I'm glad there are mods for players that use them. I've been wishing there was a disable option in the game for years. I have a Sim who lives like it's the 1890's and being off the grid at home, she rarely uses her phone because there aren't many options. But as soon as she steps off her lot she pulls it out and starts doing stuff like taking selfies. Although disabling the phone use altogether would necessitate adding things like landlines, newspapers, maybe letter writing etc. And that sort of thing probably isn't high up on the list.
