Updated 01-09-2019 --- Additional filters added to filter the "Baby Ariel" special NPC. Updating is probably not critical if you have a previous version of the mod.
Note: The maniacal woman on the left in the above screenshot is a paid actress and is intended as a purely fictional representation of the type of Sims that I do not allow in my neighborhoods.
Mod Description
Maybe it's just me, but I find the text messages that adult Sims can get from unknown children to come play with them to be just a bit disturbing. Sure, it is just a game, but does EAxis really think that all of the Sims I play are Senators?
I thought perhaps this was happening due to a bad save game from before they fixed the relationship code in the game as I didn't remember that happening in the past when I played; however, starting a brand new game demonstrated the same results. Child Sims would text the adult Sim I was playing asking him to come play with them, even though he'd never even met those children once. Creepy - what is wrong with Sim parents they give these children phones?
I would consider this mod to be more of a bug fix than anything. This eliminates the texts from unknown children:

Two new resources are added to the game to add the ability for adult Sims to be texted in a non-creepy fashion:

I would consider this mod to be more of a bug fix than anything. This eliminates the texts from unknown children:
- Child and teen Sims in your household can receive texts requesting a play date, but only from children they have met and have at least a 15% positive relationship with.
- Young-adult, adult and elder Sims can receive texts, but only from children they are related to who they have at least a 50% positive relationship with.
