Sims close their umbrella to use their cell phone and are exposed to the rain!

Seriously, I can't stand this anymore. Not only do Sims use their cell phones ALL THE TIME, they also close their umbrellas when they're in the drizzle/rain/storm.

Basically, they're walking around in the rain with their umbrellas, and then suddenly they close their umbrellas and are exposed to the rain.

All this for what? So they can do that annoying IDLE animation where they use their cell phones. Then, when they're done using their cell phones, they reopen their umbrellas again to protect themselves from the rain, after literally being exposed.

You guys need to review this ASAP! You also need to disable interactions like hugging while Sims are using the umbrella. I'm tired of them doing interactions all the time that leave them exposed to the rain in an illogical way!

  • @SimsTime the cell phone idle animations are too frequent as it is anyway! 😖I can see this being a trait for some Sims, but not for all of them!😓  Your point illustrates that wonderfully! 😊

    I support this!

    It is an annoying script and there are mods out there who will put an end to scripts like that, i started to use them because i nearly lost few simmers all thanks the script told them to check their phone when they were on their way to the kitchen to make some food and didn't take notice the sim were in need of sustains or to keep the umbrella up when they were heading home in a bad thunderstorm, The script told the sim to stop and check that phone despite the raging weather.

    That script needs to be tweaked or to be removed.

    @PugLove888 Yeah, the phone addiction animation makes me so angry. I would love for it to be limited to a single trait, if it has to be a thing at all.

    @SimsTime OMG! Yes, this whole phone thing is really killing the game play experience. It's hard enough to see this happening in real life. Do we need this in the game too?
