Revival of Sims 1 phone calls!!
sloppyhousewife:
Man, did I hate these calls - especially because of the non-interruptable "react annoyed to prank call" animation.
Liz:
I did kind of miss the "random chance" phone calls when I first started playing Sims 2. I get that they "evolved" into the career chance cards and added the "spin the wheel" element to it to determine whether it's the lady or the tiger, but it's kind of nice when playing Sims 1 to get that call sometimes just to say, "Hey, have a free $250 on us." It's not the money I missed (since, more than enough ways to scare up our own cash in TS2) so much as the little pleasant surprise of it. So I still like that element of Sims 1. I think it still works okay there because there's less time spent on the phone in general. But with so many more calls coming in with TS2 it would start jangling my last nerve in no time.
Sims 1 is a much more relaxed game for me to play - I seem not to be trying to queue as many tasks for my sims to accomplish in a given day, seeing as they're all pretty much gonna live forever unless I'm in a smite-y mood, so given the potential for a pleasant surprise I'm less fussed over the weird crank calls there than I would be in TS2.

Haha, I remember that the very first time I played I got the 'they're coming. Lock all the doors and don't leave the house' message. I was terrified and deleted all the doors and windows on the house :D
Oh, I loved those things. Especially the cash awards and the 'adopt a baby?'

I would often wait for the decorator call before deciding how to decorate the house. It kind of added a fun sense of variety to the whole decorating thing.
J. M. Pescado:
That call just made me confuzzled and I had no idea how to interpret that.
