BO - Phones for All
x 32
Do you recognize this?
You tell your sim to call someone, and there's that friggin' message that the target sim has no phone, and that you can't call sims that have no phone.
Now you can either quit the current household, move into the target sim's household (if they have one) and buy them a phone, or you can use some cheats to get that sim over, and slip a cell phone in their pocket... Rather annoying, isn't it?
No more of that! Phones for All simply pretends that all teens and older that do NOT live at the current lot, own a cell phone. So, as long as the target isn't a child, and you know them, you can call them, ALWAYS! Whether they really have a phone or not!
NOTE: Since cell phones were introduced in the University EP, you need to have at least UNI or one later EP/SP installed for this mod to work. Base Game just won't cut it.
UPDATE: Februari 15, 2012: The initial version had a 'feature'; due to an omission on my part, it treated sims of the current family as if they ALSO had cell phones. This was nice when the sim was called, because you could see their butt ring, even if they did NOT have a cell phone. But it was not so nice when you wanted them to call someone, because they didn't actually have the device. Also, it prevented you from using cheats to actually give them a cell phone! The new version addresses this issue!

So long it wont post. I just realized it was mistake again. I was trying to ring a child, one of the newson kids-and your mod says teen and older. My sims in AGS don't know any other sim bins but 2 children. Shame, I wanted the kids to make friends. Is there some reason it doesn't include kids?

Yeah, this ONLY works for teens and older, because children can not own cell phones... You should ask the EAxis guys why they did that.
Sorry to have you running around like that, Jo. I'm glad you figured it out, though!

Totally my own fault for assuming I knew what I was grabbing and not reading it through. <_<
In my main game I have buyable mobile (cell) phones from the buy catalog so I didn't think about them not be available to kids.

Yeah, if you don't read before installing a mod, then sometimes you're going to be surprised. Don't worry too much about it, though. We all make mistakes occasionally, and that's what we have friends for: to steer us in the right direction again
