Tips for keeping the social need up?

I have a feeling that because I have the outgoing trait it's hard to keep social up. I don't have time to keep it up due to my career, because once I get home I have to tend to the other needs. Chatting online or on the phone only bumps it up by a centimeter, and (as stated above) I don't have enough time to go to a public area to socialize. What are some good ways in keeping my social need up that aren't so time consuming and actually work?

I have not played much and I could be wrong but talking to the mirror and if the gardening skill is high enough sims can also get their social need up by talking to plants, I hope that helps I have noticed its a struggle to keep that high enough
If that is true, just invite Sims that are walking outside your house (no need to go to a public area), and once they are in your house, multitasking will do social & skill stuff at the same time.
Plus, once your friend bars are high, these Sims come over from their own free will A LOT. Easy to invite them in, then.

No I work outside of home. But my issue is that my shift ends at 12 am, so when I get home I immediately go to bed, then when I get up I have to tend to my hunger, my hygiene, my fun, and then do my daily task that my work gives me, so I never really have anything I can multitask with
lol I have not allowed my Sim to make a friend yet just casual relationships because of what I read in other threads about Sims getting stalked from friends and then when they ask them to leave their home lots the relationship goes downhill fast, I am trying to figure out the rest of it and all that stalking would do my head in not to mention our sims cannot even lock their own front doors, cannot choose the the gender of the baby and some are reporting some sort of incest bug..............

Hahaha yeah they didn't do very well on when friends come over. I tried fencing my house and she walked through the gate as well. I wasn't going to delete the gate though because that would get on my nerves when I had to leave. I always wondered if when I didn't answer the door they would get mad, but apparently not considering they show up every single day and don't leave for about 12 hours..
If and when it ever gets that bad I will fence off the whole property takeaway the gate and tele-port my sims in and out like I used to do in Sims 3 vacation homes when they would buy extra properties and you could not lock those doors or gates
Other Sims wandering around my Sims house without being invited in is one of my biggest pet hates I just cannot stand it
That sounds Like fun I never played Sims 2 only 3 but from what people are saying 4 is a lot like 2, however I am going to concentrate on getting used to careers and collecting and by the time I have done all that I am hoping for some changes to have been instigated for all these niggles and perhaps a useful mod or 2
I am enjoying Sims 4 but went back to 3 today for a while just so I could play with all that lovely content I have and the open world

You can chat on your computer, send texts, call, host dinner parties (costs 100 simoleons each but if you get the gold reward you can make a 300+ profit each time)... There's a bunch of stuff you can do to keep your social up. You can talk to plants in this game as well, too.
How do I get that?
> you buy the independant reward trait from your aspiration points in the rewards store.. if your having alot of problems with social it would be a good reward to choose since it will cancel out the negatives from outgoing.
Also, if you don't have enough aspiration points, you can use this cheat: sims.give_satisfaction_points 2000
If you don't mind cheating.
I was going to say this one does help! But also gardening can be good once they have a high enough skill to talk to plants. I have a sim though who I just bought the incredibly friendly trait which gives her an instant friendship with any sim she introduces herself to. She has a bunch of friends so I just try to have her chat them up whenever she does get a bit of free time. But a lot of times her social bar is still yellow.. I may need to look into that independent trait too.
