@ModerateOsprey, Yah, that's what's most annoying about it! And it happens at a time where sims are asleep and the game is in super-fast-forward, at least in my game. Which stinks.
I dug into the problem, and it's caused by two specific gig types, though the game has like 6 of them. 4 of them only give you the phone calls if you have an active sim in the relevant freelance career, but for fabricating and interior design, the code to check for the freelance career was not included by EA for some reason.
There's a mod to fix this by Zero that I found, and I made a quick fix of my own for the fabricator calls.
