Im totally with you. The problem is some interactions are so deeply tied to phones for no good reason like checking bills information. Go to lifestyle coaching and many services are on the phone and computer. Why "move household" is on the phone is beyond understanding. This is something we should do from the region map. Buying a vet clinic, retail store or restaurant is already in the lower right in its own menu. One sim heavily relies on plopsy which only works with the phone...
It makes no sense
You wont believe how many mods I accumulated to prevent sims from constantly doing something with their phones. I got a mod to lock computers and other electric stuff to specific sims. Another to prevent most idles. For the rest I use MCCC's autonomy tuner module.
On top of it all for a long time I played a castaway theme in sulani. I managed to disable the phones for the sims but its not working perfectly. And I had to place a computer and something to produce power for certain interactions. But mostly I managed without technology. And then the game tortures my sims because they dont have any technology and cant do anything with deep uncomfortable moodlets.
It makes no sense.
So I fully support a button to prevent sims from using their phones.
