Don't hate me because I have to pee...

I hadn't even thought about the facial animations on the cell phones, but I paid attention tonight. I wouldn't let my sims have cellphones in Uni, but with NL, I'm taking the chance. When one of my sims missed work tonight, his cell rang. When he answered it, he was quite animated! It was work calling to tell him he missed work today (no kiddin'), and he was acting irritated by the call. Like he was saying "Oh, shutup!".
Those animations are normal. I'm talking about when they are calling "friends/family" via autoyakyak or just chatting on the phone. They barely move their mouths, and their arm that's not holding the phone seems permanently stuck at a right angle except every now and then they'll wave it a bit. Other types of phone anims are fine, such as inviting a sim over, calling college for scholarships, etc.

Ah, I haven't checked those out, yet since installing NL. They've been calling friends, but I haven't been watching their expressions. I do know what you mean about the lack of facial expressions with the cell, though. I posted on a thread about that on MTS2 right after I got Uni. That wasn't your thread, by any chance, was it?

No, I hardly ever post there, and I don't think I've ever started a thread over there. But someone commented that the animations were back with NL and I rather enjoyed them. I always thought it was a huge improvement over Sims 1 where they would just stand right by the phone with their face toward the wall and hardly move. In Sims 2 they walk around and seem more alive and natural. But with Uni, that changed. NL was supposed to have fixed it, but after the patch it's back like it was in Uni. But I took out the phonehack and it seemed to go back to normal. I have it in right now because I like the features, but I would love it if JM could look at it and see (that is if he EVER gets NL :P).

Since installing the patch I've noticed the red x's when somebody is in the bathroom as well. More so than what was ever there before. Maybe I'm just noticing it more after browsing this thread? lol In my game it doesn't seem to be every single sim..but its still a lot more than normal.

I just wish they could programme it so a sim on the phone for a long time would go and lounge on a chair or sofa while chatting! Isn't that what people do?
