First, thanks for all the wonderful hacks you create!!
I really miss being able to set the number of rings on the phone, and the ability for my Sims to talk and restore their relationships to 100 before hanging up. The unnecessary calls, the phone ringing back to back to back, as soon as my Sim hangs up, it's ringing again!....is driving me insane! HELP!
Any clues on when this hack will be ready for NL? Thanks! ---green

It is currently in testing and may be ready soon. You may also wish to volunteer to test specific aspects on the chat, if you're so desperate.

I would be more than happy to help do testing if you need people.
Just PM me with a dl link and what functions you want heavily tested. That hack is the only one I am really waiting on, the others are just nice additions. Phonehack is required to have relationships at all.

I will, I will, I have removed almost all of my phonesfrom the game, the phone ringing is driving me batty too. I even hate my own phone at home. I have an unlisted number and the rest of the time I let the machine pick it up.  |

Ah yes--I have a popularity sim working on her 30 best friends want, so it won't be long before the phone starts driving me insane. It's marginal now but it sure makes me realize how badly I miss being able to turn off the ringer!
And here I thought I was the only one who got put out at their own phone! LOL This evening was another one of those 'it never fails' nights. We can go for a week without the phone ringing more than once a day, then as sure as the family decides to sit down and watch a movie or play a game, the phone will ring at least three times and someone will invariably show up at the door.

I've got Sims with over 40 best friends and the phone doesn't ring off the wall. Here's how I maintain friendships: Have a party, invite 8 Sims who have around 80 daily relationship. Do a single Admire/Bust a Move/Gossip with each party guest to get the relationship up to 100 daily. This usually gets a Roof Raiser party, and everyone has their relationship maxed. And only has to be done every 10 days with each group of 8 guests. These people won't call any more to ask "Why haven't I heard from you?" except very seldom: I get a call from someone who just left a party. Weird. Hook |

Well, obviously they were calling back to see if you could find their hat/glasses/phone/coat/panties/etc they left behind in some incriminating location, and also ask for the recipe for that wonderful Baked Alaska you served.  |

The worst thing is getting a call from someone who says "Hey, I haven't heard from you etc, etc....when you just spent the best part of the previous hour talking to them on the bloody phone!!!!!! Arrrrrghhhhhhhh!!!!!!  |

He can get his undies back when he comes to leave flowers. Or when he brings something nice. I've had dream dates bring big screen TVs, DJ booths, a piano and the §5,800 vertical fountain (which I promptly sold, this being in a tiny college house). Dating for fun and profit! Hook |

I once had a test couple to see if woohoo would build body skill. Unfortunately, it does not. Unlike real life, where woohoo is definitely an aerobic exercise! But I've never had a broken bed. Hook |

Yeah... Woohoo should definitely build body skill....... Though perhaps in a G rating game it wasn't 'allowed'  |

I almost don't have calls - just after I finish to play a family, I open the SimPe, and raise their relationships with their friends to 100/100 (best friends only). I have only one call a day, or inviting to outing... . |

Dizzy's lateral calls mod also seems to stop the "Why haven't you called?" calls. Since I installed it, I haven't had a single one.

I've installed the new updated phonehack. So far so good EXCEPT, setting the number of rings doesn't seem to work. It still keeps ringing and ringing beyond whatever number you set it for.

I've tested it as well. Sometimes the sim that calls you will suddenly be summoned in front of the door. lol Otherwise, it seems to work great! |

I've also started testing this phone hack, and so far-so good....except, like Pearl said, setting the ringer does not work. (I'm playing in Uni right now) I tried deleting all the phones in the dorm, and re-buying them, and then setting the ringer, and that still did not work.
At one point, when my Sim went to sleep, the phone rang constantly for like 7 hours straight on high speed!
She was able to call the Taxi and invite friends over just fine. She talks to others on the phone until she's ready to hang up, meaning that she spoke past the time the Daily hit 100.

um well er, it seems to need a little more work. I had the same thing happen when I used it, I set it on 5 but it just kept on ringing off the hook, but that is not the weird part, all three of my sims were talking to different people on their cellphones and then they hung up and I had them eat and go to bed. Next thing I know, two of them are out of bed, so I am outside looking for tombstones, thinking that a ghost woke them up but I couldn't find any tombstones, so I go back into the house and there are two of the people that they were talking to, one was walking up the steps and one was upstairs already playing pinball. I guess the all-in-one NPC let them in because I have her turned on to greet all doorbell ringing sims. But the other options work, call a date, call repair, manage groups etc, so you are getting close. I am so happy. I will be willing to test any further updates for you. thank JM, you rock.
