Under just what circumstances does a sim have a valid Target? I played some sims in Uni with only 5 or 6 friends, and they don't have this option either. ???
JMP will correct me if I'm wrong, but it has to be someone the sim already knows, who is available to call at that time (i.e., not at work or school). As JMP said earlier, if there are a lot of family friends this won't appear, but I don't know if that carries over to Uni.

Thanks for this it makes life so much easier for my sims :)

It's quite possible that Call/Targets wouldn't do what I'd like, even if I could get it turned on. That's hard to say since the docs are thin, and I haven't been able to get the right conditions to see it in action. Mainly, I was challenging Pescado's position that a household with many family friends has no need for more. I gave two examples where individuals may benefit (indeed, profit).
When you have enough to fill any job requirement in the game with a healthy margin, the option disappears since it is pointless (and needlessly computationally expensive) to run it, as your friend-calling selection at that point is largely arbitrary and not motivated by a strict desire to make specifically new family friends with no overlap. Aforementioned teens would end up moving back in anyway, to avoid having to create ANOTHER house (endless house spawning is both undesirable and greatly slows down progression speed in your neighborhood, as 2x the families consumes about 2x your PERSONAL time to maintain!). Even if for some decidedly masochistic reason you DID split them off into dozens of new houses and suck up the massive time sink doubling the number of houses your family is split into, the "call targets" functionality would be wasted in such a case, as overlapping friends would no longer be relevant.

Pescado,
Is it just my game or does Autoyak need to be updated for Pets?
Thanks,

ZZ: "call anyone" by dizzy2: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=72672
I don't use it myself, but this seems like it is what you want.
I've been using the 'call anyone' mod for quite some time now. The sheer number of sims in the phone directory seems overwhelming at first, but I just sort them by friends (the smiley face icon at the top right of the panel) and start from the beginning. The sims are listed in order from friendliest to least friendly. It's great for promotion time!
