Way too much phone action now during chatting
Maybe it's because I have idle chatting (meaningless small talk) modded off, but the three teen sims that I just had chatting paused to get their phone out about 15 times in a three minute conversatio...

When I first saw it (seconds after updating and loading the game) I thought it was a bug. Along with “change the phone color” issue that was already reported, it makes sims glued to their phones almost 24h a day.
It is annoying and no fun. Especially that it was slapped on all sims no matter age and species. Rampaging werewolf shouldn’t run on all fours while looking at their cellphone and this is exactly what they do now, every single time. As well as old vampire hiding in his mansion. And what about sims with technophobe lifestyle? This makes no sense for them. They would use phone only when in danger or for practical purposes.
I like the new covers and update to the phone design as it needed refresh, but idle animation should be removed. With some tuning it could become teenagers only action. Children don’t have it (I guess because they can’t use social bunny app), unfortunately we can’t have house with only children. ?
Before the update sims would occasionally use phone by themselves like web searching or play the game, but it was REAL action that gave them some fun. I could get behind that. But this one doesn’t give them anything, it’s just empty animation.
