Rant: Hacks are ignored by Nightlife
gynarchy:
I agree 100% Motoki, I don't keep phones in the house now for that reason.

Tom: Can you PLEASE request that a turn the ringer off feature be added to the home and cell phones in some patch? I'm really tired of having to ditch the phone hack every time a new episode comes out and listen to that phone ringing off the hook and the cell waking up sleeping sims until J.M. can update the phone hack.
A sim's cellphone going off when they are sleeping should be fixed. However, another sim's cellphone may go off.
As for the ringer bit, that sounds like an interesting idea. I can mention it, but I don't think we have the text budget (localization for all languages) for it in the patch. It also sounds like something that could cause problems if the user forgets that it is on. Anyhow, I can mention it.

I'm sure a 4th is redundant, but before the phone hack I would buy a phone if someone needed to make a call and delete it immediately afterwards.
Set ringer... call display (without a hack) would be an awesome addition too
RainbowTigress:
That would be great. Have an option to turn off the ringer, but still display a Caller ID screen for the user so you can choose to have your sim answer or not. If the cell phone could automatically be silenced when s/he is asleep, that would be good. When two sims are sleeping in a bed and one's cell phone ring, it wakes up both of them, from what I recall (before JM's phone hack fixed that).

I'm finding now they can stash phones in their inventory too. A cellphone in a sim's inventory will still go off, but a wall or desk phone won't. And you can take a cellphone out of your inventory and stash it on the ground somewhere, so when they are sleeping you can stick it out in the backyard or something lol.
Not quite as handy as a ringer off switch, but it's another alternative to selling a rebuying, which doesn't do any good for cellphones anyhow because if you sell the wall phone the cell will still go off.
