how do you make friends?

aaronrulz · August 2018

How do you make friends for your sims? Do you cheat them? Go out to venues to meet people? I usually cheat them but was curious how others did it.

I go to karaoke bars, San Myshuno Festivals, join clubs, go to nightclubs, lounges, and sometimes just walk down the street.

If I'm starting a sim out I usually form slight relationships with the neighbors (welcome wagon, dance and chat) and some walkbys. They build the relationships when they need social by inviting them over and either getting social and fun or cloudgazing. I usually stick with a few sims to build relationships with in the beginning.
I'm usually jumping between a few aspirations and then as quickly as I can I buy the incredibly friendly trait.
Once I have that I have my sim meet more people since they start off with a great boost to friendship immediately. I delay my sims having active jobs until they have this trait even because it's so much easier and I can pat myself on the back for working the game to my advantage. It makes many other aspirations easier also.. like friend of the world, serial romantic, party animal ect..

If I'm trying get specific sims to meet, I usually toss them in a dummy club to establish a relationship and then delete the club. Then I'll have them hang out somewhere.

I never had to cheat relationship values. You only have to meet a sim 2-3 times and chat them up and they're a friend. I also like to get the "Incredibly Friendly" reward trait, that way my sims can pretty much be friends instantly with any sim I want them to.

I generally go to a community lot and chat up whoever shows up.

Exactly this
I like to play for multiple generations, so I usually make a “play date” club. This way my Sims can make friends with their classmates, and then I use the cake to age all the friends together.

i create them, plop them down in the world, and then have my sim go out and hope they'll run into them. if they don't after a while i just have my sim visit their home.
i don't cheat the actual relationship. the relationship cheat is kinda buggy and building a relationship isn't hard at all.

Scumbumbo mod "phone chat longer/gain friendship", I hate having visitors.

Mariefoxprice83 · August 2018

I mostly use clubs for friendships.

Kathykins · August 2018

It depends. I don't go out of my way to make friends for my sims. Usually it will happen anyway, some time. I do cheat some friendships, like in rotational play, if I want my played sims to be friends with eachother. Or if there are townies I want my sims to hang out with.

I absolutely do cheat quite often, using the UI Cheat Extension mod. I also always pick the Incredibly Friendly trait (and Observant, since CAN take quite a while to know all the traits the "normal" way).

paradiseplanet · August 2018

I simply spam-chat the sims I want them to be friends with; I can get them to friend status if I do that for a day.

VanPelt81 · August 2018

I do cheat some friends together (mainly if they are supposed to have a long history), however I also have sims make friends the organic way.

KirbySkywalker · August 2018

I go to dance clubs, queue up some dancing and go AFK. When I come back I have 3-5 new friends.

After I have several friends I start a club and pick social perks and social actions. Then I go afk and let the relationships grow.

Anybody else have any afk tricks? For making friends or anything else?

ParmaViolet87 · August 2018

I just get my Sims out there and have them talk to Sms I have a good 'feeling' about. Then I dig around for their traits and if there's a match, I play with that

Also clubs are a great way for making friends. Just add everyone who is eligible to join and after a few meetings you should see the green bar growing

LissyK9 · August 2018

I like to make friends for my sims's kids from school, or find an adult sim's co-workers and make friends with them. The clubs system from get together is a great way to make friends with similar sims though too.

ListentoToppDogg · August 2018

Usually through the welcome wagon. Hilariously, I think my sims with the most friends are the ones I've had chat with random people when they take their dogs for a walk.

PninaSimmer · August 2018

Usually walking down the street or bars. I also LOVE the SimDa Dating App Mod. It is an essential in my game nowadays.

rydenl · August 2018

I usually travel to different venues or go to the park. I always have my Sim socialize while at work/school, and then text or chat with them later. The Welcome Wagon is always good too and enjoy the random pick of sims that bring fruitcake.

Lyrie · August 2018

They usually go out and meet but if I don't like the pickins' or I feel an age group is lacking I go to the gallery choose some sims and plop them down or in not in world. then I either let them meet naturally or help them meet. As for building the relationships, I let them grow and fall apart naturally by interactions, outings and clubs.

cchant86 · August 2018

No cheats. I usually just send them somewhere I expect a lot of townies to congregate (like a gym or a park, maybe the bars at night) and let them socialize away. The festivals have also been a good place to make friends.

gummybear0724 · August 2018

My sims don't have friends. Relatable haha.

calaprfy · August 2018

I'll use things that boost relationships such as dancing, playing foosball and the clubs system.

I allow my sims to choose their own friends (ie. I don't force them to chat to anyone, they must start it). To get the best results for this, send them out to a community lot when their social need is lagging.

luxsylvan · August 2018

I'm the worst with my Sims and their friends! They're acquaintances with all and friends with none. If they happen to have a lot in common with someone then maybe I'll invite them over from time to time or call them. I won't usually cheat it unless I'm in a rush with my storyline though.
