Re: Phone calls in the sims
@pleferityy Hello! That is an excellent point. I'm adding my "me too" here. Everything in the game should pause when clicking the pause button! haha Hopefully the Sims team will take a look at this.
In the meantime, have you tried clicking the phone when there's an incoming call / text? By doing that, you should get a pop up window with the content of the call / text. This also pauses the game and that pop up should not go away until you choose an option to go or invite friends or cancel, etc.
