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!

I've used quite a few mods by others, thus taking FROM the community. With the work that *I* create, I'm hoping to give something back TO the community.

Do with my work whatever the &#$% you like. If you re-use, edit and republish my work, I consider it a compliment. Especially if you let me know about it, and mention me in the credits.

But, although I would *appreciate* the note and the credits, if you choose to be a dick and act as if YOU created my mods, there's not a whole lot I can do to stop you, so I won't even TRY.

Enjoy.

I know lol it's kind of amusing as I'm always telling newbies to 'read through all details of mods carefully' Better start taking my own advice!

Somehow I missed this one before. Thanks BO, it was always a pain when I would forget to drop a phone in the house of one of my "faux townie with family" sims.

I'm starting to have trouble with this mod. I'm trying to have a YA call a graduated sim that's in the bin and I'm getting the message that he doesn't have a phone. So I went to a main lot and tried to have his parent called him. I got the same message.

I don't think there is a conflic either because I'ved done the 50/50 method until this mod was the only CC in my download folder.

When tested alone, whenever I tried to have a sim make a call, all the sim did was pick up the phone and then put it back. I'ved tested this with both the uni lot and home lot.

Can you help me?
