I’m having the same experience you are with the “breaking in” and asking to be best friends. It honestly isn’t working great for me at all, my lot has the “private dwelling” lot trait and it’s always full of random Sims. So far it’s worked well once, my Sim rode that love ride thing and her crush asked her to be his girlfriend after it. I have been getting a bunch of cringe type things, my teen Sim’s school friends keep asking her parents to be their best friend, and one teen boy asked her step mom to be his girlfriend. So far I’m just finding it annoying, because everyone is just mad at each other now.

This part is the most problematic for me. I can live with the very annoying popups and calls, but why didn't they add an option to just click them away and not deal with them at all? Not every player wants random offerings and autonomy from other Sims.
The way they are now is very aggressive: Either you accept or the relationship with the person will be ruined!
That is so interfering with my own storyline I have in mind. I despise these random generated popups and calls, because they almost never fit the personality of my Sims or my own storyline I want to play. But now I am forced to either accept the offer and ruin my storyline or reject it and ruin my Sims friendship...that's not fair. What about a third option of just canceling the offer?
I hate this! I wish these popups and calls were part of neighborhoodstories, because then we could disable them in the settings. Options is all I want! Please give us options!
So I guess no one else is using the NPC autonomy feature? It doesn't seem to work as advertised. Not one NPC has asked any of my sims out or initiated a relationship other than being best friends.

My sim was asked to the prom by Kevin Puri (socially awkward guy from the trailer). It was not as friends, but as date. The pop up started with “So the rumors were true…”. They got few romance points after that. They were only friends before he took action in his hands. 😆 I liked that he actually walked up to her at the end of the class. That was really good.
But for the rest of the time sims only want to be best friends, usually when my sim already has one and I don’t want to change that for her. So she ends up being disliked. One girl walked up to her house during a date, I used that as opportunity to send her tons of mean messages on social bunny. Hopefully this will stop her in the future.
It seems to me this feature needs some tuning, especially rabid behavior of sims wanting badly to be BFFs. I don’t expect to see action like Kevin’s a lot as that was the first time I experience anything so exciting since I bought the pack (and I play it daily). I only hope this feature won’t be abandoned like life styles, which I needed to turn off.

He just asked. I haven’t seen anyone doing promposal in my game. I play on PS4 so no conflicting mods or cc. Maybe promposal can be triggered when sims are actually dating?

My sim was also asked by a girl to go to the prom, as friends. As Jasper is going to be attending university with an honors program...no time for girlfriends.
I did see 2 students with one prom posal going on...it was cute.
Because curious minds want to know, just why are there four proms?
In my house, dog hair sticks to everything but the dog.

Proms should be once a season in my opinion. I keep hearing how often it is held. I hope that they fix it.

I don't. I love having proms. I wish our adult sims could have a Love Day dance.

No, my Sim in my Flashback save had only just met his future wife. He was able to do the promposal thing just fine. First time I ran through this they both agreed to skip the prom. When he brought her back from the outing (he got invited to the Spice Festival, and brought her along with him) she totally burst into tears. Erik, being a guy, was a little slow to comprehend what was wrong. Then it dawned on him. Girls like to dress up and go dancing. That's when he asked her if she would like to go with him — as a friend. Sneaky little devil that he is, he asked her to be his girlfriend at the Prom!
I've seen a couple of crushes, but mostly it has been random sims asking to be best friends, regardless of if they actually know the sim or not. If you say yes it does not seem to improve the relationship as far as I can see. Have also had a few NPCs ask my teens to prom, all with a friend level relationship or better, but no signs so far.
It looks like we're going to have to wait for a modder to add crushes and adults being asked to be boy/girlfriend.
Maxis could fix this though by tuning npc asking your sims to be best friends too many times. Tuning that down might increase the chances they get asked to be boy/girlfriend.
Maxis made it seem all age groups except children would get asked out and develop chushes now we need a modder to add that to young adults and up.

My current household has a husband and wife who had crushes on each other in high school and now everytime they are in the same room one or the both of them are tense because they are around their crush. Shouldn't the crush buffs go away if you marry them?
I’ve turned off the NPC neighborhood feature thing and still my sim after setting him up with his boyfriend because of a storyline I enjoyed in the preview… But in my own way
So I’m playing the popular boy Liam (who lives on his own) and he asks his boyfriend Sydney (I think to the prom) but after that I get fifty million offers to the prom as friends (when he already has a date) or female sims as prom as a dates for Liam (when he’s flagged as gay) also a million be best friends with a sim, which I wouldn’t mind if my sim could have for than one best friend. I’m tired of reading my sim and another had a falling out, when he chooses another sim to be his best friend (because we don’t have a turn off feature or I forget.
I wish we could have a coming out feature and a more than one best friend option.

Did he prom posel or just ask her?
Yeah I haven't played any teen content yet. I was looking forward to this feature PRIMARILY for the adult interactions smh.

Yea its a broken feature. That was one of the main things that I was looking forward to with the expansion pack and its not even working.

Of course she had to say yes, even though her first baby daddy just had her baby....
