PMA
PMA has been found in tablets touted as MDMA although its effects are markedly different compared to those of MDMA. The consequences of such deception have often included hospitalization and death for unwitting users. PMA is commonly synthesized from anethole, the flavor compound of anise and fennel, mainly because the starting material for MDMA, safrole, has become less available due to law enforcement action, causing illicit drug manufacturers to use anethole as an alternative.
New Pills
When your Sim purchases pills from the assigned NPC dealer you might notice some new pills available. Which pills they have in stock still depends on various factors like which day of the week it is.
This brings the total amount of available pills marketed as MDMA by dealers in game up to eight. However, one or more of these may now contain PMA.
Stay Safe
With the addition of these new pills comes the importance of testing the pills with a test kit. Just like in real life, party hungry people, or in this case Sims, can increase their safety ten folds by purchasing a test kit and test the contents of the pills before popping them.
If you detect that the pills purchased contains PMA, best get rid of them as soon as possible.
Effects
The effects of PMA is not really comparable to those of MDMA, and the onset of the drug is vastly longer. The main cause of hospitalizations and fatal overdoses linked to this drug is due to thinking that the pill didn't work, when in fact the onset is still going on, then proceeding to do more pills or other drugs. When the PMA then kicks in there will be problems.
The reason I felt the need to incorporate this into the mod is that it felt wrong (in almost a glorifying way) keeping MDMA in pill form in the mod without highlighting the actual dangers of consuming pills with no actual knowledge of what the pills contain.
Make sure your Sim parties responsibly and purchase some test kits from the nearest convenience store.
Scenarios
Last version I added a couple of scenarios. I did the same thing for this release, and I will try adding a couple new ones for some releases going forward. The two I added last time has now been taken out and the two new ones are in.
The idea is to keep no more than two scenarios in per release. Once I have created enough of them I will bring them in rotationally. This brings the added challenge of completing them in time before the next version of the mod is released.
Plant Quality
From this version and going forward I have changed the quality names for every plant in game, including the base game ones. The reason for this is that the names set for the quality of the plants didn't make sense. There were no bad qualities, just nice, great, awesome, perfect etc.
Now the named quality is more realistic and should reflect the progress of the plant evolution more with Normal being in the middle, not the bottom of the progression.
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
Choose one of these 2 installation methods. Not both.

2021-12-20 21:21:02 +0000 UTCThe new MDMA batch will not allow your Sim to share with others. However, it still allows your Sim to share the older batches.
Gen the Joint Lord
2021-12-20 07:18:39 +0000 UTCNo. Just test the pills with a test kit before use. NPC's won't use them autonomously, so it's just a matter of taking some precautions. And it's also worth mentioning that the batches only change every time a new release of the mod is out; meaning if you test one batch of pills, say for instance the Pink Rolex and you determine that they have a large amount of MDMA in them and nothing else, you don't have to test that batch again until you download a new version of the mod. You know that they are safe to use.
Basemental
2021-12-19 00:54:27 +0000 UTCCan we turn the deadly drugs off? Like its a cool idea but I dont want that aspect in my game play.
Raqkellz R.
2021-12-19 00:03:24 +0000 UTCYou sure that all the buds were in fact perfect? If you leave some lower quality buds in there it might ruin the batch

2021-12-18 16:34:39 +0000 UTChello suggestion that would be good if we could suggest to the pnj sims to inject drugs with the syringe, and in the nasty category our sims could inject him
laurent tackaert
2021-12-14 06:56:54 +0000 UTCIf you updated correctly to this version Perfect will be Perfect. Whereas with the former versions (ie. base game TS4) perfect was actually normal quality. If you experience any issues with this however, I suggest you hit me up on the Discord server. Links in the bottom of the post.

2021-12-13 22:34:22 +0000 UTCIf I'm remembering right, I'm pretty sure the crate of cocaine was removed from the game awhile ago.

2021-12-13 04:30:49 +0000 UTCHello! I am terrible at navigating Discord. I finally tried sending you a direct message to ask a question, but then it said something about not sharing the same server because we weren't friends or whatever. Then I thought I was supposed to friend you, so I sent a request which I really don't expect you to accept as I know you cannot take every single person who sends you a friend request or you'd have a million. So you'll be getting a request from Shayla0902, my username on Discord. I couldn't figure out how to take down the request. Will you tell me what I can type into the search bar, in the game, to locate the packing crates for cocaine? After trying for many hours to find this item, & my inability to navigate the Discord site, I've finally reconciled myself to come here in the hope of finding an answer. I'm sorry. I know you prefer we head over to Discord for this kind of thing.

2021-12-11 14:48:09 +0000 UTCThank you so much for all your hard work! I have loved your mods for going on 4+ years now, you're very talented and give so much to the community with your mods!
Kara Hodges
2021-12-10 17:29:42 +0000 UTCand maybe also a police-exposion bar, that can tell you how close you are to get raided or arrested, considering that now the punishment for getting caught is way worse than before

2021-12-09 12:33:41 +0000 UTClove this mod. I have a request in terms of the dark web selling when you list a drug for sale. Is it possible for that feature to get a ''sell mulitple at once'' button, where kind of like the same menu you get, when you sell to someone manually, but it doesn't have a limit like 2-5 max. I think it would help alot for the people that (myself included) tries to make a good living, selling amphetamine in the game, but it becomes annoying when I have to repeatedly click the ''ship to customer'' button. Anyways love the mod, and how much it has improved :)
Danra
2021-12-09 11:22:43 +0000 UTCHave you actually played with that household? If you have not it will rather give them a random amount of imaginary cash to spend whenever they load into the zone
Basemental
2021-12-08 09:44:23 +0000 UTCHello, I’ve had this happen with different NPC clients where I try to sell them cocaine and Speed and the interaction cancels. I am able to sell pills and weed with no problem. Love your mods
Dsp8
2021-12-08 06:53:49 +0000 UTCHello, I’ve had this happen with different NPC clients where I try to sell them cocaine and it says they don’t have the funds to afford it but I know they do. One of them just won the sin lottery. Could you help with this?

2021-12-07 22:47:45 +0000 UTCWould be good to know a bit more specifics about the issue. Would appreciate if you head over to the Discord server and hit me up, or any of the support team members. Just refer to this conversation
Basemental
2021-12-05 08:34:06 +0000 UTCParental reactions are not working for me right now. My teenage sim has a straight edge parent, and I set the options to parents being against drug usage. He just sits there and stares or starts talking. No buffs afterwards and no arguments.
GasperDaze
2021-12-05 04:10:22 +0000 UTCOpen your Sims phone, go to the Travel tab and "Convenience Store". Easiest and most realistic way to purchase what you need from that store
Basemental
2021-12-05 00:24:52 +0000 UTCFirst off I love the mod! Secondly I realized that there is only an option to make parents okay with all drug use instead of individual drugs. Like I wish I could make my teen sim’s parents okay with them smoking weed but not cocaine lol!
Joseph Lang
2021-12-04 19:43:21 +0000 UTCWhere do I buy the kit from? Which convenience store? Is there a name to find it in buy mode?

2021-12-02 16:22:25 +0000 UTCSince sharing is caring and I love to show how much I care: My sim's husband, a clone of one of her lab partners, OD'd on cocaine and weed at Salim Benali's, his dealer, house. He passed out, and when he came to, he wouldn't go home and kept doing drugs, so Salim called the cops on him. When he got out of jail a few hours later and went home, he kept doing coke until he died from another over dose. His ghost then went to the bar in his widow's house, got drunk, then started hitting on her sister. No one has seen him since the funeral, but he still calls to congratulate the sister on her milestones and achievements from time to time. Lesson? Don't clone your lab partners no matter how sexy they are, and don't let clones do cocaine. (Also, don't do drugs.) For some reason (usually me), on every new save, Vanessa Jeong always becomes a pill popper. I don't know what kind of pressure she is under trying to get famous. Somebody needs to send her to rehab. I'd "hate" for her to die before she makes it big, especially with this new strain of PMA pills on the streets. Lastly, can somebody tell Moira Fyres that double-cupping it at a celebrity wedding is not cool? She passed out on the dance floor, face down, ass up, while the bride and groom was cutting the cake. She missed everything and didn't get any cake. People kept dancing, tho. Lesson #2? I love this mod. I would love it even more if you could lace blunts, slip drugs in drinks, and have a "peer pressure" interaction for teens who smoke weed with a "feels guilty for succumbing to peer pressure" buff. But that's machinima stuff. ;-) I never play as the dealer. I always assign NPC's. How cool would it be for them to be included in the Story Progression from a Basemental pov? Don't judge me. I'm just asking because I really don't care about the stuff my sims friends call and ask about as it is not Basemental related, and everything I do is Basemental related.

2021-12-02 16:19:58 +0000 UTCIt is a decent idea, however Narcan only works with opioid overdoses, though. So it would work in terms of a lean overdose, but none of the other drugs.
Basemental
2021-12-02 12:30:08 +0000 UTCMaybe we can eventually have Narcan so we have the option to save a sim. Maybe there’s a time frame before the sim dies, if they don’t get narcan w/in the time frame then a death starts. Idk if that’s possible but would be nice.

2021-12-01 21:41:08 +0000 UTCThe scenarios aren't showing up for me. Is there anything I could be doing wrong? The mod is there in the game and functioning, but I don't see the scenarios when I click "New Scenario."
