Socialize with Co-Workers/Classmates

I think it’s a good way to start friendly relationships that make sense for your sims. I use it just to see who my sim ends up meeting at work or school and then from there I build the relationships as I see fit. One of my sims is currently having an affair with Bjorn Bjergsen and she initially met him at work which is a fun detail so now I can imagine it started as a work place romance. (This is as opposed to me just picking a random sim for her to have an affair with. I like making some of them enemies with their co workers too since it’s a relationship that makes sense rather than a random one)

I don’t think it has a purpose beyond introducing sims though. In the sims 3 (at least for kids going up school) it had two options on the pie menu - one, to meet new friends and two, to socialize with friends so I think that second option did build the friend bar
