I was just going through the 'what happened in your game today' thread when I saw a house phone, which got me wondering if most people give their sims house phones. Personally, I only give them house phones in Sims 2, and even then it's rare as most of my Sims have cell phones. Silly question, I know, but I love polls!

They don't have to pay extra phone bills though so that helps lol. Irl I haven't had a home phone in I don't even know how long. Waste of money since we always use our cells anyway. Sims don't know that pain though lol.
I was actually looking at my sins home phone last night thinking how weirdly I placed it and how they probably couldn't use it anyway. Thought about moving where its accessible but meh. They probably still wouldn't use it.
Bah, just kidding. I have no idea why I still have a landline although occasionally my elderly relatives still call it and seem confused as to why I refuse to answer the ring when I'm not at home. And I never give my sims one unless some unusual interaction they require, usually involving a mod, will not work through their cellphones/computers.

But no, they are deleted first thing and I wish I could delete the mobile phones too, all those townies calling at all hours asking my charming sim for a date annoy the life out of me.
Not always in Sims 3. I thought prank calls happen with a cell too? I've seen it happen before but I thought it was on a cell. Anyways... You'll also get phone calls when someone is about to pass away with a home phone. (let me know if I'm remembering wrong) Story-wise if it's supposed to be modern times then it doesn't make sense for my sims to have one. I'll place one down if my sims have a home office though to complete the look.

Pretty much this. The phones come with the house, not with the families that live there. I used to put them in every house I built, these days, not as much. It's one of the things I do when furnishing the house, put a fire detector in the kitchen, burglar alarm, telephone in the entry hall, etc.
In real life, some of us still do need landline phones. If I didn't have one, I wouldn't have internet. Period. It's the only way I can get internet where I live. Well, maybe I could get satellite internet, but it would probably be more expensive than the DSL our phone company provides. I'm almost always home, so I only have a pay per minute, dirt cheap, flip phone cell phone. Everybody who actually has my cell phone number knows not to call me on it unless I don't answer the home phone, because I never answer it at home.
Always on the bedside table (if it fits sometimes I have too much other cr’ap and they can’t be placed).

I want my real landlines back.
It's easier to find my cellphone with it.

The amount of times I've threatened to get a landline again just for finding my cellphone...
I invested in a device to find it but it doesn't work lol.
Also - the phone I use is decorative.

the wall one can go above a counter, sims can still get to it there and then there's still room on the counter for other things.

I remember you from university, I still have your story.And because I know how much I hate my landline, I dont bother my sims with one.
But because of this thread I will again since they can add to the clutter in the house. Never thought of them adding to the clutter!
I love house clutter
