First, go to Live mode and open the cheat console. Press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC, or press Cmd + Shift + C on Mac. On PlayStation and Xbox, press all four shoulder buttons at the same time.

The game adds your chosen number of points to the relationship between those two Sims. A positive number like 100 increases the bar, while a negative number like -100 takes points away. Use LTR_Friendship_Main to change friendship, or use LTR_Romance_Main to change romance.
When modifyrelationship does not work and what to try
If nothing happens, check that you enabled testing cheats first. On PC and Mac, the command needs testingcheats true before it works. On PlayStation and Xbox, it counts as a cheat, so you must turn cheats on first.
Next, check the spelling of both Sims' names and the relationship track. You must include the first and last name for each Sim in the command. Also make sure you type the underscores in LTR_Friendship_Main or LTR_Romance_Main.
Finally, make sure you enter the command while you are in Live mode. Check that the number you type sits within the -100 to 100 range for the track.
