Everything Sims 2

1.) Phone Check Fix by BoilingOil

With this fix, you can call all townies, downtownies, vacation tourists, service NPCs, Garden Club members and Hobby leaders, whether they have a phone or not!

2.) Phones For All by BoilingOil

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.

3.) Phone Makeover by BoilingOil

Combines several mods into one.
– Prevents calling certain supernaturals time of day. IE: Calling servos & witches at any time of day or night, no calling vampires during the day.
– Gives nicer messages when a Sim isn’t home and – where possible – includes at which time it makes sense to try and reach them instead.
– Call all NPCs including the BV masseur/masseuse

4.) A Collection of 13 No Incoming Call Hacks by Christianlov

A simple collection of 13 no incoming call global mods.
1.) Random sim-to-sim calls– It makes the phone line controller to idle forever, preventing it from generating random calls.
2.) Sim call– It will produce almost same result with #1. However, in TS2 base game, you will need this instead of #1.
3.) Bad report card- “You, Yes you behind the bikesheds! I Am your Headmaster, MR. MONSTER and your grades are a mess. Fix ’em quick or you will grow up to be a hill of beans. And also, don’t think you can get off easy by not telling your parents I called. I will come to your house and I will trash your room and will eat all of your sugary cereal! Then I’ll buy some more cereal, or wait, I’LL BUY THE WHOLE STORE OUT, and will eat it all on your front lawn while you’re inside with your malt o’meal, super sorry you ever failed calculus. Also, I will forbid any student or teacher at the school to call you anything but Monsieur Marcel Duncechamp from now on. How do you like me now?”
4.) Boss visit- “$Neighbor’s boss is interested in coming over for dinner. Hope you’re in the mood for entertaining. It could be a good career move.”
5.) Engagement scenario- “What’s going on? I thought the relationship between $NeighborLocal:0 and $NeighborLocal:1 was going so well. Is there going to be a wedding soon?”
6.) Grandchild scenario- “Hi there, dearie. Isn’t it about time we had a grandchild to spoil?”
7.) Job warning- “$Object missed work today, and unfortunately, has been fired.”
8.) Low relationship- “Hey, $NeighborLocal:3, are we still friends? I never hear from you anymore, so I figured I’d check in to see what was going on. Would it kill you to make an effort every once in a while?”
9.) Sneak out- “Hey $Me, wanna sneak out with me tonight?”
10.) Contact (NL)- “Hi, I’m $Neighbor! Since my friend $NeighborLocal:1 had such a great time with you the other day, I thought I’d see if you wanted to go Downtown?”
11.) Downtown (NL)- “Hey, I found some new places to hang out at $NeighborhoodLocal:0! Do you want to meet me there?”
12.) Hobby level 2 (FT)- “Hello! I hear that you are learning about Arts & Crafts! I wanted to let you know that My Muse II – Art Studio is looking for enthusiastic new members. It’s a great place to learn more about Arts & Crafts. If you continue to get better you may receive a membership card. Keep up the good work!”
13.) Hobby magazine subscription (FT)- “If you would like to subscribe at a later time please feel free to give us a call.”, “Hello! You have been selected to try out our new magazine. Would you like to subscribe to the Arts and Crafts magazine?”

5.) Easy Call Multi-phone by Christianlov

Originally in TS2, you can have only one phone line for your lot. So you cannot call several sims simultaneously. But this phone makes it possible. For an example, it’s possible that Darren calls Cassandra and Darren’s son calls Pleasant’s daughter simultaneously.

Easy Call…/Easy Call: Call sims you know. Sims will receive calls even at midnight.
Easy Call…/Power Call: Call any sim in the neighborhood.
Easy Call…/Power Invite: Sims will always accept invitation.
Easy Call…/Auto Call: Automatically choose a collee and make a call.

This phone isn’t classified as a phone (to secure multi phone line feature). So it doesn’t support some phone call menus like “Service”. It’s not a bug but intended. Because this phone isn’t classified as a phone, you can not call a sim who only has a Easy Phone, using a Maxis phone. You can simply buy an Easy Phone and call him.

6.) Night Calling by Cyjon

Allows a larger variety of sims to be called at night. Sims can call vampires, werewolves, plantsims, servos, high level good or evil witches at night without it being considered harassment. This mod makes a number of assumptions about sleeping habits. All sims sleep for 6 hours. Sims are assumed to go to sleep at midnight, with two exceptions. If a sim’s job starts between midnight and 9 am, that sim goes to bed 9 hours before the start of the shift. If a sim’s job ends between midnight and 9 am, the sim goes to bed as soon as the shift ends.

7.) No Random Calls by Cyjon

Reduces the massive spam of incoming phone calls from random idiots who keep interrupting play. They are broken up into specific packages, download as desired depending on which calls you want to eliminate.
-“Strangers” prevents people you barely know from calling just to chat. Works on both townies and downtownies.
–“Contacts” stops calls from people you’ve never even met, who call just because you have a mutual friend.
–“DatesOutings” puts an end to calls from people wanting these activities, both the “Dude, you seem cool, wanna go downtown?” variety and the “I had such a wonderful time last night. Let’s do it again!” variety.
–“Subscriptions” drops the axe on the hordes of magazine telemarketers introduced in FreeTime. Yeah because we don’t get enough telemarketers in real life, Eaxis – we want them in our computer games as well.
None of these stop the 4 pm low relationship calls. Use Pescado’s Phone Hack for those.

8.) Cell phone calls cost money by Dickhurt

Instead of being free, cell phone usage will now cost Simoleons. The
amount charged can be a flat-rate fee for each call and/or be based on
the total time spent on the call. By default, the hack is configured to
charge 1 Simoleon at the minimum per call with the total usage time
added in as well. The usage charge is set by default to 1 Simoleon for
each 5 minutes spent on the call.

All cell phone calls will be affected by the hack, including both outgoing calls and incoming ones. This hack will affect custom content cell phones as well, with the exception of the “Call Taxi” option while on a community lot.

9.) Auto Lateral Phone Calls by Dizzy2

This mod automatically makes phone calls that reach the unintended sim handled by the sim who answers. In short, if the intended sim is home, the sim who has the phone will alert the sim (or “lateral” the call). If they are not home, the sim on the phone will notify the caller (and a notification will alert you to this fact).

Does not pester you with a pointless dialog, which is pretty much the point of this mod.

10.) Call Anyone by Dizzy2

Permits you to call (nearly) anyone in the neighborhood through the “Call…Sim” action on the phone/cell phone. Doesn’t let you speak to the dead or to babies (and you probably don’t want to try calling Social Bunnies), but it will let you talk to sims you don’t know among the NPCs/Townies/other families.

11.) Hold that newspaper and phone between actions and queue cell actions during calls by Lamare

Between calls, sims hold their phone handset that they used to put back on base station every time. They hang/drop it as soon as their next interaction is not with the phone any more.Cell phone interactions don’t disappear on sims, if they are already talking, so we can queue up next call. Sims still put cells back in their pockets, but it’s real quick. And again, fixing this requires overriding too much stuff for my taste – cell phone interactions are matryoshkas with each one checking the pocket for cell phone or playing animation.

12.) Fixed Maxis Bug: Apartment Lots … any incoming calls? by MogHughson

Fixes a bug that comes with AL that fails all incoming calls to apartments. So, if you’ve noticed that you don’t get incoming calls to your Apartment lots, if you turn on boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true, and you get a pop-up window notifying you of an error on an incoming call type object, then you have this problem.

13.) Auto Yak by Pescado
Apartment Life ll Free Time ll Bon Voyage ll Seasons ll Pets ll OFB ll Nightlife ll University

Adds 3 features to the cell phone, call friends, enemies and family.
Friends: Automatically picks and chooses existing friends and calls until relations are repaired. Will not appear if you lack any friends in need of calling or if nobody is available to be called (at work/school, too late, etc.)
Enemies: Automatically picks and chooses existing disliked sims to harass until
relations bottom out (unilateral). Will not appear if you have nobody you
dislike or nobody can be harassed at this time (too early, not home).
Family: Presents a dialog of family members looked up in the phone book, including those you haven’t personally met yet: Useful for introducing sims to their relatives without ridiculous amounts of shuffling between lots. Will not
appear if there are no relatives with STR < 95: Use “Call Friends” instead.

14.) Cellphone Fix by Pescado

Cellphones can now be placed back into sim inventories after being removed, instead of being sometimes able to do this, sometimes not, with no really apparently obvious pattern.

15.) Phone Hack by Pescado
Apartment Life ll Free Time ll Bon Voyage ll Seasons ll Pets ll OFB ll Nightlife ll University ll Base Game

– The parent of a child who is on the phone will not invite himself inside.
– The Headmaster will no longer self-invite himself when he calls you, nor
will the phone freeze up.
– You should now be able to properly invite new Headmasters even if your Sim has married a Headmaster.
– Teen Go/Sneak Out in Pets hopefully unfarkled.
– Teens can now go and sneak out even, or especially if, they lack a guardian. This should not be construed as support for parenticide, although we’re sure some of you are going to try it now. In event that no adult is present, the teen sim no longer requires permission to go out, because, obviously, he has nobody to request it from but himself. The options to “Go Out” and “Sneak Out” will appear at the appropriate times.
– Harassment Call Lock – Ever wondered why your Sims somehow seem to decide to go to sleep earlier when you’re not playing? Tired of them simply screaming at you even though normally, they never go to sleep under YOUR direction until like 2 in the morning? We couldn’t make insomnia-tracking to determine which families are regularly insomniacs, but you are now protected from accidentally doing this: If your sim attempts to call another sim outside of valid calling hours, he will pick up the phone, then realize this is a bad time and put it down before bugging the other sim. You may still attempt to place emergency, service, transportation, sneak-out, and crank calls normally.
– No more dumbass phone calls: Friends who miss you no longer make stupid phone calls just to waste your time with their whining: They will instead make a USEFUL phonecall, so if a friend you haven’t heard from in awhile calls you to talk, instead of bitching about it, this is why.
– Sim-children should no longer bug random adults that they bumped into on
some community lot by phone. Sim children should only call their relatives
or other children.
– Sims should no longer place casual calls when they are NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HOME. No more truant children calling for kids which are at school, or
people calling when they SHOULD be at work.
– Now possible for teens to introduce people to adults using the phone: Teens no longer shouted at unless phone call join is declined.
– Now possible to invite headmaster if toddler will auto-transition at 1800
while headmaster scenario is in progress.
– Calling in sick no longer generates a useless NPC to clog your data files.
– Set Ringer – Set the number of rings you want your phone to ring when an
incoming call is received: 5, 10, 15, the default 20, or even OFF, which
means you will not be notified or receive any incoming calls.
