Cell Phones Available Always
Cell Phones Available Always.png - width=512 height=512
Further Description
Normally, a visible cell phone is required in Sim's inventory to make or receive calls through cell phones. This mod removes that requirement and adds an invisible cell phone when a Sim is about to make or receive a call and removes it right after the call ends.
Notes
→ This mod will also remove all visible cell phones from the inventories of teen and older Sims when it checks for cell phone "availability" for them. Cell phones that are not in an inventory will not be removed.
→ I have disabled the Cellphone - Give/Remove Cellphone debug interaction as it is now redundant.
→ I have removed cell phones from kiosks as buying one is now redundant.
→ Sims will no longer receive a want to buy a cell phone as they will, sort of, already have one.
→ It should be safe to uninstall this mod, as I explained how an invisible cell phone is added and removed.
Requirements
I assume the Pets EP or any later pack is required because the mod checks whether a Sim is a pet. I'm not sure if one of the University or Nightlife EPs is additionally required.
The mod should work for Ultimate Collection and Legacy Collection regardless.
Compatibility and Conflicts
This mod overrides the resources given in the table below. It will conflict with any other mod that also overrides any of those resources.
