Sims now use their phones way too much.

I agree with all of you regarding the phone issue. I have always loved playing all my Sims games, even though many still have bugs (Sims 3 in particular). But I was always able to work around or with them. I have enjoyed Sims 4 as well and even bought MWS with it's bugs. But I don't like the way the Sims are so obsessed with items/electronics/phone and now they have made the phone worse. Hoping they do allow us to shut the phones off as I know myself well. This will frustrate to me to the point I won't play, and that's sad as I spent alot of money on this game over the years. I would love it if parents could take away phones for punishment if having bad grades or misbehavior! Hopefully they will do something as I don't want to lose my enjoyment of this game. With the way things are going, I probably will not invest in anymore future Sims games. Thank goodness I still have my Sims 2, 3 and Medieval games!
