This is constantly happening to my sims, specifically from family members. In one sim week I received a call from my sim's sister every day asking whether she should have a baby. It is so annoying. I have neighborhood stories completely turned off. In another game, a child sim's mother keeps calling her to ask if she should have a baby. This is absolutely ridiculous.
Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? All the time, especially with family members who do not live with the sim I am currently playing.
What is your current game version number? Most recent update.
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except Star Wars, kits, My First Pet Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff, and Fitness Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just be friends with a sim (family or not) and play for a while. It will happen and happen and happen.
What happens when the bug occurs? I keep getting the annoying phone calls. There should be an option to STOP these calls, especially since they are coded terribly. Why are sims calling a CHILD to ask whether they should get pregnant? Why, after my sim said no, are they calling to ask AGAIN within the same week?
What do you expect to see? Either an option to turn off these calls altogether or for them to be toned way down to an intelligent level...
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes and no - I've tried with and without mods. Happens regardless.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Whenever neighborhood stories was implemented.
