So, while admittedly not anything game-breaking, the frequency of the idle phone-tapping animations in this game is quite disruptive to a sense of immersion, and also just extremely annoying. This is especially the case when trying to play a household that's very nature-oriented (off the grid, or just not particularly into tech), since there is no reason for such sims to be glued to their phone at all times. In fact and in my opinion, there's not really a reason for ANY sim to be glued to their phone at all times, unless it's, say, a celebrity with that fame quirk.
In terms of when this happens, I see it mostly when sims are routing from one place to another, though jogging seems to be a particularly consistent trigger for this behavior. Attached are screenshots of my werewolf sim, who somehow managed to use both front paws while rampaging, since apparently checking that Simstagram feed (or texts, or whatever) was just that important. Even if this universal phone addiction that sims have is by design, I somehow have a feeling that it is not meant to be happening in situations like the screenshots lol. Similarly (though I don't have an image of this), my sims have also been known to use their phones while half-submerged in the ocean. Which, again, seems like that's probably not the intended behavior.
I tried looking around to see if anyone else had reported this bug, but the last one I saw was from 4 years ago and was marked as solved, so... Here we are. I can live with it, as I have been for the past 3 or so years, but I would certainly rather not have to. Thanks!
