I took my sim out of the last save she was in and started another one, just so she could have NO FRIENDS that would call her and ruin my gameplay.
But I did get Seasons, and silly me, I forgot all about Father Winter coming over on holidays. Now he keeps calling and knocking me back to slow speed over and over and OVER again. He wants to go party on the bluffs, hit up ghost night at the bar, go shopping at the Flea Market, go hang out at the opera....the guy is so needy, it's like he never sleeps thinking up excuses to call me and sabotage my peaceful relaxed flow again. Just when I think it over, he's calling to congratulate me on that promotion......
My game has become such an awful grind, and it takes forever to get anywhere when you're trying to do something, because I spend a so much time clicking this stuff off of my screen, and speeding it back to where it's supposed to be again. Ugh, just ugh.
I'm at the point that I actually want to kill him and make it stop, but that won't solve anything, because there will be another one. And no matter what you do, one way or another, this game just seems to find ways to get you no matter what with these stupid phone calls. On the last sim I played, it was the HERMIT doing all of this stuff!
I don't understand what kind of logic would have driven this to ever get programmed into the game in the first place. If this was somehow supposed to make everything somehow more fun, it's very much having the opposite effect. Getting annoyed to death when I'm trying to play a goal-oriented session is very much the opposite of fun, and I'm seriously at my wits' end over it. It should be a simple thing to log on the the game, and be able to just PLAY. Why it there so much stuff like this that makes it so hard?
