How it works
Get In The Club
To get into the VIP club as a drug dealer, you can choose the "Explain Supply Need" interaction with the VIP bouncer. You can find the interaction alongside the other Bouncer Interactions for trying to get into the club.
If you are a mid to high level dealer you have a high chance of pulling this off.
Get Acquainted with Celebrities
Getting to know the celebrities can be a daunting task. Particularly introducing yourself to them, as all Sims seem to be very easily starstruck, apparently.
As long as you are a mid to high level dealer, introducing yourself to the celebrities is way easier. The initial thought is that the celebrities knows who's who and are eager to get their hands on some drugs, so you have a much higher success rate in terms of introduction.
Note: There is no 100% guarantee that your Sim will manage to pull of an introduction to a celebrity Sim, but it is extremely likely. If it doesn't work the first time around, wait it out a bit and try again.
It is a bit harder to jump straight into chatting about drugs with them, though, so my advice is to use quite a few "Friendly" social interactions to begin with before even going into the subject of drugs. It is not impossibly hard by any means, but it is harder than performing these interactions with "regular mortals".
Celebrity Clients
Once you have managed to "Seal the Deal" with a celebrity, you will get some fame points. The higher level of the celebrity the more fame points you will get, meaning you need fewer Global Superstars on your client list than Noticeable Newcomers to get to rank 1 on the fame ladder.
To check who's on your Celebrity Client List, click on your active dealer Sim, go to "Customer Lists" and select "Celebrity Clients". These clients are not like regular clients in a couple of ways, first of all, they won't call and invite themselves over to your place to buy drugs, they will rather invite you over to their homes (assuming they actually own a home in your world and aren't homeless game generated celebrities).
They will not call you quite as frequently as regular customers, but every celebrity above rank 3 will also be able to buy Cocaine Bricks or Speed Packages (assuming your Cocaine or Amphetamine Dealing Sim is above level 3 in either of those two dealing skills).
They can only buy large quantities once per week.
Fame and Reputation
Once you have managed to get to Fame Level 1, I strongly suggest you going for the middle branch of the fame ladder, which is really the only one that makes sense for a drug dealer, as this is all about networking and making connections.
Once you are on level 1, you can earn fame simply by socializing with celebrities. I'd suggest you use this feature to climb up to rank 3 of the fame ladder. Once you are a Level 3 celebrity, reputation will also start factoring into the equation of how the general public perceives you.
Here is a rundown on the various interactions that gives good or bad rep implemented so far:
Good Rep
Huge Gain
- Finish Rehab
Large Gain
- Bribe the Police
- Go to Rehab
Small Gain
- Laundering Money
Tiny Gain
- Sharing Weed
- Sharing Shrooms
- Sharing MDMA (to clubbers)
- Sharing Cocaine (to clubbers)
- Sharing Amphetamine (to clubbers)
Bad Rep
Huge Loss
- Getting Raided
Large Loss
- Getting Busted
Medium Loss
- Exchanging sex for drugs
Small Loss
- Sharing Cocaine (to addicts)
- Sharing Amphetamine (to addicts)
Tiny Loss
- Too many witnesses when your Sim is dealing
- Sharing MDMA (to non-clubbers)
- Sharing Cocaine (to non-clubbers)
- Sharing Amphetamine (to non-clubbers)
There are apparently a few other ways to get good rep if you want to keep up appearances and be perceived as a decent citizen in the eyes of the public. Like donating to charities and so on and so forth. I haven't actually tried these out myself, but it should be a thing with Get Famous.

Comments
Meth, probably somewhere down the line. Heroin, not really interested in it, not in terms of me enjoying myself modding, nor for the gameplay aspect of it as I deem it uninteresting in both those aspects.

2018-11-24 22:04:50 +0000 UTCOne could argue that it is actually quite realistic. It is all about percentage chances, the majority of Sims won't become alcoholics after 2 drinks, obviously, but a minuscule percentage of Sims will. I know several alcoholics myself that have more or less been hooked since the first time they drank. Think of it that this Sim was prone to alcoholism. That being said, if that doesn't fit your Sims storyline, pull up the cheat console by typing "Ctrl+C" and type in: bmd_cheats There's a list of cheats there, among them, how to remove addiction traits for your active Sim.

2018-11-24 22:02:15 +0000 UTCMost of the stuff can be found here: <a href="https://basementalcc.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://basementalcc.com/#tutorial</a> - Some of the latest Patreon features might not have made it in there yet, though. But most of it is. It's also a good idea checking out the latest version posts of the mods on Patreon to make sure

2018-11-24 21:58:54 +0000 UTCI got the addicted to alcohol buff for the first time ever and it was for a new sim who had two drinks (I've played with other sims who had more than that but didn't trigger addiction). I dig the addiction aspect because of the realistic element but not after two drinks. Can it be stopped? Is there something specific that causes this?
2018-11-24 21:47:06 +0000 UTChey would u consider adding meth pipes and maybe even heroin addicts to the game
2018-11-24 01:32:49 +0000 UTCYup
Basemental
2018-11-23 11:16:29 +0000 UTCAre you planning to add benzos or some downers to the mod at any point? I think it would be cool to have some xanax or something like that, and it could also be used to relieve comedowns
2018-11-23 05:24:11 +0000 UTCThey definitely should not be calling, to be honest. Thanks for the headsup, I will look into it. Ideally it should only be disallowed for household members and not actual family members but there were some issues with the tuning for that. It might have been corrected in the game code since then, so I guess it's time to revisit it soon.
Basemental
2018-11-22 09:26:29 +0000 UTCoil/dab/hash/about everything you can ever think of in relation to cannabis has been suggested and is somewhere on the to-do list. It all needs to be spread out a bit, though, as the mod is about more than just the weed part
Basemental
2018-11-22 09:25:03 +0000 UTCIt won't mess up things, you just won't get to utilize the functionalities from that expansion pack, everything else is still in there and working exactly as it should
Basemental
2018-11-22 09:23:25 +0000 UTCWould it be possible to make a switch to turn on selling drugs to family members? They were my biggest clients and they know I got the good stuff. They actually call me up and come over to buy drugs but I can't sell to them. What do I tell them? How can I look them in the eyes and tell them no?
Revy Rei
2018-11-22 07:34:47 +0000 UTCI think it would be cool to create a video with the drone/video station about smoking weed. Have you also thought about adding canabis oil? It could be the same as the in-game medicine, just a cookable option.

2018-11-22 04:18:57 +0000 UTCwhat if i dont have get famous? can i still download it or will it mess up things?
2018-11-22 03:06:23 +0000 UTCCan't wait to try it out thank u
Larraine pratt
2018-11-21 22:34:55 +0000 UTCYes it is included with the base package of the mod. The optional real drink names are just for the actual drink names that you order from bars etc.
Basemental
2018-11-21 21:02:29 +0000 UTCAlso, out of curiosity, the string table changes mean that it is now called Alcoholic instead of Juice Enthusiast in the game? If so, is this included in the optional real drink name thing-y, or is it in the base package of the mod?

2018-11-21 18:59:40 +0000 UTCThank you for such a detailed mod.

2018-11-21 18:58:34 +0000 UTCthanks so much for your hard work I'm smoking and hope to have a flawless gameplay today SIM ON SIMMERS!

2018-11-21 18:29:21 +0000 UTCHi Karina, might be unrelated but a while back a CC file was known to cause that issue - "MorganeParis_For_Natalis_Nails_02.package". It made all game generated Sims have the same face. You might want to check your custom content and see if you have the file. If you do, remove it. You will then still have to delete or edit the sims that are already in existence but it should stop more identical sims spawning.
Stephen Blake
2018-11-21 17:14:13 +0000 UTCkind of unrelated, but does anyone know how to change the npcs from looking so weird and identical?? is this something i should take to the discord..?
2018-11-21 15:53:35 +0000 UTCThanks for the quick fixes, you all rock!
2018-11-21 15:05:11 +0000 UTCThanks for letting me know about this, I will try to sort out a hotfix for that ASAP
Basemental
2018-11-21 11:29:12 +0000 UTCCould you explain exactly what you mean with "ability to sell drugs through the menu for profit" ?
Basemental
2018-11-21 09:30:47 +0000 UTCIf I am at my house with 2 of my clients and I sell one of them drugs I lose reputation? They know the deal, they should be ok with it. What if you only lose rep when you sell around others that you don't have a good relationship with?
Revy Rei
2018-11-21 05:38:20 +0000 UTCThank you so much for keeping everything in working order and fixing things promptly and as often as you have been doing!

2018-11-21 04:22:42 +0000 UTCHey is the ability to sell drugs through the menu for profit a bug or a feature? It seems be very exploitable lol :)

2018-11-21 04:17:42 +0000 UTCI can't wait to try this out. Thank you
Cinjan
2018-11-21 01:53:59 +0000 UTCIt's a good pack. Definitely seems worth it imho
Basemental
2018-11-21 01:23:01 +0000 UTCNow this is awesome, makes me want to buy the get famous pack just to explore these additions you added :)
2018-11-21 01:12:39 +0000 UTCImpressive Update!
Martin VG
2018-11-21 00:44:46 +0000 UTCNot really. Well, there is some cleaning up of code and the fixing of a missing icon, and stuff. But other than that this was solely focused on the expansion. I can assure you that the next version will be more basegame friendly :)
Basemental
2018-11-20 23:10:07 +0000 UTCIt's amazing how fast you drop new updates. Good job - as always!
2018-11-20 23:08:23 +0000 UTCis there any need to update to this if we don't have the expansion?
JP
2018-11-20 23:08:03 +0000 UTCThis is my favourite mod! Thank you so much!
2018-11-20 21:34:22 +0000 UTCSuperb additions. Thanks a lot!
Martin VG
2018-11-20 21:10:47 +0000 UTCThey are too stuck up. Considering the way they act when non-celebs are trying to chat with them and be friendly, coupled with the fact that they are (often times) rich, I felt it was way too unrealistic to be able to have them give you a blowjob for a bag of coke.
Basemental
2018-11-20 21:03:56 +0000 UTCWouldn't it be more "realistic" if you could ask celebs for sex in exchange of a higher ziplock bags? You make an awesome mod. dude!

2018-11-20 20:59:37 +0000 UTCwooo super exciting thanks Basemental
