How do I remove the technology from the Sims 4?

I see a lot of debate threads flying around that don't have much to do with the Sims 4 right now, but the question I'm asking is legitimate. I am a little concerned by the forced "surrounded by technology" feel of the Sims 4. Yes we have huge advance in technology now-a-days that should be represented in the game, but it seems as if there is little option to not have it in game. Without gaining "fun" from the painting skill there are few options to raise a sim's "fun bar" without watching TV or playing on a computer or with the dreaded smartphone. Reading a book seems to take too long, and it would be nice to have a few different options at hand. I noticed they removed the "technophobe" trait, probably because a sim with that trait would keel over as soon as it was spawned in the game. It's great that our sims can enjoy the latest and greatest in modern technology, but they should also be allowed to enjoy all the comforts of life without technology as well!

Absolutely! I rarely play Dragon Valley because I hate the technology that's forced into it.
I like having my sims listen to music, dance, and play instruments for fun. If one sim is playing an instrument (and is skilled) other sims can listen and enjoy, without having to use stereos. If you have City Living they can practice singing too.
The card game and chess are fun. A few more non-tech games come with Get Together and Outdoor Retreat: darts, Don't Wake the Llama, horseshoes.
Soccer and basketball.
Don't forget swimming, fishing, cloudgazing and stargazing

You can dance, sing, read, paint, guitar, work out (with the reward trait). Lots of ways to entertain.
