Neighborhood Stories OFF button

Okay, okay, I really love this update and would never turn it off, but I see why some of you are hesitating to update, because yeah, to be honest, even if you intend to select no in every phone call option, you know, you could miss that one time and hit the wrong option and then BOOM that Sim will become pregnant or quit their high paying office career to take up work as a gardener. I'm generally very excited when my Sims want to make babies or new friends, because it's something I want for them, but when that career one pops up my fingers tremble a little bit before I hit the no option, unless it's for a promotion. I work so hard advancing their careers. My Sims and I have different opinions about what their dream jobs are. They have no autonomy in my game. It's funny that they think they can choose new careers for themselves all of a sudden. They think they can just throw away all my hard work leveling up their careers to do something else and I'm just NO you must keep doing the job I chose for you. :naughty:

If they don't add an off option in the main menu, there should at least be the option to x out of the window so you don't have to choose anything, you know, in case you accidentally click in the wrong place and alter a Sim's life dramatically.

What I would really like is they should make a type of answering machine so you can leave your phone on silence and then check your messages after the call to find out what it was about: date invitation, social event invite, inheritance money, advice about friendship, career, family, or money begging ... and then choose to call the Sim back and initiate the event popup. That's what I do in real life anway. I don't answer my cell phone ever. I return calls after I listened to the message.
