Ooohweeh! At last I am pleased to say that the core features are all done and dusted. Well, for the first gang that is. But getting the same stuff implemented for the three remaining gangs is not a big deal, I just need to finish up on some of the other systems before I can start working on that.
So, since you haven't heard from me in some time doesn't mean I haven't been working my...

Thanks for all the great submissions you sent in for the Basemental Gangs build a headquarter contest. I am definitely going to do more of these kind of contests in the near future. It was awesome seeing all the different ideas and builds.
Anyway, without further ado, here is the winner (and the runner ups).

Cocaine and Amphetamine

Fixed String Tables
Quick note first and foremost, as this is something I have been asked already:
You will be playing as the leader of your new found gang. The plan is to implement interactions for playable members as well, but you will ultimately have a Sim start a gang and recruit members to get a gang up and running to begin with.
So, let's just get into some of the core features.

CONTEST ENDED - Winners will be announced 15.03.19
As Basemental Gangs will require Get To Work to function properly, I reckon it's a good idea to throw a little contest here with that Expansion Pack as the contest price.
Contest Rules:
Time to announce what I am currently sinking all my time into these days. This is so extensive that it should definitely be considered a new mod in its own right, but it will be an optional addition to Basemental Drugs, and as such it will require Basemental Drugs to function.
The mod also requires the Get To Work expansion pack, and I am going to run a contest on my Discord Server in a c...

This update is not by any means a huge update, although it contains some important fixes. The reason that I haven't had time to finish up on a large update this week is that my sole focus has been on that undisclosed project I am working on, which I am still reluctant to explain what is, all I can say is that it will be extremely intricate, and a massive addition to what is already in the drug ...
2019-02-25 01:10:36 +0000 UTC View PostI have just tested the mod rather extensively and compared a bunch of tuning files for the patch that dropped today (PC 1.50.67.1020 / Mac 1.50.67.1220) and I can safely say that everything seems to be working exactly as it should.
However, if you run across any issues with the mod you suspect are caused by this patch, please let me know on my Discord Server.

This is something I have been wanting to do for quite some time, and only seemed reasonable to implement now that I have slowly but surely started overhauling the cannabis part of the mod. With this update it is possible to legalize weed on a region basis through the Settings menu. I will definitely expand more upon this to trigger this by other means than the Settings, but the foundation is we...

First of all, I am currently working on a rather extensive new addition to the mod, that I am not going to disclose any details about just yet. Just know that it will be a lot of extra fun. It might take a while to get it ready (even to a basic state), but even though my main focus is on that, in the meantime I'll of course manage to get some regular updates out as well.

Hey guys.
While I am working on a lot of new stuff for the mod, I just thought I'd ask for your input on something I can't seem to decide on.
As you all probably know (at least those of you that owns the Get Famous expansion pack), I changed the "Juice Enthusiast" String Tables to "Alcoholic".
Would you rather that I put those additional string tables into the Optional Drink ...

So, run and update your games if you haven't already!
Peace, love, and all that stuff,

This should hopefully be the last Lean hotfix! Seems the last one I did for making sure the items doesn't get spoiled didn't work quite as intended. This time around it should be fixed, though.
However; there seems to be a "flaw" in EA's tuning for the interaction "Clean Out Spoiled Food" - This interaction also includes all empty dishes, which aren't necessarily spoiled. So, to fix...

Some quick info about this update, first and foremost.
I had to take a little break from overhauling the drugs and do something a bit more rewarding, as I was starting to go crazy with cleaning up old shitty code and syntax. So, for this version, I focused instead on overhauling the settings menu, which was a lot of fun. And, while I was at it I added some more options to the Parental Rea...

First update in 2019!
Hope you all had a good New Year's celebration, and wish you the best for this new one.
This update continues in the line of the last updates where I am overhauling the old features of the mod and making them more fluent. Cleaning up syntaxes and bad code, as well as polishing up stuff, and recategorizing everything on the backend.
This time around it is...

And the journey continues into cleaning up old stuff from the mod that works less than optimal. I am currently working on overhauling the drugs, as the code on some of the oldest drugs was quite shitty implemented, to put it mildly. This is quite important to get everything working as good as can be, and it also makes for a more realistic venture into the virtual consumption of drugs.
There are ...

Xanax implemented!
Alright! I reckon this will be the final fix for the 2.0.3.XX versions of the mod. The Xanax should be working flawlessly now. Thanks to Sevenfold1996 for pointing out that the Xanax buffs disappeared from Sims when they were travelling. It is all corrected now, and time for me to start working on the 2.0.4 versions of the mod!

I have now added reputation gains and losses to a whole bunch of interactions, but lo and behold, when I was going ...

Alright! Even though the "Yes" option was slightly in the lead for that last poll I decided to shut it down, due to the number of comments that felt strongly about this not being the best approach.

I am working on the new version for the mod, which will be very GetFamous-centric. There's a bunch of things I am working on for it, but there is one thing in particular I am quite on the fence about, so I thought the best approach here would be to get you guys' input on it.

Minor update with a couple fixes
So far it seems like there hasn't been any really major stuff I overlooked with the last release, but as is usually the case with these patch-repairing updates there are some small things that needed fixing. For the most part it was just some missing icons, and I also took the liberty of tweaking some other parts while I was at it.
Repaired post-patch!
This went a lot quicker than expected. There might be some stuff I have overlooked, so if you run into any issues, please let me know on the Discord Server so I can sort it out. I will continue to stress-test it through the evening/night, so if I find anything I will update the mod again with hotfixes.

Repaired mod
Patch day is finally upon us. As you are most likely all aware of by now,
this has broken all script mods, including Basemental Drugs.

As you all (should) know about now, there is a mod-breaking patch about to drop a few days before the 16th of November, but I will manage to get a new version of the mod up in a couple of days either way. After that I doubt I will have a new release up before the patch...
