AutoYakYak Macro Phone Caller (10/25/06)
jolrei:
An observation: I'm getting a situation where "call friends" is available on cell phones, but simultaneously unavailable from house phones (all phones in my game are maxoid - no cc phones). I tested this several times to make sure it was not simply too late to call, or during work hours, etc. It seems that even if my sim can successfully call friends with his cell phone, he can't do it from the phone in the living room. This is consistent for all my lots in my main hood.
I have installed BV director's cut hacks, running with base, uni, and BV. No nonawesome hacks are currently running. I will redownload autoyak to make sure it's not an issue of not-most-recent-update, but I'm pretty sure I have the latest. I run with debug mode on, and no errors have logged.

This is a known issue produced by changes introduced during Pets: It is no longer possible to create a Phone Plugin that will appear on phones. Therefore, the "Call Friends" option will therefore only appear on your sim...regardless of if he has a cellphone. If he has a cellphone, the option blends transparently in with his menu. If he does not, choosing this option will have him seek out the nearest standard phone to call with. There is no really sane reason why you would use a wallphone with the cellphone available, as you don't need to translocate.
Also, a new update fixes an apparently BV-introduced ADHD issue. There may also be an ADHD issue with auto manager checkin from phones on Power Idle. This remains under investigation.

OK, with you. Select "call friends" from sim, not the actual phone. I generally use cell phones anyway. I had noticed the ADHD thing, but the latest update seems to have taken care of that in my game.
AxelValentine:
I've downloaded this from the Seasons hack list and it still isn't working.
I get all the normal call actions, but no Call friends or family. I've cheched the relationship pnel and there are people they could call, but it doesn't show up in the menu.
jsalemi:
Is it a time when they can be called? If there's no one available (i.e., at work or school), they won't show up in the available list.
