"Unplugged trait" to prevent autonomous phone, computer use and prefer other activities
One thing I've often struggled with playing the Sims is how often my sim(s) pull their phone out to autonomously use it, as someone who barely uses their cellphone for things other than text, email and receiving calls as a choice I wish I could see this an option presented to my sims too.
While I know there are mods to prevent autonomous activities, I'd REALLY love a trait crafted JUST for this. Which I'll call "unplugged" and would work well with off the grid game play for example.
Some features of this trait would be obvious such as sims only using their phone when you direct them to (such as calling someone, getting a job, ect) and possibly getting a negative emotion the longer they interact with it (such as if you told them to play game on it, browse the web, ect) or other forms of "electric entertainment" such as watching TV, gaming, ect)
While gaining positive moodlets for non-electric activities such as sports, reading books, possible with skill boosts or learning too?
I know we all seem very connected but I have a lot of people in my social group now that have chosen a minimalist use of their phone and would love to see this as an option for my sims as a trait too. I suspect it could be a popular trait too!
