>How to make friendsMaking friends is difficult because the mechanics are such that you can only use the same social interaction twice; the third time will be rejected until the cycle restarts after a few hours of game time.
>Fast way to make friendsThe fastest way to make friends is to invite them out to eat the most expensive food and choose conversation topics that are positive to their personality and and add it to do gossip during lunch. However, due to a DLC error, Sims who are not from an expansion pack have no interests, so they reject any interaction to talk, with the exception of the option to talk about interests only twice (game create random interests-related to personality i think? so that they don't reject the interaction twice) anyway they still gain points during the food eating and talk and etc. You will gain a friend every time you invite them out for a meal costing 300, raising the temporary friendship bar to 75 or 100 if you do good, although the long-term friendship bar will rise slowly while the temporary one falls until you lose it if there is no communication. Playing with an introverted personality (these meters are only deactivated-activated and affect needs and slight animations in a certain way, otherwise they are not very useful, the same as zodiac signs, it seems) saves you from quickly losing your social needs (more hiki gameplay lol)
>tl;drAs in real life, you need to spend money, time, and attention on other people if you want friends.
Sims 1 punishes you much more in that regard; you always have to use the most expensive items because they save you time. In Sims 2 and 3, this is almost optional.
>How to make friends with exploitThe other option for making friends is to lock several Sims in a hydrosauna-spa in your house and let them talk for hours trapped here. Most of the time, the friendship bar goes up quickly. Another option is to go on vacation and befriend NPC children. They always give good answers and are very friendly.
