Sims sure are addicted to downtown.
Well, I would be too if I'd never had anyplace to go before. :)
Dizzy2 has a hack that "auto-laterals" calls, so you don't get the dialog box asking for the other person, they either call the other person to the phone if they are home, or inform them they aren't home if they are not. Someone said this works with Nightlife. Can you confirm this, Dizzy2?

Most of the challenges out there specify 'No Cheats, No Hacks' meaning nothing that really changes the gameplay. In this case, the only thing that really changes is that you can leave your sim unattended on the phone and get relationships all the way up. This makes life too easy :) the point of challenges is to CHALLENGE you.
I've talked to Pinstar about this, and my partner in crime Violet Kitty, and we all agree that the setting the phone ringer, having people call who are actually HOME (ie, no children in the middle of the day) and getting rid of the spam calls are all acceptable to keep the sanity of the players. These are things that dont' really change the gameplay.
So if Almighty god would make this hack, then it would be allowed in Legacy, and all of VK/TT's contests :) I'm working on the designers of Royal Kingdom, Rights of Women, and Prosperity :)
These are the current Challenge designers, I am betting (if I were a betting type of person) that there are others who would be using a modified hack if it were available.
So PLEASE, Almighty, PLEASE, when you are fixing the phone hack for NL, consider pruning it back to just affect the calls, not the relationships.
I'll send you some homemade chocolate chip cookies! How is that for a bribe?

It would have to go through numerous drop boxes in several countries including, but not limited to Kazakstan and Namibia, and take 6-8 weeks to get to him. I'm afraid they'd be quite stale by that time.

I don't remember, but can't you use the computer to invite someone over? Might be a good alternative to using the phone.
Its Hit and Miss with the computer. The person you want to invite over has to actually be chatting on the computer. Good luck if your neighborhood has a Downtown and one or more college attached to it.

Yes it does, thank goodness. And I see it in action several times a sim day in large family lots. :P
