make a box to check that makes the sims stop autonomously using their phone. they already have short lives and they spend half of that life on the stupid phone, like real, stupid people. I play the sims to get away from real people who are addicted to their phone. please just make this stop. it isn't fun or neat or cute, it's just dumb.
@cbarber89Ooh! I would love to see wall phones or tabletop phones come back! In the game that is.
Stop the constant phone checking, I know it's the modern day now but there's enough of the heads down in the phone in the real world to have it here, you could be playing in sulani or the magic world and all they want to do is look at their phone, replace that animation for "admire surroundings" or "look at the massive volcano I live next to yet noone takes notice of or even acknowledges"
Yeah, they only lowered the chance for the idle. My vanilla sims take the phone a little less out if they talk. Still, I dislike this idle and is a shame we need a mod to remove it. Why can the player not decision if they want this stupid idle or not? Not all people want to mod and console player can’t mod.
I haven't seen that mod, but it sounds like a solid option! Bienchen has a mod I use that disables all autonomous phone use and at least for the time being...it works like a charm. (Really makes a huge difference for historical gameplay/challenges, too.) I always forget how bothersome that idle is until I have to play without mods for some reason or other. It never takes long before I'm reminded 🙃
