Phone Hack: THE REVENGE! (v4b) for TS2 v1.0p1 (English release)
Made by: Flying Fish Systems (J. M. Pescado & Doctor Boris)

Special Thanks To:
Quaxi, for writing SimPE

Congratulations to: Draklixa!

Instructions:
Place in your MYDOCU~1\EAGAME~1\THESIM~1\DOWNLO~1 directory.

BUGS FIXED:
1. The parent of a child who is on the phone will no invite himself inside.
2. The Headmaster will no longer self-invite himself when he calls you, nor
   will the phone freeze up.

ANNOYANCES ELIMINATED:
1. Sims will no longer hang up the phone before repairing their relationships:
   They will now converse until their relationship with the sim they are
   speaking to is fully repaired (from their perspective), AND their Social
   need has been fulfilled. No more babysitting and forcing them to keep
   calling until they actually are DONE. After the relationship is at 100 and
   they are fully Socialized, they will automatically hang up.

2. Teens can now go and sneak out even, or especially if, they lack a guardian.
   This should not be construed as support for parenticide, although we're sure
   some of you are going to try it now. In event that no adult is present, the
   teen sim no longer requires permission to go out, because, obviously, he has
   nobody to request it from but himself. The options to "Go Out" and
   "Sneak Out" will appear at the appropriate times.

3. Midnight Call Lock - Ever wondered why your Sims somehow seem to decide to
   go to sleep earlier when you're not playing? Tired of them simply screaming
   at you even though normally, they never go to sleep under YOUR direction
   until like 2 in the morning? We couldn't make insomnia-tracking to determine
   which families are regularly insomniacs, but you are now protected from
   accidentally doing this: If your sim attempts to call another sim outside of
   valid calling hours, he will pick up the phone, then realize this is a bad
   time and put it down before bugging the other sim. You may still attempt to
   place emergency, service, transportation, sneak-out, and crank calls normally.

4. No more dumbass phone calls: Friends who miss you no longer make stupid
   phone calls just to waste your time with their whining: They will instead
   make a USEFUL phonecall, so if a friend you haven't heard from in awhile calls
   you to talk, instead of bitching about it, this is why.


FEATURES ADDED:
1. Set Ringer - Set the number of rings you want your phone to ring when an
   incoming call is received: 5, 10, 15, the default 20, or even OFF, which
   means you will not be notified or receive any incoming calls. Don't do this
   if you're expecting a call from your publisher.

COMPATIBILITY:
This hack is fully compatible with all FFS hacks, with the exception of the
original Phonehack. Do not use both at the same time or unpredictable
results may occur. Compatibility is very unlikely with any other phone
hacks outside of the above due to extensive nature of phone modifications.
Do not use together. This hack is targetted at TS2 v1.0p1 (English release)
only. Foreign language translation options not available with "Set Ringer".
Option should still function, however.

SIDE EFFECTS:
May cause computer damage, incontinence, explosion of user's head, coma, death,
and/or halitosis.

CHANGES
v3b:
1. Sims will now stop calling before they starve, pee themselves, or pass out,
if you send them to the phones without paying attention to this part.
2. "Set Ringer" now applies retroactively to currently ringing phone calls.
If the setting is reduced below the number of rings which has already elapsed,
the call will be terminated without having been answered. Can be used to cut
off calls you already know you don't want to answer.

v4b:
1. Need bailout threshold lowered: Sims should leave with a slightly better
stub in case the bathroom, bed, or kitchen is far.
2. Headmaster bug & parent bug fixed.
