Sims appearing on lot after a phone call.
Arynshiar:
I'm not sure if this is a glitch, but it sounds sort of related. When I'm playing, my sim teens can no longer go on dates. They'll get permission, call up the sim, I get the box saying "cool" and all that...and then right after the kid hangs up, the date walks on to the property like they've been called to come over. Kid never shows up later with the car. They just show up on the lot after I call.
Sneak out still works though...so I suppose all my simteens will have to make do. Darn. It's not a big deal, but i'm wondering as to why this is happening. If it's related to the mysteriously appearing sims thing above.

I had always thought that this behavior was some sort of unusual feature, since it only happens rarely for me. I'm not sure why, but it seems to happen much more often on lots with basements than on any other. It might be related to 'brought home friends' who appear teleported into the basement instead of getting off the bus?

I've had that happen since I installed JM's phone hack, but it only occurs if one Sim is using a cell and other using a landline at the same time. If I cancel out the cell phone call, no popup visitor.
Given Seelindarum's claim that it's an EA glitch, I'll move out the phone hack and see if I can replicate it.
I am using 'phonehack' now, and I have had this issue both before and after. Now that you mention it, though, I had not seen it for quite a while, then the behavior returned recently. It still is not common, but there definitely seemed to be a break in it for a while. Perhaps there is something to this, or maybe it is just sadorandomness.

You should definitely be getting a dialog box asking whether the date should be at home or on a community lot, and this should be the first thing after the phone call. If you are not getting that, then something is broken.

No, only if you ask them out. If they call you they always want to go downtown.

Thanks, this is great!
And here I thought I was responding to this post:

I have never experienced the teleporting phonecallers effect, not even during the morning 8-man autoyak fest. Something non-Awesome is likely producing this, as this issue SHOULD have been eliminated as a result of the Pets changes to the way phone calls worked.
The "phonecallers turning blue on the phone" issue is fixed in the warmthfixes.
