Phone Sort of Hack
J. M. Pescado:
There's also the fundamental untenability of maintaining umpteen-million-versions of something. Maintaining multiple varieties of everything exponentially increases our maintenance overhead. Given how high the workload already is, if we started doing this, you could expect to see the NL version ready sometime after the next expansion pack is out.
Motoki:
The why haven't you called me calls have to be the stupidest feature ever. I could at least see if them if they actually chatted for a bit and got their relationship up some, but no. :p It could easily be done as a pop up message in the corner, like the one you get when you lose a friend, except in this case as a warning. If it were done that way, it would be far less obnoxious and intrusive. The fact that it is done the way it is currently done just proves that no one at Maxis plays the damned game under normal gameplay for any signifigant period of time and that either they have no playtesters or they don't listen to them.
I also resent that the damned sims pick up the phone autonomously answer the phone. It's my right to ignore it if it I want even if it ringers for hours and annoys the shit out of me. And it makes no sense that you actually get a prompt to answer yes/no when someone calls for a sim who is clearly out (the result is the same duh!). The sim should autonomously tell the caller said person is not home without waiting on interaction from you.
gali:
Sell the phones, and buy one only when you want your sim to call anyone...:). I did it before the phonehack was made. Better than to go insane...:).
Motoki:
Well I do but it's a pain and sometimes I forgot to buy one back before I quit that lot and when a sim on another lot goes to call them they get told that person has no phone. :p It's irritating and I have to bend over backwards and jump through hoops not to be driven insane by that damned phone and I'm sick of it. >:(
dizzy:
I don't remember, but can't you use the computer to invite someone over? Might be a good alternative to using the phone.
