Smarter Phone Autonomy - Less Phone Spam & Obsessive Phone Use

Reduce excessive autonomous phone usage and make Sims behave more naturally. Sims will spend less time endlessly checking phones and more time socializing, building skills, and interacting with the world around them.

Tired of Sims constantly pulling out their phones every few minutes?

Smarter Phone Autonomy reduces excessive autonomous phone usage and makes Sims behave more naturally during everyday gameplay.

  • socializing
  • watching TV

make phone usage feel more natural and less repetitive.
