Phone problems

[Joefish]

So heres what happens..I have click on a phone to have a sim make a call, but when he get to the phone he just picks it up then puts it right back on the hook without ever making the call...If anyone knows any possible mods that may cause this or another reason that this is happening that'd be great. I know that i don't have any phone hacks

Can't help you there, since we don't know what mods you have. Try taking them all out and see what happens.

Man, I had this exact problem before. However, I do not recall having to remove any of my hacks / mods to correct the problem.

I know I have deleted all the phones, saved, exited the lot, then returned to the lot and added new phones, I have removed all the cells and other electronics on the lot... try these first and see what happens.

I'm sorry I can't remember exactly how I solved this, but I'm pretty sure I didn't have to remove anything.

I'm hoping someone can tell you what the problem is exactly, because from what posts I've seen, this is a fairly common issue amoung Sim players.

I know this sounds stupid but are you SURE he's actually picking the handset up because one time I tried making my sim call another sim and she would go all the way to the phone and wouldn't stomp or anything her action in her que would just dissapear so I was like  so I paused and zoomed in on the reciever and I had stupidly deleted the handset off the reciever when I had moveobjects on LMFAO try looking and seeing if you did that by accident or something or have you tried using a new phone and deleting that one? maybe I helped but probably not hope you get it working again

Sorry if this is redundant.

Have you downloaded and installed any custom phones? If so, try temporarily removing those first.

And it never hurts to double-check what hacks you do have in Clean Installer (hacks are highlighted in red in CI). It is not at all unusual for hacks you may not notice (or may not want) to sneak in with downloaded lots, especially furnished/decorated lots.

did you try deleting the phones on the lot and then buying new phones to reset the phones? do you have any newspaper hacks? computer hacks?  like caffeinated.joy said, does it happen when you take out your whole downloads folder?

Thank you ALL for your input I will attempt the various suggestions and see if they work and let you all know how it goes

That sounds great. I could use a reminder on how to solve that pesky problem in case it happens again.
