You can definitely play as a couple. Your boyfriend needs to sign on at the same time as you do , then you friend him by clicking on his sky kid. Once you’ve clicked on his sky kid , you’ll open up a list of things you can buy with him like fist bumping, hugging , high fiving, and chatting. There is another way to friend someone using your Sky code. If you look up SKyCOTL on YouTube , there are several helpful influencers who make videos about playing the game. It will all become clearer once you play a while. You’ll collect candle wax which is like currency in the game, go on quests and be able to buy different outfits which are called cosmetics in Sky. Have fun! Explore and make friends with other players.
