Maybe the phone hack got reset somehow? I use that to get no phone calls, period.
Do your sims go on scored outings/dates though? Because mine do, and the phone hack doesn't seem to filter contact calls to only allow calls from sims
not met, so the phone still rings with ringer off and my sims get innudated with recurring 'new contact' calls all night every night the whole sim week I played them for.
Usually, when I couldn't stand the ringing anymore, I'll get the ones whose cellphones weren't ringing to answer the handset (thanks but I really don't want the relationship boost
), tell the caller whoever they were calling for wasn't available, and the same buggers will call again a few more times, then rinse and repeat every night for the rest of the week. I can't remember though, whether the number of 'new contact' calls were reduced if I had the sims whom the calls were meant for answer and reject the invitations. The phone rang so much, way too much that that's all I can remember.
Hate the maxis' double standards. Playables can't make outgoing calls after 2a.m. without repercussion (unless you want them to make some enemies) but they are ok with answering the after-2-in-the-morning incoming calls and nothing bad happen to their relationships with the callers.
I want the calls to stop is what I want, it'll be great if the phone hack has an option to also turn off contact calls for people who don't care for that.
