I wish the phone would make noise when it rings

A lot of times I only notice the phone ringing as it's "ringing" the second time. I say ringing but really it just shows some sort of graphic effect, it would be nice if the phone actually made noise. There is a mute button on it but if that is supposed to imply that there is sound to be muted, then that's a big FAIL as the phone NEVER makes sound when it rings. I don't tend to look at my phone when I play so if it rings and I don't see the graphic, it's another pointless item in the game.
On a planet far, far away.

LOL, The flying flippin fingers hit edit and then typed in a new box, instead of the one above.
Sometimes your creativity is limited where you use it most, but you can use those limitations to inspire new forms of creativity you may never have thought of beforehand.
Huh, oh no lol I was suggesting why not a no phones option because I literally don't have a phone.

I would love they didn't come equipped with one. It ruins fantasy play in both the TS3 and TS4. And they should have to spend money to get one in a store. Not buyable in buy mode.
That is the most daft thing I have heard since I found out the removed the doorbell sound!
It has a ringer but the sound is hardly noticeable and why it has FX effects in the Sim panel.
Ridiculous
I sometimes wondered if I had accidentally set their cell on vibration or something. lol I can't hear it, either nine times out of ten.
wait the doorbell don't ring?
nor does the phone thats just plain stupide
and yea it be great if sims didn't just have a cellphone from they become kids..... I like to have to buy it... I also find it sad there is no landline... ok hardly ever used it in sims3, except for deco... but would have if they also had to buy the cellphone (then my sim kids would at earlist get a cell when teens... unless very rich parents)
Me too! Exhibit A...
So how hard would it have been from a technical point to add:
If phone ringer true {ring phone loudly and repeat more than 2 X}
else if Phone ringer false {have phone do the happy dance with no sound and more than just 2 X}
else {have person show up and ring the doorbell!!!}
Or something similar with of course the proper syntax and declarations.
I miss the landline, not the ringing phone which I always put on silent.
It has been rare for me to buy a landline in TS3 but only because Sims have their own phones anyway lol
thats also my only reason for not getting them often..
There you go. That's the magic word - consistency.
