Hello everyone. Question, I have a bunch of friends in my list that have not been online in like forever. I get tired of wasting my time going through their town to find stuff. Now don't get me wrong. I love seeing what they have done. But it's still a waste of time. I have moved them to "hide" and I go back to check on them once in awhile. But if it's over a couple of months I would like to delete them so I can add more. How do I delete friends ? Please help. Thanks. P.S. if you want to add me. Feel free. I play daily

All you do is go to your list of friends and click their name or picture and it should have a button that says "remove" on it.

O M G !!!!!!!!! Now I really feel stupid

There's no point having neighbours that don't play. They're no benefit to your town, nor are you any benefit to them! I delete inactive neighbours whenever a new act starts and I can see they haven't earnt any event currency! :)

The delete feature never works for me. I always get the error message that it can't sync at this time. So I am stuck with the friends I have.

I've had to do a network reset to fix the issue in the past. And sometimes even that doesn't help.

Doh! I forgot. You can use the Origin application (Mac and PC) to manage your neighbors. You can also install some other apps from EA on your device that use the same neighbor system. Scrabble I think?

Totally agree - 9/10 times logging out and back in to your game/EA/Origin Account seems to resolve the issues around adding or removing neighbours. :)

I’m kind of feeling like I want to delete family right now, but for different reasons and in real life, not this game.
