THE PHONE WONT STOP RINGING!!!
My sims cell phone rung and she didn't answer . Now it wont stop ringing and if i try to answer it, it doesnt show anyone is calling so i cant . It also will not let me silence the ringer. It is really annoying. I have university life downloaded and they are in university if it matters.

It's probably caused by a stuck sound loop. There are a few things that could fix it.

  • Try to silence the phone, and then un-silence it again.
  • Try to reset your Sim (if their name is Joe Blow, you'd bring up the console and type: resetSim Joe Blow).
  • The ringing should stop if they get a real call, but the only way to trigger that is to have one of your Sims call another (mebbe have a family member go out on the town then call the one at home?).
  • Moving a Sim out and back in via Edit Town can do it though I don't believe it works while they're at University.
  • Restart the game -- but you might have to delete cache files to get that to work.
  • Have your Sim travel.

EDA: And one more thing! I believe the DebugEnabler[nraas.wikispaces.com] mod will let you reset the phone if you need to go that far. (It will let you fake an incoming call they can answer.)

been having the same problem but this worked for me:

"The ringing should stop if they get a real call, but the only way to trigger that is to have one of your Sims call another (mebbe have a family member go out on the town then call the one at home?)."

someone gave my sim a special opportunity call :D
