Please use this thread going forward Constant phone calls and text messages | EA Forums - 11883809
Yeah, I'm kind of introverted so maybe my sense of "too many phone calls" is a lower number than some, but my feeling is that once your Sim makes a friend your Sim's friend will hound you to death day and night.
Sim's friend: is on doorstep while my Sim is doing something else and I don't notice, oops, but also we're doing something else.
Sim's friend: Hi [name] it's [name] I'd like to come over is that okay?
Me: sure
Sims hang out and have some fun chatting
Sim's friend: I should really get going thanks for hanging out with me
Sim's friend, the second they're gone: Hi [name] would you like to hang out tonight?
Me: no, you just left
Sim's friend: Hey [name] the spice festival is going on let's go try the spicy chili!
Me: No.
Sim's friend: So hey I have a crush on someone should I go for it?
Me: I honestly don't care but sure, go for it
My Sim: *goes to bed*
Sim's friend: Hi [name] I'd like to come over and hang out is that okay?
Me: NO IT IS NOT OKAY IT'S 2AM AND WE HAVE WORK IN THE MORNING STOP CALLING
My Sims are now getting calls while they are at work and still getting them in the middle of the night.
Scam calls in real life are really annoying and in the Sims they are also really annoying. These started after adding Eco Living.
I chose "money, money, money" on the inheritance call to see what happened and wished I hadn't. She got a tense mood for about a week and wouldn't do much because she was "too tense" to do anything. I was working on a scenario, a career, skills, friendships and hobbies as she was a new Sim but was stuck until the time ticked down. Even filling her social mood was tricky as she was barking at everyone and yelling her phonecalls.
She's also signed to Dinky Beats label and the calls/messages from them are at about 2am. Plus she gets warnings to release new music or be dropped when she releases new music daily. So there's not really any need for a 2am reminder.
