I replied in your other thread but I don't mind repeating myself.
Call Friend and Call Family only show up when you click on the Sim, not on the phone. Can't help with the rest, sorry.
Edit: Could there be something keeping the sim from reaching the phone? If it's blocked by something it will fall out of the cue
Thank you! Since I haven't used the phone hack before I didn't know how to access those. Can you click on the Sim at any time and get those options?
Good suggestion - I checked and there was nothing blocking it. Actually, I originally tested it in a few different households so I was pretty sure that wasn't the case.

Call Friends/Family is a functionality provided by the AutoYak, not by the Phone Hack. Looking into the Call Drop, since the OFBp2 Phone Hack is teh same phone Hack as every version since then, but H&M may be throwing a monkey-wrench into the version detect.

Thanks so much - I was confusing the functions of the two hacks. I'll gladly uninstall H&M if I have to in favor of your hacks since the phone drives me crazy with the stupid "You haven't called" and I have been dying to have the hacks in place for this (Phone Hack) and to help w/friend/family maintenance (AutoYak). I think I have it straight now... :-[ Looking forward to your additional input.

I ran a game config the same as yours and had many problems with macrotastics and the phone hack (mostly due to the Sim resetting on mouse-over). There seems to be little known about this mixture of game expansions and stuff packs, and I was told it was unsupported. In the end I brought Seasons and this fixed all of those little problems. The Seasons expansion is well worth it and shouldn't cost too much on E-Bay (mine was £10 incl p&p) now that there are two later expansion packs out. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thanks for your input - I may end up buying Seasons. I am not opposed to getting it, I'm just not sure how many EPs my system will run. In the meantime while J.M. Pescado is taking a look, I removed the Phone Hack and AutoYak and my game is running perfectly again - if you can call it that with all the phone annoyances! >:(
