This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default can't use phone
Directed to use the phone (for anything) they pick it up and hang up. Seems I had this before and replacing all phones with another type fixed it (maybe?). Now I can't fix it. No error showed when in de-bug mode. Other odd things also happening; guy returned from abduction with a bowl of food stuck on his head - but not pregnant. Without even trying to remove the dish I sent him back to the aliens, but again no baby. Then tried blender to get pregnant - nothing (& yes he is right age).

Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..

The most likely thing with phone problems like that is a hack which alters the phone menu to add something, reorganise something or get rid of something. Nearly all phone hacks had to be updated with all EPs because the phone menu always changed with every EP (and a couple of the SPs). As you seem to have most (if not all) EPs, I'd say it's mostly likely a hack which is out of date for your set up and you need one updated for AL.

I took out the phone hacks I had (just some that stopped incoming calls) - didn't work. Then I found a wall phone in the house that I had failed to delete - and THAT fixed the problem. I wonder if it could be because whoever had used it just dropped the receiver on the phone; I didn't look for it.

Oh yes, that's another issue.

Although when I direct someone to use the phone & the receiver is missing, they know where it is & will get it..so..unknown

backup and remove your download folder. (I would never remove no sim loaded and smarter EP check)
