Relationship in The Sims Social works just like on other Sim games, we need to interact with them to increase relationship or decrease it.
How does it work:
First of all, our Sim must have a neighbor in the game, which make us able to interact with him/her by visiting them or ask them over. You can add neighbor by clicking 'Invite' or 'Add Neighbor', and send request to your friends.
Do interactions by clicking on Sim.
If you do a friendly interaction, it will increase the relationship bar.
If you do a mean interaction, it will decrease the relationship bar.
If you do a romantic interaction, it's actually considered as friendly interaction, but sometimes it could be rejected too.
Each time you do a social interaction, it gives you various number of Social Points .
Example, for the very first time, your neighbor will be a total stranger, but by greet/interact with him/her will make both Sims acquaintances with each other.
You can make a friendly status by always doing friendly interaction, mean status by always doing mean interaction, and romantic status by always doing romantic interaction.
Each time a relationship bar is empty or full with a Sim, the player will get new relationship status, which may need confirmation (the other player is free to accept or deny it) or not.
Each relationship status will unlock special interactions between the two Sims.
When the player's Sim does not visit other Sims for a while, the relationship bar will decrease.
Quest Related interactions are interactions that available because needed for quest (a task on it). It can fall into any of the other three categories of interactions, such as the "Bah Humbug!" interaction being mean or the "Give Holiday Gift" interaction being friendly, etc.
