Added 2018-05-16 23:52:04 +0000 UTCFirst of all. I just wanted to let you all know that I have started working on a new drug to implement to the mod. The next drug that will be added is Magic Mushrooms. It might take me some time to get all of it in place but I will try to get it up and running as soon as possible, perhaps not with all of the stuff I want added to it first and foremost, but at least in a workable and playable state.
Alright, now that is said and done, I wanted to ask you all a question I am curious about. Namely; what kind of features of Basemental Drugs do you personally use the most?
Comments
It is definitely a feature to come in the near future
Basemental
2018-06-03 14:57:55 +0000 UTCYeah my sims make alot of money easily without cheat codes and they never really suffer that many consequences unless I make them go outside. It'd be cool if they worked to make a bigger consequence for selling drugs, maybe police raids or something.

2018-06-03 00:03:43 +0000 UTCANYWAY YOU CAN PARTNER UP with sacrificial to place the dealers in jail or users ?
2018-05-31 00:18:55 +0000 UTCI love every aspect because it gives my sims more of a realistic life with different choices and actions that shape them. Keep being awesome!

2018-05-25 13:46:32 +0000 UTCHi Charles. Glad you like the mod :) Sitting and smoking animations are right around the corner. As for cleareyes it's definitely somewhere on the to-do list. Regarding your issue with the snorting coke animation. Have you perhaps altered time settings in MCCC? If so I'd recommend you turn it back to default setting.
Basemental
2018-05-24 19:06:56 +0000 UTCWell.. Necrodog already has a cigarette and cigar mod which I helped him with the addiction system for so I am not going to stuff that, other than that I'd suggest you take a look at this: <a href="http://basementalcc.com/2018/03/19/suggestions/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://basementalcc.com/2018/03/19/suggestions/</a>

2018-05-24 07:07:38 +0000 UTCGoing to jail with this mod WOULD BE SO AWESOME
2018-05-24 01:19:35 +0000 UTCMore with teens doing drugs maybe adding simple stuff like hookah, cigarettes. cigars etc
DeeSims
2018-05-24 01:12:02 +0000 UTCI mean it is possible, but this mod will always be more about the collab with WickedWhims. I am sure Sac's mod is great, but from what I gather it is more a bit of comic relief style take on prostitution whereas WickedWhims in general is more gritty and all about realism, which is also what I intend to be about with this mod.
Basemental
2018-05-23 06:22:47 +0000 UTCSacraficial just came out with a great prositution mod - is there any way to hook the sex stuff from this mod up to that?
Kathryn Gordon
2018-05-22 22:37:18 +0000 UTCOnce you level up your MDMA Dealing Skill high enough that shouldn't be an issue for you any longer
Basemental
2018-05-22 16:45:44 +0000 UTCI love the mod, currently im only selling molly #love, but its rly annoying that i only can buy one pill box from my dealer at a time. They always have a chat between each click and the sim hours flyy. Cane u maybe make an option to buy 10 pills boxes at a time or something ?
2018-05-22 16:33:25 +0000 UTCmore positive buffs for alcohol and less chance of becoming addicted

James Armstrong
2018-05-22 05:57:27 +0000 UTCalso I would like more group activities. Like smoking to be more of a hang out around the water bubbler type thing. Not sure how possible that is. Ive also suggested adding easier ways to snort drugs on the go. Like mirrors or bullets that can be in ur inventory and easily shared with others.
2018-05-21 21:48:48 +0000 UTCI think the whole mod is perfect. Id like to see opiods hit the market. The game is pretty well set up for it already with the over-medicated debuff. Also thank you so much for making it so you can remove people from your High Client list.
2018-05-21 21:47:42 +0000 UTCI mostly love being a farmer. It would be cool to be able to register as a farmer and sell large batches of flower or other drugs.
Santiago Hoyos
2018-05-21 20:36:21 +0000 UTCI mostly use it for storytelling and to make teen drinking more realistic
Kemi Lynn
2018-05-21 14:49:16 +0000 UTCif you change the cocaine girls in CAS, do they stick around, or do they still get hidden like the past?
dmaster1968
2018-05-21 00:11:01 +0000 UTCI agree to a certain extent. I aim to make the mod as basegame friendly as possible though, as to not spend a lot of time working on something that only the select few that actually has that EP will enjoy :)
Basemental
2018-05-20 17:05:38 +0000 UTCQuite the assumption that I haven't watched Breaking Bad (multiple times) :D
Basemental
2018-05-20 17:04:05 +0000 UTCintegration with the parenthood ep would be awesome!!
2018-05-20 08:21:45 +0000 UTCI really like the idea of having a sims playthrough like the show "Breaking Bad", I recommend you watch that show! It might give you some ideas. Can you add more to the drug dealing and business aspect of the mod. Maybe we can have clients or a business partnership with some big drug dealers(we sell the drugs we make like Walter White did at first) and add more risk to this life of crime, like gang fights etc. Thanks for making mods<3
Yinala
2018-05-20 02:00:12 +0000 UTCDrugs/drug dealing. So excited to see new drugs are on the horizon.
2018-05-19 18:32:25 +0000 UTCI originally wanted the mod for the alcohol effects as I'm not heavy into drugs, but I've since experimented with growing and selling weed and I really enjoy it! My only complaint is I think the animation for smoking takes too long, especially when taking into account sharing with another sim. I like to get my sims high before doing certain things, but watching them stand in that clunkyish animation forever feels like a waste of time. If you could reprogram it to where smoking a blunt/bong was akin to eating in that you can multitask while you occasionally take a hit; that would be EVERYTHING.
2018-05-18 21:23:54 +0000 UTCThat sounds weird. What you could do is to delete your localthumbscache.package located in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, then start up your game, remove the trait from the bar, and add it back in and see if that solves your issue
Basemental
2018-05-18 19:53:10 +0000 UTCOne other quick question if ok please? I was getting a mod error message and finally sussed the source but in the process took all the mods out of the folder then returned them and when the game was working properly I wanted to see what effect the bouncer lot trait has to events but it's gone? (had added it to the bars etc). I was wondering if it's just been taken out on your end and I've been oblivious (again) to the update note? I apologise if so. I've used the mod conflict detector to get rid of the problem stuff. I'm sorry to bother you again, the mod is running awesomely, it's just trying to wrap my brain around things.
Miss rachel wright
2018-05-18 17:00:45 +0000 UTCFor the sake of curiosity; seeing that this is your primary usage of the mod. Do you share the opinion with the rest of the guys that commented on this post that the tolerance still needs to be tuned higher on bar drinks?
Basemental
2018-05-18 08:55:13 +0000 UTCI mainly use BMD to make the effects of drinking alcoholic beverages more realistic. I have a drug dealer and several pot gardens, but they're used more for storytelling purposes than for main gameplay. I also use the fake IDs and bouncers on all of the bar-type lots.
Athena Apollos
2018-05-17 23:43:36 +0000 UTCThanks!
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:22:36 +0000 UTCIn the earlier days of the mod the NPC Dealing was autonomous, but this proved to be problematic in many ways, without going into the details of it. I have not given up on approaching a solution to this though, as I agree that it should happen autonomously somehow.
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:22:21 +0000 UTCNot sure if you've seen this but: <a href="http://basementalcc.com/2018/03/19/suggestions/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://basementalcc.com/2018/03/19/suggestions/</a> :) Cheers btw!

Basemental
2018-05-17 21:19:39 +0000 UTCI am referring to the cross-functionalities between this mod and Wicked Whims
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:19:14 +0000 UTCCheers. The meth stuff has been suggested a bunch of times and is something I might implement down the road. I appreciate the input nonetheless, though. Addicts can also pickpocket other Sims, as this was the most feasible approach to the whole stealing when addicted thing. I am not sold on this happening autonomously, though. And lastly, thanks for the words of praise, greatly appreciated :)
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:18:44 +0000 UTCIt is possible for cocaine or amphetamine if your Sim is addicted to the drug in question. You can read up on that here: <a href="http://basementalcc.com/2017/05/27/buy-drugs-from-dealer/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://basementalcc.com/2017/05/27/buy-drugs-from-dealer/#addictsandsex</a>
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:16:15 +0000 UTCThanks for the input!
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:13:43 +0000 UTCYou know you can turn up the difficulty to hard for police busts in your Settings? That should increase the police busts happening. Also, they will never bust you when you are dealing out of your home lot, so you need to step outside and make house calls if you want the chance for it to trigger. You can also turn off autonomous drug use for your Sim through your Settings so they won't eat all those pills without you actually telling them to do so. You can read more about the settings and how they work here: <a href="http://basementalcc.com/2018/04/17/settings/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://basementalcc.com/2018/04/17/settings/</a>
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:12:21 +0000 UTCActually, I am not going to add traits that define alcoholism, or pothead. You will however get a buff that lasts for 5 days and is refreshed if you get addicted to a substance, so for weed that buff is Stoner, for alcohol it's Alcoholic, which makes a lot more sense than a trait imho, as this buff might disappear if you manage to go through the 5 days without using the drug of choice
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:11:16 +0000 UTCMost likely somewhere down the line, although I feel it is more important to focus on some new stuff than more of the same right now
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:09:28 +0000 UTCThanks for the input :)
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:09:00 +0000 UTCOD'ing and death is already in the game, both fatal and non-fatal OD's. The chance of a fatal OD is just tuned way lower than a non-fatal one so your townies won't die of OD's left right and center
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:08:42 +0000 UTCThanks, man. It is not a matter of me wanting to remove anything from it to be honest, and answers like this of course makes me happy, as I personally feel that you need a bit of everything for it to be proper fun, not just one or the other. But I feel it is interesting to see what the general playstyle of most of you is focused on :)
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:07:24 +0000 UTCHmm.. It has been tuned up a bit, but as I have not received too many complaints about it I have just figured it is OK as it is right now and gone about my day. Thanks for pointing it out, I will look into it in a future update
Basemental
2018-05-17 21:05:54 +0000 UTCThe mod in general rocks! I love dealing and growing, kinda frustrated dream come true. Also sharing a joint with my sim is great! And using clubs to form a speed/coke dealing gangs is simply awesome for the gameplay. Keep the good and awesome work!
Ant Bor
2018-05-17 17:27:26 +0000 UTCI cant pick cause i love it all but what i was wondering if it was a way to make the dealer i don't play really be outside selling have it as a job and you see them selling and come up to me and ask if i needed something cause I'm a custo....anyway LOL I'm in my thoughts Thank You for your work Much Luv
Sw33ti3 Coombs
2018-05-17 16:21:31 +0000 UTCI like the MOD all in all but maybe some heroin an Meth can amp it up some crack like if it is possible for them to use them 3 drugs get addicted an use them on their on maybe like every so many minutes then have them looking crazy as a 7 or 10 hour buff the drug MOD can be advanced in so many ways an tweaked to be so much more u are doing a great job thank u
2018-05-17 15:58:15 +0000 UTCHeroin lol we need opiates!
2018-05-17 15:19:23 +0000 UTCI didn’t know that there were sex stuff?!
2018-05-17 15:17:32 +0000 UTCI love this mod. I mostly have mostly have my sim sell and smoke weed. Im excited to hear that Magic Mushrooms are coming into play!!
2018-05-17 12:58:38 +0000 UTCI love the growing aspect of the mod. My sims mostly deal weed since they can grow it themselves. My husband saw me playing one night and asked why my sim didn't have a meth lab at one point. That is something I thought was amusing and could be fun. There could be new skills added like Chemistry. If a sim is inexperienced and tries to cook up some meth there could be a chance that they destroy their home or possibly die in the process. Depending on their skill level they could end up making some bomb ass meth, or an abomination that can make customers or themselves very sick. Another idea I had would be for sims that are addicted to any substance would not only be desperate enough to offer sex for their fix, but maybe even start to steal autonomously to get some quick cash. I don't know the first thing about coding or if any of this is possible, but those have been a few things that have popped into my head while playing. Either way, you are amazing and I don't know how I would survive without this mod in my game! It really adds some realism to it that is desperately needed!
2018-05-17 12:57:46 +0000 UTCDoes your sim have the traits to sell them?
Sarah Kamar
2018-05-17 12:24:10 +0000 UTCI second that. Love the growing aspect.
Sarah Kamar
2018-05-17 12:15:48 +0000 UTCI'm new'ish to the mod so still experimenting, must say am having fun with all aspects that the mod has added so hard to pick a fave, it's just great to have some semblance of soul to the game now thanks to the implementation of mods! Is there an option to pay dealer with sexual favours if funds are low? (also have "Hoe it up" mod so may be getting mixed up with content). Thank you for awesome content. Oh and yay Magic Mushrooms!!!
Miss rachel wright
2018-05-17 12:13:43 +0000 UTCu just buy a bunch of drugs for my sims inventory and theyre all tweaked out all the time on the pills and weed. i cant get them to sell or make amphedimines nor can i get them to bake edibles. my stuff glitches and im sure thats probably due to some other mod or cc i have installed.
2018-05-17 11:39:27 +0000 UTCI mostly just let my sims smoke weed and do other drugs occasionally. There is also one of my payable sims in every town to deal drugs
2018-05-17 10:17:55 +0000 UTCI really enjoy growing and curing weed to sell to my customers :) I wish there were more varieties of weed and the meshes for the plants were a bit more realistic, they are very branchy with a bunch of weed leaves on them. They should be more bushy and have nice big buds growing on them
Simp4Sims
2018-05-17 07:17:12 +0000 UTCan idea for the mushrooms, i know in the toddlers pack it makes it to where you see through the kids eyes or whatever. maybe implement that for the tripping part if there is a way to retexture it or what ever you can do to the game. just an idea
2018-05-17 06:40:21 +0000 UTCWorking really well for me but I'd like to have it easier to get caught by the police doing drugs and stuff. And another thing that you don't have to change but it kind of disturbs me, is that you get so many MDMA pills. My sim eats them all the time and then get in a bad mood after and other sims also get in a bad mood. So maybe it would be better to get 3 or something? Good job with the mod. I am so happy with it.
2018-05-17 05:35:08 +0000 UTCI'd like to see more traits to follow with this mod! Like alcoholic, junkie, traits of their preferred drug like pot head, etc. But this mod is the best!!
Terrance
2018-05-17 03:22:26 +0000 UTCweed can you add more kinds of weed
James Bender
2018-05-17 03:18:26 +0000 UTCI think the idea of providing an option of "Get really high and have sex" would be fun.
Tyler Brown
2018-05-17 02:59:54 +0000 UTCI think it would be cool, if it’s even possible, to add a visual affect for the sim who’s under the influence. Like remember in TS2, when a sim would go crazy, they’d see a bunny or dr, but if you clicked another sim to control, that bunny or dr would disappear. So visuals would be very interesting! And also OD’ing and death. Unless it’s already in game. Like perhaps add “go to hospital” when OD’ing, like when a sim is in labor? But it’s great the way it is, but needs to be much scarier like IRL.
TRUTH_SAYER
2018-05-17 02:54:21 +0000 UTCI have to agree with the above. A higher alcohol tolerance (maybe as a trait) would be great. But, yeah, I frickin luv this mod. This is the first thing I ever pledged on Patreon. Thank you so much for all of this.
James R Jonewell
2018-05-17 02:44:40 +0000 UTCYou know, you can turn off parental reactions.
James R Jonewell
2018-05-17 02:42:50 +0000 UTCGotta second that question. More strains would be awesome.
James R Jonewell
2018-05-17 02:41:25 +0000 UTCI like doing all of it, honestly. This mod is perfection and I wouldn't want to lose any part of it.
James Lane
2018-05-17 02:33:18 +0000 UTCI'd also like if the alcohol tolerance were a little higher. It makes me afraid to let my Sims have a bar in their home.
Mizu
2018-05-17 02:14:09 +0000 UTCI Love the alcohol effects as well but i wish there was a higher tolerance and my sim wouldn't get tipsy after just one drink. Also i love the weed aspect but would love to turn off parents reaction because i feel like going to rehab for weed is very unrealistic haha. (at least that's my opinion) Also, some parents might be okay with it. Those are the features i use the most (: LOVE this mod
2018-05-17 01:36:52 +0000 UTCNamely the trading of sex for drugs when you play with both Basemental Drugs and Wicked Whims in your Mods folder
Basemental
2018-05-17 01:08:49 +0000 UTCRehab is already a part of the mod. You can read up on how it works here: <a href="http://basementalcc.com/2018/04/17/rehab-parental-reactions/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://basementalcc.com/2018/04/17/rehab-parental-reactions/</a>
Basemental
2018-05-17 01:07:31 +0000 UTCI love the drugs (in sim world only) and would love to see a rehab type feature, if possible! I’m not sure if it would work as if may need to be a job, meaning you have to quit your current, but boy would I love to have my troubled young celeb sim jump in and out of rehab!
2018-05-17 01:04:18 +0000 UTCI like the alcohol effects.
Carmarla Privott
2018-05-17 01:00:32 +0000 UTCWait, what sex stuff?
2018-05-17 00:57:55 +0000 UTCI would love to see more interactions and perhaps even a party update where the sims can throw drug parties and maybe even have them get raided if they're too good! Love the communal aspect of the mod, would love to see more of it. Smoke session anyone? Thanks for all your work btw and thanks for taking time to ask our opinion!
2018-05-17 00:54:34 +0000 UTCI love growing cannabis and that's what my sims use the most. I would love to see different strains added.
Lilac Lover13
2018-05-17 00:48:15 +0000 UTCI love the drug dealing features! I wonder if there would be a way for there to be more conflict between sim and NPC drug dealers (related to turf, supply chains, etc.) or the ability to hire thugs-- this is especially something I'd like with my female sim drug dealers.
2018-05-17 00:43:35 +0000 UTCMostly use and growing in cannabis. Starting delving into selling it now (are you going to add more strains?). Mushrooms so uh and awesome though!
2018-05-17 00:33:37 +0000 UTCHave you altered the Time Settings in MCCC? That seems to be the general cause of this issue. If you have, try to revert it back to normal and see if that sorts out the issue for you
Basemental
2018-05-17 00:32:42 +0000 UTCI mostly do realistic type interactions with drugs but Ive noticed that when ever my sims smoke a blunt/joint it either does not show up or the interaction gets skipped completely and they go straight to being high.
JeauxJeaux
2018-05-17 00:30:38 +0000 UTCI really enjoy growing and cooking with the marijuana. I’d love for you to add more strains and and more variety with the edibles that can be made.
2018-05-17 00:29:35 +0000 UTCTo be honest with you, I really disdain the vampire/alien/fantasy type of stuff in The Sims, and I always disable that with MCCC. I am a much bigger fan of realism
Basemental
2018-05-17 00:28:07 +0000 UTCHave you considered using a True Blood theme and making vampire blood a drug to deal. Might have some interesting aspects that could be included. Vampires selling their blood, etc.
Valmion
2018-05-17 00:20:24 +0000 UTCI hear you, I'll try to add in a new recipe with the next release :)

Basemental
2018-05-17 00:14:19 +0000 UTCI keep trying to set up an edibles bakery, and would love if there were more options to sell! <3
Dominique
2018-05-17 00:11:49 +0000 UTCYea I get that, and I think that sounds like a good idea, just because it would let you layer the mod really well and expand on it as much as you want. I imagine it would work similar to the gourmet cooking and cooking skills?
Esteban Medina
2018-05-17 00:11:27 +0000 UTCAs level 10 is the highest level tuning wise that would prove difficult to be honest. But I have thought about (somewhere way way down the line that is) to go into like "Rank 2" when you reach level 10 so you can level 10 more levels of the second rank. If that makes sense.
Basemental
2018-05-17 00:06:16 +0000 UTCUse for sex stuff (wicked whims is brilliant for that) And doing drugs. Usually get my Sim hooked and then using sex to buy them:)
Jen Ray
2018-05-17 00:05:04 +0000 UTCI really think the mod will benefit from possibly higher than 10 levels for the drug dealing.
Esteban Medina
2018-05-17 00:03:28 +0000 UTCIf you have Wicked Whims installed there is definitely negative repercussions by doing that. (In terms of potential miscarriages)
