Despite the update adding likes/dislikes phones/computers. It just makes when "you do have to use these items" by being rewarded with a negative moodlet. I'd rather alternate gameplay. Making "only have mobile/computer option" to do something even more annoying because now you upset your Sim by using mobile/computer (since there is no alternative).
Naturopath from EbN a nature themed pack has multiple computer daily tasks and my Sims do not have a computer on the lot making it harder to get promotions. I think that too much of the game relies on "use computer/phone" to get things done and it really ruins immersion. Off the Grid is missing many magical items (and lanterns) making it harder for magical based Sim functional decor/lighting/etc. lifestyle as well.
I really think we need 1-2 options. An era alternative for this who play era based games and/or a magic alternative for those who play magic based games. Simply if computers/mobiles turned off a non-computer/mobile option would be available instead. Such as the mailbox, or bring back the newspaper, a crystal ball (magic alternative), etc. Books/scrolls for writing/work tasks/etc.
