Hello SimProductions quick Q: will this conflict with scumbumbo's Call Anytime + Relationship Mod?

22 I will give him the key to the house of David. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them; when he closes doors, no one will be able to open them.

That's odd, I don't know if it's due to the last update but when your mod is in the 'gaming' section of the phone disappears (with the play and the web browsing - dunno how it's called in English); I remove your mod and the button on the phone UI reappears. I' hope you'll update it soon as they're really annoying with their phone OCD but I badly need that entertainment button on the phone!

Wow, that's very odd. So with the mod installed the 'play a game' option disappears? I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the heads up.

I am playing a version of the game where I pretend my sims are 17th century peasants. A big part of the gameplay is trying to keep them from being miserable in pre-modern conditions. Taking away their cell phones was vital!

Hey SimsProductions I am having a problem with your mod and thought I better let you know. I noticed today that if I have your mod my Sim will immediately upon launch uses the toilet then wash hands, then uses the toilet then wash hands, then uses the toilet then wash hands, this goes on non stop until I find another activity for my Sim to do. Then if she finishes the activity she will immediately run to the toilet and the entire thing starts again. If I take your mod out it seems to stop to the problem, which makes me very sad

UPDATE: Being OCD and extremely curious I did some more research because it just didn't make sense to me. So I made multiple characters 3 females, 3 males, some neat others not. Any males I place on the Bargain Bend lot (which is where I built my house) just stood there did nothing at all until I told them what to do unless another Sim walked by. Then I tried females each and everyone ran to the bathroom first thing, other then the insane chick that did some weird face thing and then ran to the bathroom. Each of the females ended up doing the use toilet then wash hands on an endless cycle until I found them something to do. I thought maybe it was the lot. So I decided to test another lot that had a maxis house on it. The males and the females immediately went to the TV or the bookcase and got books. That made me even more curious. So on the maxis made house I removed the TV and the bookcase and tested again. Sure enough all the men just stood outside the house twiddling their thumbs doing nothing and every single one of the females ran first thing into the house and began the cycle of toilet and hand washing. I am not sure if it is the mod causing this, or a game thing that is programmed that causes females to use their cell phones more frequently so hence with out the phone the mod is causing them to have to do something.

Hi, thanks for letting me know.

This is the AI system freaking out as far as I know, Sims desperately want to use their phone but my mod prevents them from doing that.
My mod does not edit any game files except for the smartphone interactions and right now I don't know why they freak out like that.
Why it only happens to female Sims is a mystery too, I really have no clue

The best way right now to get rid of the hand washing is to download my 'No More Autonomous Hand Washing ' mod. It should break the interaction loop.

LOL and with No More Autonomous Hand Washing she just uses the toliet non stop on a never ending loop. Although annoying it is hilarious.

I don't think this is working since I installed Get to work or with the latest patch that was released on the 13th April 2015. My sims are again always on their phones its very annoying...LOL
Could you please take a look at the mod to see if it indeed needs updating. Thanks

My sims are not always on their phones, but the teens especially are always taking pics of their date w/their phone. Kind of annoying. I have Get to Work.

THANK YOU! One of my Sims keeps playing games on his phone whenever I leave him to his own devices. It's aggravating. -_- Hopefully this mod will direct his attention elsewhere.
