Do you accept invitations out?

hunniboo1 · July 2018

Because I cannot deal with the constant jumping screens and waiting I decline majority of my sims invites

Simmerville · July 2018

Sometimes

I like the option to socialize this way, because otherwise some of my sims would never have left their house

I say no more often than yes, though. But yes, periodically they are massive, and I also could wish that some more wanted to meet in my home, or let me suggest the place.

hunniboo1 · July 2018

No

Now I do wish NPCs had weddings I would definitely let my sims attend those.

icmnfrsh · July 2018

No

Almost never, if only because accepting the invite won't let you wrap up what you're doing first. I guess that says something about me IRL too, because I usually prefer having time to prepare when asked to go out.

I like the feature, but I only accept invitations every so often. I do wish sims would have their own house parties (besides the birthday parties) that they invited you to.

It depends on who, what the event is, work/school schedule, and time of day/night.

luthienrising · August 2018

No

They never seem to come at a time my Sim can say yes.

Tinkerball · August 2018

I really wish they would stop calling me

Rarely do I accept invitations. I play a LOT of Sims and don't have a lot of time. Especially since "dates" don't count as real dates. I host outings and events to benefit my Sims.

I honestly didn't at first but then it really came in handy with one of my stories, my sim ended up having two kids by a married sim who also had two kids, his marriage was in a bad place and one thing lead to another but when he decided to stop cheating and try to work it out with his wife he still called his kids and ensured that the kids always hung out and always had a relationship and he would take all four of them to the park to play and talk and just be in each other's life regardless of the messy situation (in my head at least) but you can see how it added realism imto ky story lol!

into my story*

I click sometimes because they always call when my sim is getting ready for work or in the middle of the night when my sim is ready for bed. But when one calls on my Sims day off and she has the time - sometimes I say yes... I actually think they called too often though, and late at night is never a good idea for my Sims when they are needing sleep, not food.

I have on occasion invited a sim to dinner out that my sim has rejected for dinner out a lot of times though.

I think there are people who uses this feature and I don't want it gone, I'd like a switch to turn off the phone calling/text messages though, I hate this feature with a passion.

And that's a great input, because this feature would have been much better if at least some of those invites gave us a couple hours to get ready. Or - with Season and the calendar, some could even be scheduled for the next day.

No

No, never. I always cancel the call not even looking at it regardless of its nature. Doesn't help that most calls happen in the dead of night either.

GrumpyGlowfish · August 2018

I would if there weren't so many of them, and if there was an option to postpone the meeting for an hour or so. Those calls tend to come in at the most inconvenient times, and if you decline, chances are the same sim will harass you again five minutes later to invite you somewhere else... ugh! It's so annoying.

ThePocketWeasel · August 2018

It really depends on who it is, what it is, and when. I really like some of the ones that only seem to pop up if I'm in San Myshuno where a Sim calls and says there's a concert on tonight, and you plan ahead. I wish that was an option for all of the phone calls you get because usually, my Sim will be planning to do something / or doing something that I don't want to drop right away.

jooxis · August 2018

No. I don't like this feature. I wish they'd have made it so each sim can individually block calls from specific sims. Also, 99% of the time they call when my sim is about to pass out from low energy anyway.

Yes I will send them to the opera, concert, and circus because I dont have to switch to my main screen although I would love to see a sim circus

I hate how late the calls come. They come so late after my sim as already winded down for the day

Cynna · August 2018

No

Accepting invitations out used to be a very enjoyable activity. That is, I enjoyed it when the calls came at reasonable hours. Now, calls come at the most inconvenient and unrealistic hours, so I don't bother.

It's a pity, though. I really loved the raves up on the bluffs. But my Sims aren't the type of slackers who would blow off work or school to do it. At least, not all of the time.

Yes, this.

The above would make the feature functional again. I probably haven't used it in about two years.

Basically around 5% of the times. Otherwise I am busy gaining skills or doing homework for promotions. I really don't accept them unless it's on a weekend OR my Sim has maximized his or her career.

SerraNolwen · August 2018

Sometimes

I would love if we could accept some invites and just say in an hour or two, but I still enjoy the feature. I refuse more often than I accept, in part because you sometimes get four calls in a row, but if it's at a suitable time (my sims are feeling ok, it's not the middle of the night, and they are not too busy) and it suits the character, then yes. So for example, most of my sims don't go clubbing, but sometimes I create someone who enjoys it more, or I accept if the sim as a reason to celebrate or just needs the fun and social and would be likely to enjoy it.

Beardedgeek · August 2018

Sometimes

You know, I would love if there was a condition set: The closer the relationship, the more odd hours could they call?
The idea being that if you re super close BFFs, your friend can call you at 1 am to tell you about a party, while a workmate or the neighbor next door might call you between 9 am and 7 pm or something.

IceyJ · August 2018

Sometimes

I would like to accept more, but the calls get obnoxious especially when it's the same sim calling. It's difficult to accept when my sims are always in the middle of something. If only I could ask for a rain check, or tell the caller I'll be there in a few hours. Just give me some time to prepare.

But, sometimes...

simgraves · August 2018

Sometimes

It really depends on my sim and how they're feeling at that time

musteni · August 2018

Sometimes

I usually like the calls, but whether I accept the invitations depends on many things: who is calling, where they would go, what is my sim up to and what are their needs. In rotational play I get many of calls from sims who the game made my sim aquintances/friends with and a lot of those are totally random from my point of view.
