It works by telling the phoneline controller that it's time to generate a call from a randomly selected sim, where otherwise the phone line controller would wait until a randomly determined amount of time has passed before generating the call. ~~Unforgiven~~ : I cloned it from the stack of phone books that kids use to sit on when playing chess. sim~obsessor: While the person who requested it wanted it for making movies, it can be useful for having someone call you or to just stop the phone from ringing which also might be useful for moviemaking because if a sim is about to answer the phone and you stop it from ringing when they pick it up there's no one on the other end and they just hang it back up. seldomburn: That's a good idea since that's what a phone book is for anyway, and that way you could call sims you don't know. I'll see about adding it as an option.

And the stop ringing option checks to see if there's an incoming call and removes it if found.

Then I click and it offers the two options listed above but when I click the one to stop the phone from ringing the phone still rings. It rings all the time (just like before). I have to not have a phone in the SIMS home due to the constant phone ringing. I clicked on the link to Maty's mod and it goes to a site that apparently cost nearly forty dollars a month to belong to.

Try this link for MATY. http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php#4 search in the Firing Range forum.
