I like the drama aspect of it. I like the rare moments I do get social interaction I get like my sim getting a call from a crush or while my sim is at home I like the personality system. You can remove different parts of SOL though some are required to make the mod work. Do you have other mods like Extreme Violence? I haven't had issues with a ton of intrusive calls. I haven't had my sim being beaten up and robbed by household members because of SOL. I had that happen with Extreme Violence mod by Sacrificial but not SOL. I have been using Sacrifical's mods longer than I have been using SOL. I have been using Basemental mods longer than I have been using SOL. I have removed things I don't need because other mods do it better like Wonderful Whims, The Chemistry System, Basemental Sacrificial etc. I have the bare minimum usually installed for SOL.
