BLUF: Removes (or lowers) the chance of cell phone idle animations from occurring.
This is not the same as Mikey's "No auto smartphone tasks". Mikey's mod affects the sims' ability to autonomously (free will) perform "send text" actions. it does not alter any of the cell phone related idles.
If you remove free will from your sims, they do not perform autonomous actions but they may perform various idle animations - they might scratch their arm, yawn, stretch, etc. Amongst the possible animations are 2 cell phone related idles, each of which has 10% chance of happening. In my game, my sims perform these actions incessantly. As the title states, this mod removes the chance of this happening.
