☕️ Caffeine
When a Sim drinks coffee they now have a chance of getting addicted to caffeine.
Caffeine addiction is less severe than other types of addictions, but technically works the same way with occasional debuffs etc.
Caffeine addiction can also be added through addiction cheats.
🧠 Addiction Predisposition
I have added a system to make some Sims more predisposed to addictions than others. Once you load up the game with this version of the mod in, all Sims will by random assignment get predisposed (or not).
The random assignment is not completely random, but works something like this:
Each Sim has a 15-20% chance of getting predisposed to addictions.
Some traits will increase their chances. Some traits will decrease their chances.
If one of their parents are predisposed, this will increase their chances of inheriting the predisposition. If both parents are predisposed this will increase the chances further.
Is my Sim predisposed?
You can find out whether or not your Sim is predisposed to addictions, and even toggle it on or off through the Basemental Drugs Settings menu.
This Setting is done on a Sim by Sim basis. Meaning this setting is for the Sim that is currently active and selected, and you can only alter it for actively selected Sims.
What does addiction predisposition do?
To put it short. The chances of getting addicted to absolutely all drugs has been tuned drastically down. That is for Sims who is not predisposed to addictions.
For Sims who have a predisposition however the addiction chances are increased slightly.
⚕️️ Healthcare Redux
I teamed up with adeepindigo and added some cross functionality between Basemental Drugs and her mod Healthcare Redux.
If you have both mods installed, quite a few of my drugs will now make the pain buffs from Healthcare Redux go away faster. When I say pain buffs that would be things like headaches, general aches and various pains.
Note: This only works with Healthcare Redux v 4.9 and above.
⚙️ Debug Cheats
You can now assign NPC Dealers, Shamans, Police Officers and Bouncers quickly by SHIFT+CLICKing the NPC you want to assign the role to.
Simply go to Drugs > Assign Roles > Other Roles to instantaneously make an NPC sim into any of the roles mentioned.
Some Sims will not fit the criteria however, this might be due to them not being an NPC, or filling another role specific to Basemental Drugs or Basemental Gangs.
😠 Reactions
There are a few tweaks done to reactions in this release, specifically around the feature where parents send their teen Sims to rehab if they are caught doing drugs a bunch of times.
Talk to Parent
The way this was always intended to work is that when a parent catches a Sim high on something more than two times, they will send them to rehab the third time.
I added the feature of Parent A being able to rant to Parent B about them catching their teen high in the last Reactions release. Whereas that idea sort of worked, what didn't work was bringing Parent B truly up to speed in terms of the teen being lectured.
So the main changes to this now is that Parent A can talk to Parent B about their teen doing drugs for a longer period of time than previously. If Parent B had already caught the teen once before doing drugs they will now be marked as having caught them twice.
If Parent B has never caught the teen before doing drugs, but Parent A has done that two times already, Parent B will be brought up to speed and be marked as also having caught them twice.
You get the idea.
Drug Blockage When Caught
After a teen is caught by their parents they will get an embarrassed buff. This used to be a way to indicate now is the time to apologize to your parent(s). It also blocked them from doing more drugs as they felt bad.
Now, however the blockage lasts way longer than the embarrassed buff. So, even after they apologize and they lose the embarrassed buff they need to wait for a while until they can do drugs again.
From a technical standpoint this is mainly to give the parents time to talk to each other and the other hidden buff indicators to properly run out and do their thing.
From a storytelling standpoint it makes getting caught feel a bit more real and more like punishment.
Venue List
To make sure this works you need to download the updated Basemental Drugs venue list provided in this post. I recommend installing this venue list in a separate folder directly in your Mods folder called: Basemental Venue List. I also recommend updating it whenever there is a new mod version out as I constantly add in new custom venue compatibility from other mod authors.
Choose one of these 2 installation methods. Not both.
Basemental Drugs Installer (WINDOWS ONLY)
- Delete all the old Basemental Drugs files from your Mods folder.*
- Download this Basemental Drugs.exe file.
- Run the Basemental Drugs.exe file.
- Choose which Optional Packages you want included.
- Delete your localthumbcache.package
* If you installed from the installer previously, you can delete the old files by launching the file called unins000.exe in your Basemental Drugs folder.
Basemental Drugs Zip (WINDOWS OR MAC)
- Delete all the old Basemental Drugs files from your Mods folder.
- Download the Basemental Drugs zip file.
- Unzip the Basemental Drugs zip file.
- Place the files in a folder titled Basemental Drugs in your Mods folder.
- Delete the Basemental Drugs zip file.
- Delete your localthumbcache.package

When is the gangs file going to be updated?
Laur
Thank you!!
LeAnne West
will this be compatible with the new update and pack?
Basemental
No. That's not normal, I would need more context however. Would be good if you could shed some more light on the issue on the Discord server. Link is in the bottom of the post.

When other sims smoke cannabis, their eyes don't get bloodshot. Is that normal? my sim eyes are bloodshot.
Bytentrix
Ok thank you!
mutate
they have to be addicted first pretty sure
Bytentrix
Can you explain how to do it? Or where the explanation is please? All my sim is able to do is pickpocket from the dealer
Basemental
It is
Bytentrix
Hi! Is trading sex for drugs still an option if you have the Wicked Whims mod installed?
Basemental
Yes. Teens can only buy harder drugs from other Teen dealers.
Sabbysims
hey my teen isn't able to buy ketamine, can she only but it from another teen dealer or teens cant do this drug at all?
Basemental
There is a dedicated suggestions channel on the Discord server. Suggestions won’t get overlooked as easily if posted there
Basemental
Use the support channel on the Discord server. Link is in the bottom of the post
Basemental
You won’t get an error message saying that. The welcome message might tell you gangs isn’t installed, but it’s not an error message
Michelle
Hello, I received an error message saying I need Basemental gangs, but I used Basemental exe to install. If anyone has info please let me know.
Kay The Queen
please
Kay The Queen
you should add more bongs and the travel bong and grinder.

hey i dont get no police bust anymore and i have it on hard
Basemental
As explained in the post, the exe file is just an optional installer instead of manually installing with the zip file. But it only works on windows computers
Cierra Hunt
Am I suppose to download the exe too. I am not able to cure in the weed jar.
Basemental
You can't send her to rehab for being a Stoner. Only for addiction to harder drugs. You got two options to remove the stoner buff. The first one is stop smoking weed. The second one is by clicking on the Sim, go to Drugs > Cheats > Addiction Cheats and remove all addictions.
Kathryn Grace
Hi, I have a pregnant fullblown- stoner sims. I want her to go to rehab and can't seem to find that option. I tried "add moodlet" but that option is greyed out. What do? Anyone have any ideas?
Basemental
The only possible reason for that happening is in fact that you still have an old version of the mod still in your mods folder. If you head over to the support channel on the Discord server we can troubleshoot the issue with you to help you out. The link is in the bottom of the post
Basemental
Just make sure the optional file that comes with the mod is included in your optional mods folder
Brayson
Anyone know why I keep getting an error saying my basemental isn't up to date even though I downloaded the most recent several times over trying to get rid of the error? lol I deleted the old versions so Idk lol
James Armstrong

I’m not able to sell drugs. Everytime I try to sell to a customer they’ll just talk, and same for selling on the dark net it’ll cancel out.

Basemental
Oh wow. I know there's been some GShade drama, but I don't really know what it is all about
Basemental
Yeah, you are still able to run a dispensary. There are tutorials on how to do it on my website: https://basementalcc.com/tutorial/dispensary/
James Bender
