I hope it's okay to make a new thread to ask this.

I'm having trouble making BFFs, which is one of the essential tasks for completing a couple of the popularity-related aspirations. I've done it twice before but now I can't seem to get the option to come up.

The friendship meter is maxed out, the conversation is 'pleasant', both sims are feeling 'happy', and I'm looking under the friendly subgroup of interactions. Is there some other condition that I'm missing? Help would be appreciated! Thanks


Update: Apparently this is a known bug, but I was able to cheat my sims past the aspiration milestone.

just treat her/him a BFF bundle meal :P

You'll eventually get an option to click that says something like "ask to be best friends"

Thanks, yes, I remember seeing that when I did it before. But I've been interacting with the relationship maxed out for days now and it's not coming up. I checked with another household and it's the same problem there. Am I missing something?

I got the option with a few more other sims. I'm wondering if it's because the sim I'm trying to get it with is an adult? All the others were kids or YAs. But it's so silly because not being able to do it is totally blocking her aspiration.

Grant said, in his official forum thread, that it is a glitched aspiration. Right now you can only have one BFF in game so you cannot complete this. He said they are looking into it.

(See Ask Grant thread in MTS Sims 4 discussion.)

Thanks very much Tuney! I hope they fix it soon.

My sim actually has two BFFs, but the second one was initiated by the other sim involved, so you can definitely have more than one - but maybe you just can't make more than one yourself.

I saw a cheat to complete current milestone in another thread, so I'm going to try to use that to bypass the problem for now.

GreenCats- big big fan of your builds, btw.

Thank you! That's really kind of you to say
