List of telephones SCTC BR-8 Standard Telephone SCTC BR-8 Standard TelephoneĪ phone is a Sim's connection to the outside world. Services can still be contacted, although many will not arrive until daytime, with the notable exception of police and firefighters, who will arrive at any hour of the day.Ī family needed to have at least one telephone on the lot in order for other Sims to call them, and Sims would receive a message if they attempted to call someone that did not have a phone. During this period, Sims will not be able to talk to Sims or invite them over, and will instead be shouted at and receive a negative and usually insulting message (although there is no effect on the relationship). Different models of phones were introduced over the course of the game, but cell phones were never introduced.Ī telephone curfew time of 1-6 am is imposed. Additionally, some custom content creators made 'phone plugins', which added features to the phone. With the introduction of community areas and community lots in Hot Date, Sims became able to use the phone to call a taxicab and go somewhere else for a while. At other times, the sim being called will say they are watching their favorite TV show and will grumpily complain about being interrupted, also resulting in relationship points being deducted. Hot Date gave Sims the ability to talk on the phone instead of simply inviting other Sims over, though players had no control over what the Sims would talk about and sometimes the call would end negatively with relationship points being deducted. Starting with Unleashed, the phonebook became a dialog box which listed families on the left, and known members of the selected family on the right.

Until Unleashed, a Sim's phonebook used the standard pie menu, and players would often have to press the Tab key to page through the menu in order to find the family they wanted the Sim to call. Later expansions changed the phone menu multiple times, and added various features.

They could sometimes result in cash rewards, but they could also be prank calls. Random calls would often take place throughout the day (and night). Friends would often call the house as a warning to the player that a friendship was about to end (the relationship score was dropping too low) these calls always took place at 4:00 pm. Phones could be used to hire service workers such as maids or gardeners, or to call the police or firefighter in case of an emergency. The original phone could make outgoing calls, but doing so would only result in the option to invite a Sim over - Sims could not have a conversation with another Sim over the phone. Phones in The Sims are very simplistic compared to phones in later games or expansions.
