Worst part of TS3's smartphones. Stream Video on Phone and Show Other Sim Video were very common. Even a Technophobe, reluctant to watch a TV or use a computer, would have a blast with this little piece of bleeding-edge technology.
Surely all that video would drain the average data plan. So long as the telecoms drag their feet on improving infrastructure, and continue to be stingy with data, that will never happen.
True. I modded that out. It drives me up the wall. I can't stand it when sims obsess over certain objects. I like to have computers in their homes, but I can't stand it when they beeline for them every second I take my eyes off of them. Can't stand obsessive cell phone usage either. Those are the only 2 I have issues with in 3. Luckily, I have DebugEnabler to stop them from using those autonomously.
I had similar issues in 2 as well. I really do wish the AI was better with the attraction to certain objects. I'd prefer it if it made more sense in relation to their personalities and what I've started getting them interested in on my own. My sims in 2 never had a mobile gaming system or the mp3 player for the same reasons. At least it is an option to not have them in that game, but there were several things I had to mod out of that one too. :\
