is there a way like in TS3 to make friends for your sims? like when you could do it through the mailbox

The short answer to your question - is no, there's no clicking on the mailbox like in TS3 which was a super easy way to make friends. But there are ways to make friends in TS4. Please note below:

You can get the Incredibly Friendly Reward Trait. I find this to be the easiest way to make friends & it's very powerful reward trait. You get a major boost in relationship, sometimes it jumps you to friends immediately. Other times you need to perform 2-3 friendly interactions and you'll be friends/good friends in a very short time.

Also there's the modify relationship cheat. This cheat does make a friend for your Sim, but the target Sim does not recognize the 'friend' relationship. You usually have to perform it both ways.

modifyrelationship 100 friendship_main

**Please note that there are no brackets in the actual cheat**
Hope this helps.

oh easy :) even with very low relationships stats if i turn on romantic music station i then have then site together next to radio and most times romance selections work. in fact i find its easier to have romantic interactions and high romantic stats vs friendships

i would imagine watching the romance channel together would also have the same effect

@zeldagirl180 really how?!
and @kay_blogs at first it didn't work for me either it took some figuring out... first you have to have testingcheats true on, or it won't work. after entering that you type in this, let's use jane doe and joe doe for example
Modifyrelationship Jane Doe Joe Doe 100 friendship_main

you also have to then do it again with the names reversed, Joe first because the cheat only works one way. if you want them to be relationship instead of friendship type relationship

I did have testingcheats on. All of the other cheats I tried out (skills, grades, aspirations, jobs) seemed to work, but not this one. My family glitched once and lost all familial relationships, so I was trying to put parents and grandparents back together and the cheat just didn't want to work. I haven't tried it again since though and it's been a few months. I'll check it next time I play.

you should have repaired your game in origin!!!
next time try that first @mavaria811

I did! I did it like 5 or 6 times, then realized it was just that family. Before I actually opened them again I saved them and the house and deleted the ones I was playing.

If only we could use a mod to "make friends" IRL....

Well the friendship is developing well but when I have my Sim initiate a romantic interaction the other sim isn't that receptive.

I can click the mail box and shift click and make friends actually...
