My teen came home from school. She used her phone so much during homework, that it was 6AM before she finished her extra credit. I sent her to her room and removed the doors. Only Maxis can save her now.

This is horrible. I tried to get my sims on a date at a restaurant, and the whole romantic moment was ruined by cell phones!

I shut off autonomy. I'm not seeing it anymore. They're wetting themselves and my kids go to school stinky now, but at least they're not glued to their phones and they're getting their homework done. Pick your battles. LOL

It would be nice if there was a way to just 'tune down' the amount of time they spend using their phones. I still want them to use it, just not like every two seconds. It would also be nice if we could see the million selfies they autonomously take all the time, and if taking the selfies would increase their photography skill.

Since the last patch things seem to be even worse. My sims constantly look at their phones!

I created a bug report about this on the EA forums if you any of you want to add feedback. Please also click the Mee Too" button underneath my post to let them no that you are experiencing this issue too.
