For socialization my busy single sims will just spam call one sim until the need is full.
In the sims 3 to get the friends I needed for the charisma skill I would go introduce myself to a bunch of randoms and then text them non stop until the sim reached friend level. I found texting in general to be the best because it was fast and no one ever got angry about the time of day.
My sims pretty much only eat and cook 8 serving garden salads. Old habit from when fires were way more common on the stove and then it was just always at the top of the list.
I build massive houses with every type of game play object on them specifically so I don't need to bring my sims off the home lot.
If I don't like a sim I just go into the manage household in sims 4 and delete them. They use to die, now they just vanish mysteriously.
Started a club that would clean, cook, repair and paint and only ever had them visit my sims house. My sim had more food than he ever would need and made tons of money off the paintings left behind. Despite obviously just using the other club members they were all still the best of buds.
