Hmm....
Phones jolt me out of any kind of historical saves, or when you take all your carefully hoarded Dragon Age Inquisition CC on your sim and strand them all on the Island in Windenburg only to see all of them happily texting away.
For me it feels like a constant reminder that my way of playing the sims is wrong. I liked to make a silly challenge for myself and see how it plays out. I made a survival sim that was stranded on a strange planet and had to survive and build and gather resources before accessing new tech and getting more people. Standard civilization-style. Now my stranded sim would text and chat and it would not jive with the story. Because that is not what the developers had in mind with the sims. It is now, today, current time now that I am supposed to play. Whatever I had imagined is not the way to go.
I am not trying to make myself in the sims. I am trying different times, lives, histories, worlds. It is more difficult now unfortunately.
This is often the way I play too. The phone makes it so much harder.
