Phone Sort of Hack
linolino:
features that dislike on the phone hack:
1 - not beeing able to call someone after midnight and beeing shouted at.
features that i like about the phone hack:
2 - that infamous "you haven't called me in a long time" call is turned into a real call
3 - i used to dislike the phonehack because of the ralationship maitenence check it does for turning the phone off, however, since i didn't have a version without that, i just played with it anyway, and found out that its not that bad, because they will turn off if a need is low, and i will just leave them talking on the phone for as long as i want. when i want them to stop, i just cancel the action.
However if anyone bothers to make a version without this, i would like too.
WAIT WAIT...
actually i do like the infamous call... hum.. can't decide.
You know what would be the best, since some people don't like, and some people do?
just like the option to configure the ringing, it could have an option to turn 2 and 3 on and off

You can still do this. When it says Phone harrassment is bad, m'kay? you have the option to click Harrass to call them anyway and get shouted at if this is really what you want to do. :)
Actually, one of my favorite parts of the phone hack is that your sim will stay on the phone until their relationship reaches 100. It saves me from having to babysit the sim and keep them redialing the sim myself, which is a pain. Sure it makes gameplay easier, and to me that makes it more enjoyable. It's not fun when I keep having to click through all the dialog boxes every time. But I guess everyone has a different style of play and enjoys different things. One thing is for sure, it seems a lot easier to make and maintain friends in Sims 2 than it was in Sims 1.

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?
Yes it does, thank goodness. And I see it in action several times a sim day in large family lots. :P
I love this hack. :) Do you think you could make any other phone type hacks?

Well, apparently my style is somewhat like yours, because I love this feature too. I would be extremely disappointed if Pescado took that out. Of course, Since he does this for no reward but praise I will accept whatever he puts out.

You know, I don't see what's the big deal about the sim staying on the phone part. Sure, it's sort of a cheat, but there are several ways to achieve more or less the same thing without any hacks. Playing chess with another sim, soaking in the hot tub with them, or relaxing on a bed and having them join you will basically have a sim join yours and chat continuously ignoring needs until they get critical.
