Game guide:Easy friends

The Sims 2
One of the fastest ways to earn friends in The Sims 2 is to obtain the Voodoo Doll from Twiikii Island. Use the Voodoo Doll to make friends by selecting "Voodoo" on the pie menu, and then "Friendship." You can also earn new lovers this way, which is helpful if you are a romance Sim. Be warned, overuse of the Voodoo Doll will lead to some nasty side effects...

The Sims 3
If you need fast friends, there are heaps of ways to get them. One of the ways I use is buying the Office Hero lifetime reward and building up Charisma skill. Then, you will become friends with your co-workers very quickly, if you pick the socialization tone. This varies from career to career. Examples are "Chat at water cooler," "Discuss News with Co-Workers," etc. An easy way to get friends, with no effort on your part.

But the next way is one of my favorites. Buy the Legendary Host lifetime reward, and meet some Sims. Then throw a party, inviting them. With Legendary Host, they will always come to the party, even if they hate you. Just invite the same Sims for a few consecutive parties, and watch the relationship values soar. Even if you mistreat them, they will still get a gain.

So, there we have it. Two easy ways to get friends, which are guaranteed not to mess up your game.
