Yay! Thank you for these. I loathe the hobby magazine calls and the low friend guilt trip calls.

What is exactly :

Bad report card
Boss visit
Contact
Enagagement scenario
Grandchild scenario
Sneak out?

I don't remember calls, that I could describe like that.

hi, i hope this will help a bit.

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. Contact - "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?"

6. Downtown - "Hey, I found some new places to hang out at $NeighborhoodLocal:0! Do you want to meet me there?"

7. Enagagement 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?"

8 Grandchild scenario - "Hi there, dearie. Isn't it about time we had a grandchild to spoil?"

9. Hobby level 2 - "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!"

10. Hobby magazine subscription - "family of $NeighborLocal:1, hobby magazine subscription offer notification."

11. Job warning - "$Object missed work today, and unfortunately, has been fired."

12. 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?"

13. Sneak out - "Hey $Me, wanna sneak out with me tonight?"

Hi I just wanted to say thanks for this hack! I know nothing of making mods or hacks myself so I've been waiting for someone to stop the phone ringing for years now... it used to irritate me so much, any family who have a lot of friends, as soon as it hit 7am the phone would start ringing and literally wouldn't stop until midnight. And now, with all the hobbies, it's going off through the night too. This hack is really appreciated - I look forward to never hearing the phone go off again, unless it's actually something worth picking up for.

Oh my gosh, I've never had boss visit and grandchild scenario!
Probably, because I use phone hack by Pescado, and just turn off the ringing.
Does the boss really come? Or maybe these are just leftovers by EA that they never actually used

A fix for the "fancy coming downtown" call, at long last! Thank you so much! *kisses* I have had the contact one before now and a couple of others - I think the bad report card got shelved or something *shrug* Many thanks for these though :D

Please don't PM/IM me with requests

Thank you!! With FreeTime I was forever having my hobbying interrupted by people calling to congratulate me on my hobby. They even called at obscene hours of the night. It was so annoying! You are my hero!

Oh gosh...thank you....I hat that awful, pointless ringing that's been so prevalent with free time. Honestly, what were the devs thinking? Thank you for this wonderful fix.

Thank you so much, that stupid phone was making me nut! The phone was already annoying before FT, but now it's a total pain. Stupid devs. If only they (really!) tested their EPs before releasing them... *sigh*
I only had the contact and the sneak out scenarios, didn't even know the others existed. Maybe they were intended for use but were only left aside?

I suggest you read the FAQs before doing anything to your game.
Also, don't download a mess of content at one time and install it before testing each and every one of them, one at a time. If even one messes up your game, you'll end up spending hours figuring out which did it, or, more likely, end up wrecking your neighbourhood for good. Believe me, it happened to me because I didn't pay attention to that big warning on the home page telling me to read the FAQs. I lost a neighbourhood of approx. 130 Sims.

Cheers

I LOVE the low grades dialog!

Thank you, Christian! I love your mods and have most of them, very useful and well done (as in doesn't conflict with my other useful mods and you take the time to do it right the first time!)

YOU ROCK!!

Thank you!
