No option to send lives to friends. Plus under friends tab only teams pop up. How do I do it?

Just to make sure we’re on the same page; by ‘friends list’ you mean you press the star button in the bottom left hand corner and then you press the second blue button from the left (the one that looks like friends)? That is your friends list- I think what you were referring to was your team list (reason I’m almost positive about this is because I have yet to find a way to become friends with your teammates) Once you are actually in your friends list- you can send your friends lives (heart button) and you can visit your friends’ home to get furniture options (house button) or you can visit random people and become friends with them if you want (the ability to do that is right before the option to invite Facebook friends) . So yeah I believe your issue is that you are not actually in your friends list, good luck
