Title: What the, Townie has no phone?
Post by: LFox on 2005 September 23, 23:40:43
Okay here's my problem I sent my sim to downtown to check it out and find her a date.  I found someone had them flirt and talk and such and when she went home i tried to call the person.  Problem is i get a message saying this sim has no phone.  Now i thought okay so i'll give the person a phone, i checked the entire neighbourhood, college AND downtown and couldn't find the person living anywhere.  The only conclusion is the person is a townie, how can i possibly give a townie a phone?

If anyone knows how to give a townie a phone or maybe where i can download some sort of teleporter hack so i can teleport the person onto my lot it would be greatly appreciated.  I searched for a teleporter on mod the sims but came up empty handed not like you can ever find too much on that site easily anyway.  I also checked simpe but saw no way of adding a cell phone to the person.

Sorry if this has been asked before but i found no mention of it, i hope someone can help me.

Easiest way to give a phone to a townie:

boolprop testingCheatsEnabled true

shift-click townie

add cellphone.

If you want teleporters, get one from www.simlogical.com

Thanks Jordi i went to simlogical and downloaded a teleporter i'm sure it'll fix my problem.  As for the testing cheats i am aware of that but if you can't even find the sim you can't possibly use the testing cheats on them to add a phone.

Also I'd like to say this forum is the best.  Any other i would have waited a day plus for a reply instead of 6 minutes.

Personally, I think every sim should just start with a cellphone. Maybe someday we could get SimPE or Datgen or some other program to just run a batch scan and give every sim the cellphone token.

Yeah i know what you mean that would be handy, i personally don't even go downtown to buy the cell phones.  On my computer it takes too long to load so i just use the testing cheats to give them one.

the weird thing about cell phones...

pre-nightlife I could always call a sim in the family bin if they had a cell phone - now I can't!

I seem to remember that it was the phone hack that let you do this.

darn!

the incessant ringing I could cope with...  the horrid messages when people call to say where are you I could sort of cope with...  I generally just use autoyak to make sure relationships stay high...  but not being able to call people with cell phones in the family bin is driving me nuts!

didn't realise it was the hack at all...

I have that prob but it is with a child and she isn't listed with the summoner(insiminator).  I think she is a respawn.  Next time I see her I'll change her into a teen and give her a cell.

That's a Pescado provided feature. Should be Nightlife enabled fairly soon.
