This has been so much work to get just right, all of it being technical details related to Python scripting, so I won't bore you with those details, I am just stoked that I finally got it all up and running as I wanted to. Please read the changelogs, and remember to update both Drugs and Gangs (if you are using Gangs, as both needs to be updated to be fully compatible with one another.)
HOTFIX Note:
If you downloaded 5.11.138, and receive an error log, it is because the mod searches for a resource from a pack you don't own. Update to 5.11.139 and you should be all good!

Changing World
There are new batches of pills out on the streets, and new buying prices for each region.
Bribes and Money Laundering
Previously when you bribed the police, you would drastically reduce the potential risk of getting busted by the cops or raided by a Swat Team .
From now on however, whenever you bribe the cops you still drastically reduce the potential risk of getting busted by the cops, it will however not reduce your risk of getting raided by Swat. What it will do however, is build your relationship with corrupt cops able to give you information about incoming raids.
How do I decrease risk of raids then you might ask? Launder money. And keep laundering your dirty money regularly to make sure the risk stays as low as possible.
Corrupt Cops
If you keep up with bribing the police (you are able to do this every three days, either from a maxed out cocaine dealing skill or by talking to your Right Hand Man with Basemental Gangs), you make sure your relationship with the corrupt cops stay as high as possible.
This will greatly increase the chance of them giving you a call directly before you get raided, which will trigger a mini-game of "Stash the Drugs".
When stashing the drugs you need to look for suitable places around your owned lot to stash your hard drugs (this does not apply for weed or prescription medicine). Each container you can find around your lot that can hold drugs can contain up to 5 items, and the item picked from your inventory when stashing is a random hard drug item.
The mini game is short, and your Sim will run around in a state of panic while stashing the drugs, but at least those items will not be confiscated from your Sims inventory, or confiscated from the actual lot by members of the Swat Team.
Cigarette/Cigar Multitasking
I feel it's worth to mention that this was apparently broken in the last couple of releases, it has been fixed now however, so your Sims can watch TV while having a cigarette, yet again.
Police Confiscation
I also feel the need to mention this, as I am sure this is a welcoming change to quite a few of you. Those bastard cops that used to confiscate all your belongings, including a photograph of your dead grandmother and your high school diploma have been reprimanded by their commanding officer.
Police will from this version out only confiscate illegal items from your Sims inventory, if you are in a legalized region, they will not confiscate your cannabis or cannabis paraphernalia, and they will never confiscate your prescription drugs.

Basemental Drugs
Basemental Gangs
Basemental Gangs conflicts with other mods installed that adds custom venues to your game, if you have zerbus Get To School/College mod, LittleMsSams more buyable venues, or other mods that include custom venues delete their Venue Lists.package. (The Venue List.package in this mod includes their venues as well, meaning their mods will still work with only this package installed).
Basemental Gangs does NOT replace Basemental Drugs, but is an addon to Basemental Drugs. Do not delete Basemental Drugs prior to installing Basemental Gangs.
