Social

Social in The Sims 1
Sims crave other Sims, especially if they are Outgoing. Sharing a meal with a family member, hopping into the hot tub with some friends, or catching up with a neighbour are some simple ways of making sure the Social metre doesn’t drop into the red. Interacting with other Sims usually boost the bar, but sometimes it doesn’t; if you have a negative conversation, for example, or come on too strong (flirting where it isn't welcome), your Social rating will drop. Also, fighting or arguing with a rival won’t do the Social metre any favours either.

Pets Pets are just as social as Sims, so it is important to play with them reguarly and giving them attention. A pet in need of a Social boost will probably try ad get your attention. Playing with other pets can also help.
