INSTRUCTIONS:
Place in your MYDOCU~1\EAGAME~1\THESIM~1\DOWNLO~1 directory.
Install optional TalkModule if you want the smart-conversation-lengths back.
BUGS FIXED:
1. The parent of a child who is on the phone will not invite himself inside.
2. The Headmaster will no longer self-invite himself when he calls you, nor
will the phone freeze up.
3. You should now be able to properly invite new Headmasters even if your Sim
has married a Headmaster.
4. Teen Go/Sneak Out in Pets hopefully unfarkled.
ANNOYANCES ELIMINATED:
1. Teens can now go and sneak out even, or especially if, they lack a guardian.
This should not be construed as support for parenticide, although we're sure
some of you are going to try it now. In event that no adult is present, the
teen sim no longer requires permission to go out, because, obviously, he has
nobody to request it from but himself. The options to "Go Out" and
"Sneak Out" will appear at the appropriate times.
2. Harassment Call Lock - Ever wondered why your Sims somehow seem to decide to
go to sleep earlier when you're not playing? Tired of them simply screaming
at you even though normally, they never go to sleep under YOUR direction
until like 2 in the morning? We couldn't make insomnia-tracking to determine
which families are regularly insomniacs, but you are now protected from
accidentally doing this: If your sim attempts to call another sim outside of
valid calling hours, he will pick up the phone, then realize this is a bad
time and put it down before bugging the other sim. You may still attempt to
place emergency, service, transportation, sneak-out, and crank calls
normally.
3. No more dumbass phone calls: Friends who miss you no longer make stupid
phone calls just to waste your time with their whining: They will instead
make a USEFUL phonecall, so if a friend you haven't heard from in awhile
calls you to talk, instead of bitching about it, this is why.
4. Sim-children should no longer bug random adults that they bumped into on
some community lot by phone. Sim children should only call their relatives
or other children.
5. Sims should no longer place casual calls when they are NOT SUPPOSED TO BE
HOME. No more truant children calling for kids which are at school, or
people calling when they SHOULD be at work.
6. Now possible for teens to introduce people to adults using the phone:
Teens no longer shouted at unless phone call join is declined.
7. Now possible to invite headmaster if toddler will auto-transition at 1800
while headmaster scenario is in progress.
8. Calling in sick no longer generates a useless NPC to clog your data files.
FEATURES ADDED:
1. Set Ringer - Set the number of rings you want your phone to ring when an
incoming call is received: 5, 10, 15, the default 20, or even OFF, which
means you will not be notified or receive any incoming calls.
COMPATIBILITY:
This hack is for TS2OFBp2+ ONLY. It does not function with the previous
versions.
SIDE EFFECTS:
May cause computer damage, incontinence, explosion of user's head, coma, death,
and/or halitosis.
CHANGELOG:
v8.1: Pets fixes. Taxi feature reinstated.
v8.0: Pets Compatibility, Taxi feature cut.
v7.5: OFB Updates
v7.1: No talk animations bug fixed.
Restored conversation length feature as optional module.

I'm wondering if this silly bug means somewhere in Ikea stuff we can call our furniture on the phone?
Did anyone actually figure out how to fix this yet?
*whines pitifully about *absolutely needing* phone hack and wife *absolutely needing* ikea.
jsalemi:
Make sure you have the latest version of all hacks before whining -- the problems with the Phone hack and AutoYak have been fixed in recent updates. If you still have problems, you have either an old version of the phone hack hiding elsewhere in your downloads directory (it's a hack that will hitchhike on downloaded lots), or another hack that's conflicting with it or with the game (aka, tight pants). Get the clean installer from MTS2 and the Hack conflict detection utility from simwardrobe, and run both to find your problem(s).
ramseyazad:
they've been updated since ikea came out?
