Reduce the frequency of likes/dislikes suggestions popups and phone calls.

Hi, 

It's something that has been bothering me for a while now, but the game constantly harasses you with phone calls, popups and notifications. 

Could it be possible to refine the tuning of phone calls, so that people I'm barely acquainted with do NOT call me to hang out or ask my opinion on them dating someone? This is something only sims with a high level of friendship should do, not someone in only met one time because they included themselves in a conversation group. 

Also, the flow of the game is disrupted by a popup if a sim does an activity even once. No, my Sim does not enjoy dancing because he's done it once to fulfill his whim. The player should get a popup to add an activity to their Sim's preferences or dislikes under much stricter conditions that what's currently in the game in my opinion, as to reduce the number of popups we get. Making those popups rarer would also serve storytelling purposes as in "my Sim has done this activity multiple times and this popup asking me to add it to their preferences just now is cohesive with my storyline".

This alone would make the game much more breathable and enjoyable in my opinion, as it currently is kind of tedious. 

I think the team is already aware of that as they included a more "passive" system with the formative moments in Adventure Awaits that just stack in a submenu and you're free to pursue or delete whenever you want without disrupting the flow of the game. The likes and dislikes system would benefit a lot from being reworked in that way.

  • This has been said before tons of times especially the calling about dating someone or being friends with someone I'm like I'm barely yo friend do what you want. The Pop ups are getting out of hand give its not call it's a pop up about work or school, or the kids wanting to ask questions, then the festival pop up. The prom pop up. It's like with every pack especially an EP it's a new pop up added now there's a getaway pop up it will be good to say no now but it will become intrusive later.
