Help On The Sims

[Spike86]

I have the Sims Deluxe and it was wroking fine. I then installed the Sims Hot Date and still everything was fine. I visited Downtown and meet some Townies. I tried the phone and i could actually ring the townies. This is where I need help. I think i then quit the Sims and next time i started i didn't have the optuon to ring the townies. This could be because i had installed patches from the sims site. Maybe i installed the wrong patch. I live in Australia and there is no Australian patch version. Can anyone help me ring the Townies?
