It's that time again... Yup! It is Poll-Time!

Just a heads up, if you haven't already voted. The poll ends on Saturday
29.09.18, 01.49 PM CEST - So, get on it if you want your opinion to be heard!

So far it looks as if the opinions are quite split on this, and if it stays like that after the poll ends, I will not make any super-radical changes to it in terms of extreme reduction or increasing of the frequency of phone calls.

I am however leaning towards adjusting the frequency based on wether the customers are recreational users or addicts.

Original Post:

Just a quick little question for all of you that are playing with the dealing aspect of the mod. Whichever of these options are in the lead in a couple of days will be implemented for the next version. (Or at least give me a sense of direction of how to correct this feature so it will be more enjoyable to everyone).

Do you think that customers calling to buy drugs are calling....



Comments

It does 🙂

Basemental

frequency I'm ok with. it's just immersion breaking when it's the same customer buying 3 times a day. When you have a few more customers I think that stops though

Red Pills

No, that won't be an option. Ideally I want it to work a bit smoother than what it currently is without the need to tweak a bunch of settings :)

Basemental

Is it possible to just make this an option of percentage similar to some of the WW functions?

You can sell to teenagers though? Not sure why family members are calling as they are definitely excluded from doing that in the call filters

Basemental

If you keep your customers separated that shouldn’t be an issue. Instead of having 1 sim being a customer of multiple drugs

Basemental

The only thing that irritates me about the phone calls, is half of them are from family and teenagers, who I cannot sell to, so their calls are a waste of time.

I feel like they call OK if you manage the game - I.E turn your phone off if at work, School , Sleep Etc I do wish they asked what they need as I forget why they came over sometimes and don't know what they wish to buy... Also once someone calls the next call does come too fast sometime so before you answer the call someone else takes over your call and the original caller doesn't get their drugs...

lol i made him the town drug dealer

I really like the idea of some type of option for the sims if they are using drugs for recreational purpose or if they're straight up addicts. Maybe some desperation setting for the customers :)

No idea what you are talking about..? There isn’t any autonomous “asking where the drugs are at” in this mod

Basemental

Don lothario is my sim’s only client and he wants to come over 2-3 times a day. I’m really worriedabout his drug intake andsometimes have him over just to make sure he’s fine

Unless you have a town full of straight edgers that shouldn’t be an issue

Basemental

i can't get enough customers most of the ones i talk round end up not wanting my weed

It’s also pretty annoying when you call over the ‘girls’ or ‘boys’ and you’ve gonished the gathering but when you see them around town, the continue to ask where the drugs are at lol I’m not sure if that’s supposed to happen?

Make sure your Sim are confident when you talk to them, makes it go faster. If the potential customer is a clubber it will go even faster still. Seriously, though, it is not really much work at all. Even without a confident mood :)

Basemental

However, it seems to be the same few customers. Rarely new ones. BTW for me with the mods I play, its a real pain to talk, talk, and talk to raise friendship up to get new customers. Any way to speed this up? Or auto-customer?

That was the general idea with the insane frequency of the calls in the first place. Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be adjusted slightly if it provides more fun gameplay, though 😊

Basemental

Here's the thing druggies are supposed to call I have no issue with how often they call, I'm paying my bills in most houses by selling drugs 🙃

Duwhatgsimsdu

No, that would really take away a lot of the level rewards for the dealing skill levels that enable you to sell multiple items at a time. Not going to rewrite the entire skill level system due to that request, I am afraid :)

Basemental

Could you make it so that some people want to buy more at a time? :) It could be that some of them sell a little to their friends or maybe they won't call for some time (because they are stocked up)? :D

I did vote too often, but I just believe the night time calling while they are asleep is a bit much. I also like the idea of them maybe initiating the purchase when they are invited over for the sell. I love the mod.. I really don't want my vote to come off as a complaint lol. I just voted the best in my opinion. :)

That's the beauty of the comment field, though. And relax, it's not a case of, "this answer won, I'll reduce it drastically". As of right now I am more leaning towards adjusting how it all works so there will be less calls at nighttime, none at all at nighttime from weed customers, a bunch of phonecalls (albeit slightly less than now) from addicts of harder drugs, less phonecalls in general for recreational customers.

Basemental

I see a lot of people voted way too often, which I dont agree with. Can we be able to get a way to set percentages? Cause people will say its too much, you lower it, then people will be all "thEy ArEnT CalLinG eNoUGH!"

Xmiramira

it would be good if when they call to buy, they actually initiated the purchase.

Patternless

It's too often but only a little bit so. If that makes any sense lol

Yeah, I reckon I will move the toggle off to the actual phone

Basemental

The ability to contact clients to arrange sales seems to have reduced my need for customer calls. I wish turn off the phone to clients wasn't buried so deep. Maybe even a scheduler for nighttime or whatever.

Geoffrey B Clark

That is a pretty cool idea. As in, they call all the time if they are addicts and way less frequent if they are just recreational users. It would still mean that the phone goes off just as frequent as it is right now, though. Just fewer people calling.

Basemental

personally i think it would be really cool if the amount of times they called corresponded with a level of addiction for the sim
