Social networking

Social Networking is a skill introduced in The Sims 3: University Life. The skill can be increased by taking pictures and videos, and blogging. By doing so, Sims will unlock new social networking interactions.

In blogging, Sims can select a blog theme and attach photos to their blogs. The more they blog, the more followers they get, which helps to gain influence with social groups faster, have better attended protests and get more Simoleons for donation and buyouts of their blog.

 * Sim Finder - helps Sims to easily find an unmet Sim
