09/10/12 - First you need a Sims3.com account. Once you have have logged into your account, you can search for and add friends from the Sim3.com website. You can even add friends from your Facebook account. If you don’t have any friends with the Sims 3, you can access the Community Forum from Sims3.com and send friend requests to those in the forums. See this thread in particular: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/506125.page Click on each participant's green “profile” button and send them a Friend Request. Once you have friends linked to your Sims3.com account, they should also appear in Simport. From there you can interact with the Sims belonging to your friends. Hope that helps.
