[GRO] Stay-Over Calls Never Happen

When playing in a long-term save you will notice the calls to ask to stay over never happen. 

However in a fresh save you will receive calls, until a point happens where no stay-over calls happen 

Its a really nice feature and just such a shame its been broken for so long.

As you can see form this reddit thread here: Does anyone just not ever get stay over calls? : r/thesims 
(over a year ago!) its not just a me issue, or me doing it wrong - the calls simply dont happen

I hope maxis fix it some day <3

    Sadly the issue applies to the casual stayover calls as well, the "tutorial" ones are in the same "bucket" as the normal ones from relatives/friends, so this is not the case that it's not meant to happen more than once by design. It's just overtuned with its cooldowns.

    That makes perfect sense, but it’s a shame there aren’t more stay over spontaneous invitations — I mean, with HSY the relationship proposals are very common, so it’s no wonder players expect other propositions to occur more than once. 

  • I don't get stay-over calls or invites at all. It's a shame this feature is broken.

  • It's such a bummer this doesn't work the way I think it should. It would be nice to have grandparents call and ask to come stay over and help take care of the little ones but it just stops working after a certain amount of time.

    In my current save I had it happen right away. Loaded the game up and when Growing Together came out my Sims parents called to say they wanted to come over and help out with the little ones. My household didn't have little ones but I was excited to see the call none the less.

    After that I never received a call from anyone asking to stay over. Even though it's a setting in options no one calls for those kinds of invites in existing saves at least.
