The Sims Freeplay – How to Add Facebook Friends as Neighbors

Everything is better with friends

The Sims Freeplay allows players to enjoy a version of the Sims while on the go. Unlike the PC entries in the series, Freeplay takes place in real-time and players must do every action for their sim. Another feature of the game is the neighbors system. Players can add another player as their neighbor, visit them, and complete goals alongside them. In this guide, we’ll show you how to add neighbors to the game.
