New bug? Some NPC's missing from PhoneBook
Gwill:
I gave my hobby mavens cell phones, and I've been calling them and befriending them with no trouble at all. I haven't taken it further than friendship though.
AnnaM:
My hobby NPCs are in the phonebook too, and I haven't messed with them in any way, so that's not the issue. This happens even without the "head for numbers" perk. And yes, calling them produces the message that they don't have a phone. (I may try giving them a cellphone, if no explosions are reported...)
ChillyzGrrl:
I've had this same problem too, since installing Free Time, only not with new NPCs. My troubles have been with Nannies, random townies, and more recently, a barista working in Downtown.
The barista is annoying because she called my Sim up for an outing and they fell in love on that outing. A couple days later, I go to have him call her, and she's not in his phonebook. I check to see if she's on the lot and she's not. I have him try for days to call her, at all hours, to no avail. She simply is not there.
If there's a fix for this bug, It'd love one. You got to all the trouble of getting 2 sims to fall in love, they ought to be able to call each other, maintain friendships and fall in love.

This bug could be caused by one of two things, an actual Freetime bug, or my game files are screwed.
Here is what I've discovered so far.
A new sim in a new neighbourhood created to test Freetime through normal gameplay with some maty mods and three types of CC (face templates, default eye replacements and default skin replacements). This sim met three npcs..The maid, the newspaper girl and the mail carrier girl. He became friends with the newspaper girl when she dropped by. She does not appear in the phonebook at all though, and neither does the Mail Girl.
The maid (Kaylynn Langerak if you're interested) is the only one that does appear.
I have tried pulling all maty mods - still the same. So I renamed the TS2 folder within My Documents and let it generate a new one when I started the game again. Still the same. So, I need to know now if anybody else has the papergirl or mail carrier in their phonebooks since Freetime, because if you do I will probably have to reinstall all of it. If you do have them in your phonebook could you check to see if any sims that have met them only since FT was installed has them also.
The interesting part is that the the 'Call Friends' option on a maty mod (phonehack?) includes the papergirl, so I know they are there somewhere.
ETA: changed mail carrier to newspaper girl
Sleepycat:
I believe the FT patch fixes this, it's up on the german site.
miramis:
Thanks Sleepycat :)
I'll have to wait to download the Patch for now. In the meantime Paladin has a fix over at www.simwardrobe.com
