No More Text Invites To Events?

Yes, thank goodness, haven't had those since the EL patch! Good riddance, really. I only go to the Flea market occasionally, no other festival.

I do have a mod to remove the job offers, but there are no options with it. Put the mod in, you won't get those offers at all. Also put in one to stop the annoying blind date calls. They are both by LittleMsSam, in her Random Small Mods section. Its one download with loads of small mods. Download, open the zip, then pick which mods you want.

I didn't mind the phone calls except the timing was off. My sim would get called to dance parties at 3:00 am or to a restaurant at 8:00 am in the morning. If the calls came at a normal time, I probably would have accepted the invites more.

Aw bummer I missed those too.

What annoyed me the most was that someone would call at 9:00 AM asking my sim to go to a party or bar that night and if I accepted, they would go straight away.

I loved my sims being invited out to places. The only ones I didn't like were when my sims got invited to places that were dry weather dependent. I found it annoying being invited to an event only to discover that the DJ Booth was no longer working cause of rain or snow.

I think its terrible that all the event phone calls are gone. It makes my sim feel friendless. I dont have eco lifestyle so the only phonecalls my sim gets is job offers. This is the opposite of real life. My sim loved going out and now its back to doing all the work on relationships themself. Please bring them back and give those who hate phonecall events an on/ off switch instead. It is so immersion breaking to organise everything yourself. It seems the mission of this game is to make everything as boring and lifeless as possible - no more alien abductions, no vampire visits and now no friendships for your sim.

My sims are still getting the calls occasionally.

Good riddance.

They're not gone just tuned down, since people always complained about their sim being harassed so much by these multiple calls. I still get them just not like four or five times a day or at those odd times. I get vampire visits indefinitely. Thing with that is if your sim is usually up past 8PM usually they don't visit or they're kinda just lingering outside the door stalking, but won't enter because sims are up and just leave.

Alien abductions actually have a hidden bar and certain things can actually increase it in the chance of being abducted. Or sometimes it might be pretty random on occasion my sim got abducted at a spice festival randomly.

Only thing right now with invites is that they're kinda broken Meaning when you get one and say yes to do the sim won't go anywhere be i ta party, date etc. So hope when the next patch comes it's fixed.

Instead of completely turning them off the way they did, I wished EA had put this in the options menu. This way it would give the player the choice on whether or not that they wanted this for their own gameplay. For my single sims, I loved having the invite out text, and not so much for my married sims.
