AutoYakYak Macro Phone Caller (10/25/06)
Xav:
I've been using the updated hack for awhile and haven't seen any of that when a sim is on a cellphone or a regular phone so far. The new version fixed the issue of the autoyak not spawning on some lots though.

I'm having problems with this hack. When I use it, the sim I call shows up on the lot.
I'm also getting this when using the call...friends/family/targets tey talk to the phone for a few minutes and then *bam* the sim is on the lot, no jump-bug type resets on the phone user though, they just hang up, turn around and start socialising face to face.
I was getting this too and finally just macro-socialized with each friend until we were 100/xx and then chose "Call...Friends" again and when the friend showed up I macro-socialized.... kept doing that until I went through the whole friend list. I did it because I needed to keep my connections... but the next time I used that sim to Call...Friends he stayed on the phone and his friends stayed on the phone also... they did not come over to visit at all. So for the rest of that sim's life he was able to socialize with his friends on the phone as usual.
I was only playing that sim - I needed his lot and he was elderly so I was waiting him out. So I don't know if this will bleed over to my other sims. I'll check it next chance I get to play, but I figured someone more awesome than I would like to have this information.

I'm having the same problem. Every single attempt to Call...Friends or Call...Family results in the called Sim being transported to the lot. I have all the FFS phone-related hacks installed, including the new Pets service call fix. I didn't notice this problem before today.

I'm having the problem that if more than one Sim lives on the lot and the extras don't have cell phones, only the first one gets the "Call->Friends" menu item.
I noticed it first on a lot with 3 Sims. The first Sim had a cell phone and could Call->Friends. The second Sim didn't have a cell phone and couldn't Call->Friends, but was able to after she bought a cell phone. The third doesn't have a cell phone yet and can't Call->Friends.
I then moved their younger brother in; he appeared at the bottom of the row of icons. He didn't have a cell phone and couldn't Call->Friends.
In a later session, he found his own place and moved in with two graduated but not moved out students. The game placed him at the top of the row of icons for that house. After his move, he could Call->Friends. The Sim previously at the top of the list had a cell phone and could Call->Friends. That Sim's girlfriend did not have a cell phone and couldn't Call->Friends.
So it seems that having a cell phone or being at the top of the icon row allows the Call->Friends menu.
No, I'm not having the Sims teleport in when called.

Did you have an available, non-occupied wallphone? That's kinda necessary for the menu to appear without a cellphone.
