Phone calls and texts

There are way too many phone calls and texts, but they're also boring and predictable. What would be fun is if you got different types of feedback. Like say you get a new partner, and an ex or friend of an ex calls you to tell you to be careful because they were awful to them or that they're abusive (if they have the hotheaded or evil trait). Or with a friendship call, someone would tell you to be careful because they tend to steal (if the person has the klepto trait) or be false friends (with the evil trait).

Phone calls to say, "Oh, you have a new friend! They're cool!" are pointless. Who does that in life? But if someone is bad news, that could be interesting.

Either that, or stop with all the phone calls and texts. No one does that.

    Today my adult sims left the kids at home with a nanny to go to the romance festival. Next thing that happens is that the nanny (the kids get sent of to kindergarten as usual but I always hope the nanny will count as an adult staying with them) calls one of the adults asking if they want to go to the romance festival.
  • Phones also suck there aren't many various interactions for interesting and useful use. It's portray as the thing that Sims obsessed over, instead of providing a new phone interaction/application in every pack, that are used as a tool for organization/management. Like one could serve as mp3, other as schedule reminder (calender), *insert things you use smartphone for*
  • Are those calls/texts part of some DLC? Because I've never seen them...
    Logically, Get together seems like the likely 'culprit'.

    Yes, the 'I heard you became friends with...' texts are from GT. One of the reasons I've never bought that pack.
  • The random phone calls from The Sims 1 were legit awesome...
  • Well, when I think about it...
    Townie when I call him at 6:55 (AM): "I am sleeping."
    Also, random townie at 1:40 (AM): "Wanna go for a date?"
    Damn double standards...
