What era/century does your sim(s) live in?

I agree with most posters that the cell phone really destroys whatever atavistic inclinations you might have. I made a house for one of my sim's grandmother's and I didn't put a computer in the house and instead used the cheap tv and the gramaphone for entertainment to make it look sort of like 1950s-ish?? But the whole experience got ruined once the grandmother got sick (the only way to buy medicine being through the computer iirc) and getting texts from her grandchildren. >_<
