OK - I think I heard somewhere that you can get (either by download, or in one of the expansion packs) the ability to just talk to your family friends on the phone. This would be a HUGE help to me as I am having difficulty juggling going to work, sleeping and eating - let alone entertaining friends at my house. Is anyone familiar with this?

OK - maybe to make it more clear. This is something where you can just have a phone conversation with the family friend and not have to invite them to your house. You still gain the same benefits if they were at your house - but you can do it in less time. Or at least I think that is whats supposed to happen.
The sims site is a pain in the butt because of their frames, you know that? Anyway, go to http://thesims.ea.com/us/index.html then to “Get Cool Stuff” and download “The Sims Telecom Upgrade” which about 1/2 of the way down the page. Once you install it, you should get the option to call friends and “invite” or “just talk”.
** elfkin477** - thanks so much for the information! Now I won’t be going crazy trying to entertain my little friends every night of the week! They are trying to eat me out of house and home!
