:

    i don't have hsy but if its as people say then they do have to tone down how often/easily sims get these ask to be bestie things

    like you should at least be good friends with the sim first before they wanna be besties


    and there should be neutral option that does not hurt relationship or make sims besties cause if bestie spot is taken it just is

    okay maybe id be okay with 2 bestie spots cause true if your sim has love interest they become the bestie quite easily and you shouldnt have to choose between love and friends at least not every day and with every sim maybe just with jealous sims or something

    My sim had a best friend, so at first when they asked I said no way. But that gave a negative tick. So for the heck of it I started saying yes to everyone and so far thats working. The sims are happy because I said yes and I got the notice that another sim wasn't best friend anymore but nothing negative happens. So I'll stick with saying yes to everyone.

    I agree with this Why can they only have 1 best friend? it makes it seem the sims are super possessive over each other when fact is it doesn't matter how many best friends they have... the more the merrier, it's not a very positive way for them to act towards each other when they feel they should be the only best friend.
