When I recently updated my Random Texts and Calls mod, I discovered that Maxis had recently changed something about the code that schedules drama nodes, that is, the things that schedule stuff like phone calls and festivals. As a result of this, most phone calls from NPCs inviting you to dates, restaurants, and dance parties were effectively removed from the game.

I've added a extra file to the Random Texts and Call mod called "Restored NPC Invites" that allows NPCs to call your active Sim again to ask them to go somewhere fun. I've altered their schedule slightly so that invitations to restaurants, gyms, parks, dates, play dates, family get togethers, and magic duels can happen any day of the week, while invitations to bars, dance parties, and city events only occur on the weekend. Because these invitations have been given their own "bucket", they will not compete with other types of calls like those from Neighborhood Stories.

This addon will remain in Early Access for a short time to gather feedback before public release. Please let me know that it's working for you and the odds to get one of these calls is tuned well.

Happy Simming!
