The absolutely worst part about this feature is when someone texts to your sim to say "I heard you became good friends with your child / parent, he/she is really cool!". Stalker much? Stop watching my family pls :joy:
It's even creepier when the person who texts that to you is a ghost.
It also ruins immersion. I was really attached to some Sims who then died and I was a bit upset because they were my favorites. But then they kept calling the whole family all the time. Promotion? Phone call. New baby? Phone call. New friend? Phone call. At some point I really lost all that attachment I had to that ghost Sim and just wanted them to be gone forever like they're supposed to because they annoyed the hell out of me.
I'm also still baffled the "Silence phone" option just deactivates sound. The first times I thought my game was bugged because I was sure this option was supposed to turn off any notifications. But nope, it just deactivates sound.
Really makes me miss the old Sims games where you had to actually go to the landline phone and answer it or check your mail instead of being spammed with notifications against your will.
If one of my Sims actually had a real automatic interaction to congratulate another family member on a promotion then it would be kind of cute. Remember how Sims 2 had children running to their parents when they got a good grade? It was adorable and so much better than annoying pop-ups with the same repetitive message.
