Hello! Is it possible to make some sort of addon module that stops ghosts from calling your sim? My sim has no relationship with her mother who passed away and she was released from the grave, but I suppose she still exists in the game since she is part of the family tree. And she keeps calling! Bienchen/sims4me has a mod called "basecalls" that stops ghost calls but I think it will conflict with your mod, especially with the restored npc invites, so I can't use yours and theirs together, or.. can I?
Does the Restored NPC Invites Addon work as a standalone, or is the base mod required for it to function? I love the main mod but sometimes I find I get a lot of texts and calls and will take it out and add it back when I feel like I'm not getting enough again 😅 Thanks!!!
It should work as long as you keep the main script file installed. Uninstalling the main package file will remove all the extra calls that the mod adds. Please note that Maxis fixed the NPC phone call bug a few patches ago, and the addon's only use now is to move the dance parties and nightclub invites to the weekend.
hello! so ive got an issue with translations. my game is polish yet everything is still in english. i have the most recent update downloaded, so i dont know whats wrong :(
Do you think you make NPCs asking for romantic advice more frequent or detailed? I honestly love the feature but I wish the sims would give more updates and details! haha.
Hi! I'm assuming this is a issue from this mod, because it's the only texts and calls mod I have and I don't think you can a text like this in the vanilla game, but one of my sims got an "What if we went on a date? Haha just kidding. Unless?" text from his cousin. Thank you anyway if it's not an issue from here.
I was wondering if there is any possibility that you consider adding Sims calling to invite you to their homes or random events, that would be wonderful :)
you should take away the strangers calling your sims interaction , it doesn't make sense if a person your sim doesn't know or never meet is calling your sim
Please keep adding to this mod - it's really brought a lot of life to the game. Mods like this really are needed. Here's hoping you can do more event and dialogue mods.
Hi there, and thank you! The best way to get in touch with me to share translations is on my friend ISY's Discord server for mod translators. Here a link to it: https://discord.gg/a3KYdu6c. There's tutorials there for different translation tools, as well, if you need them. If you don't wish to use Discord, you can also upload translation files to a file sharing service like Mediafire and copy the link here. :)
Really enjoying this mod! Definitely add to it and shake up the outcomes so one doesn't simply memorize the choices. Perhaps add some guidance based upon skills or traits at 5+? With some probability tweaks, this would be even better.
Hello, Kutto! I came across an issue with Random Texts and Calls since I downloaded it recently.
Whenever I started a new game save with a new Sim or Sim family, my Sim immediately got a call from a random Sim about Baatuu and the Black Spire Outpost.
This had become a problem for me to deal with when I start a new game save with a specific theme such as playing a family in the Decades challenge for example.
Can this be looked into? I'm surprised no one else mentioned this before.
Also.. Thank you for the wonderful mods you shared with us!
That's actually a base game feature. My mod does not add anything to do with Batuu, other than a filter to make sure you never receive a text message from one of the NPCs there. The text message you're getting is scripted by Maxis to occur at the start of every new save file and one time in save files that you haven't played since installing the Batuu pack. It's similar to the text message you get from Vlad about the vampire pack.
I rather have the calls from the Batuu pack blocked. I will look into this and see if I can block those calls. Those are the ONLY calls I don't want. But thank you for replying to the issue about them. :)
Since the phone calls are random, it won't show up immediately. I found that texts and calls tend to come in about once per day, but the odds are higher if your Sims have lots of friends with different traits.
Maybe it was a bad download? Try refreshing the page and downloading the new version. If that still doesn't work, try a different unzip program, like 7zip
Still doesn't work and there isn't a 7 zip program apparently on my PC. It's legit only Winrar for some reason. I had trouble with Winrar opening a grim reaper mod before, so it may just be the program sucking or something. I'm going to try and find a download for 7 zip.
Okay. So it looks like 7 zip can open programs better than win opener. (Got the program name wrong before. Oof.) I got 7-zip to open the rar though. Thanks for the advice.

hello, does the mod have a french translate ? If not, I can do it. Thanks for your answer

Ooh, okay! That's good to know. Last I checked the bug hadn't been fixed, but I'm enjoying all the extra calls and texts, so thank you for the mod!!
Apologies you are correct. It is another mod.
Since the last patch people call and ask to come over. I click yes but they don't show up at my lot. LOVE this mode. Thanks
This mod doesn't add any calls where NPCs ask to come over. You may be mistaking it with another mod.
Is this mod updated?
Does this work alongside Chingyu 100 traits?
Hi! Is this compatible with Zer0's More Interesting Phone Calls? (https://www.patreon.com/posts/vanilla-plus-82222303)
hello! so ive got an issue with translations. my game is polish yet everything is still in english. i have the most recent update downloaded, so i dont know whats wrong :(
Huh, something must have happened with this most recent upload. Will get that fixed ASAP.
thank u for replying, take ur time!
Hi, Sorry for the annoyance, but was wondering as well for this mod if it works with the updates as of December 23?
Yes. The patch number is just the last time it needed an update.
Do you think you make NPCs asking for romantic advice more frequent or detailed? I honestly love the feature but I wish the sims would give more updates and details! haha.

Thank you anyway if it's not an issue from here.
Sounds very awkward. I will look into that issue immediately. Thanks for the report.
I was wondering if there is any possibility that you consider adding Sims calling to invite you to their homes or random events, that would be wonderful :)
Suggestion:
Drunk texts/calls from ex
you should take away the strangers calling your sims interaction , it doesn't make sense if a person your sim doesn't know or never meet is calling your sim
A small list of stranger's calls:
Wrong number calls. Prank calls. Scam calls. Solicitation calls (from a list you accidentally agreed to be on so long ago you can't remember).
Makes it fun. Or at least more lifelike.
me encantaría poder utilizar este mod, pero aun no encuentro una traducción al español :(
yo lo traduje al español. si quieres te lo comparto.

Muchísimas gracias ♥️ 😗
Thank you very much for making this!
Has anyone tried this with "Phone Call Overhaul" from Lotharihoe?
Or do you know if they would be compatible to be used together?
I have both and they work. The former modifies game resources; this one adds new ones.
Please keep adding to this mod - it's really brought a lot of life to the game. Mods like this really are needed. Here's hoping you can do more event and dialogue mods.

Hello ! Is the mod compatible with the update of snowy escape ?
Yes, everything appears to be working fine with the new patch. :)
Hi! Are there other mods this conflicts besides Scumbumbo? I removed that but still haven't seen this mod do anything yet.
Since the phone calls are random, it won't show up immediately. I found that texts and calls tend to come in about once per day, but the odds are higher if your Sims have lots of friends with different traits.
I tried to download the mod, but winrar wouldn't open it. :(

Thank you, I have now added these into the mod! :)
