I was just looking for a (current, functional) mod like this yesterday! Glad you posted it today, now I can get started playing a save that's set in the late 1950s...

I would love to use this mod, but do you really need all expansions/stuff packs for this to work?

No, this was the very first mod I ever made so I kinda hadn't yet figured out how the whole upload-process actually works. It should actually work with just the base game.

Thank you for this as the phone play drives me nuts! Currently I don't have any MODS in my game, but I am going to give this one and a few others a try. Maybe my SIms won't be as annoying now.

Is there a way to disabled the phone entirely?

Not to my knowledge. If you put the "off grid"-lot trait on a lot, it disables most of the phone's functions but not all. I am currently looking for a way to turn off the picture-popup when the phone is set to silent but I'm not gonna make any promises.

I would suggest also disable the animation of selfie? I found there're a lot of animations of it and takes up lots of time. Thanks!

My sims never did that on their own; that option is already set to non-autonomous. Do you mean the interactions with Celebrities?

I always play Runaway Teen to start the game. In the early stage, there are very few interactions for my single sims. There're quite a few moment he will take out the phone and does the selfie. That takes up a little bit of time and I think meaningless. Anyway, except for that, your mod is great.

It should still work, to my knowledge the latest update didn't include changes for the phone. In any case tho, I'm not going to update my mods just yet, I'm gonna wait until all the updates + the new gamepack are out.

I'm already using a 64bit OS so it won't affect me at all but my mods are (so far) still compatible with the 32bit version but they won't be much longer and after the update, I can't provide 32bit-OS-compatible mods anymore.
