Do you usually your give your sims house phones?

It depends on the Sim and the story I'm playing. But yes, many times I play Sims who live back before cellphones, omg...we did get by without them, lol, if it fits the story in my head. But if it's a medieval story in my head, then no, but I might find a cc one that doesn't look like a phone, maybe a pigeon. I'm more annoyed by every Sim having a phone in their pocket and ruining my story line, even if I'm the only one who saw them pull out the cell. That literally breaks my immersion.
