This is driving me crazy. I have my kids doing something, like homework or playing chess and those idiot adults interrupt them for a chat. I have searched for a long time and the only mods for chat ...
This is one of the things that doesn't bother me. I love when my sims socialize sith eacother while sims woek on other things sure it takes them longer, but it's nice. I often don't see my sims cancelling out my actions.
