Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
This is not related to the sims using their phones excessively while walking, so I decided to make a specific topic about it. Whether sims are talking to each other or going out on a romantic date together to a restaurant etc, they are excessively using their phones. These are only some examples that I've tested. I'm sure the issue will happen with other situations like proposing and maybe even marriage etc. This is ruining the seriousness of romantic dates at restaurants and ruining engaging conversations between the sims etc, and this is going to affect my sims story badly. It's also getting irritating to see that phone popping out so often! Please do something about this.
EDIT:
They also take out their phones when they are in the middle of dancing.
