Alright, there seems to be some differences in opinions about this, so I thought I'd make a poll to check what you guys are thinking.

Some people miss buying drugs directly from buy mode, personally I am all for making the whole buying part as realistic as possible. Obviously the Buy Drugs event still needs a whole lot of fine tuning to be perfect, for starters I want to put all the Buy interactions into a new Pie Menu to keep it more organised, as well as work more on the actual social interactions.

I also want to expand on this so you can get different interactions if you are a regular customer, ie. better prices and better quality, as well as the option to buy the drugs through the Dark Net on a computer with the chance that the drugs actually never show up in the mailbox.Any way, what are your thoughts on this matter? Realism, or quick and easy fix?

Realism is better. Hopefully that part doesn't change but I am absolutely LOVING this mod. I really appreciate and love your work!

My problem is I like both options I like the buy mode because I can buy without risk and I can buy in large amounts but I also like the dealer for the risk factor although that could use some fine tuning as well like the risk of cops and narks who turn you over to the cops or the risk of getting rolled for your drugs

DeliaDeetz

Cant you just do both? I mean is there a conflict with keeping the directly buyable drugs in the game? You could just include them as an off handed download. Just the drugs. I don't know anything about modding so I am not sure how time consuming that would be for you.

Hm, why not both? I usually prefer realism but sometimes, especially when I am Building a new venue, I'd love to have Access to all objects. I would like to have the possibility to decorate my Club with drugs.

basemental

Have you placed the basementalbuydrugsevent.ts4script directly into the mods folder (no subfolders) ?

basemental

It would not be a problem, I am considering it :)

basemental

A fair point. Will consider it for the next release

basemental

I might do 2 different versions of the mod for the next release, one without the Buy Mode option for people who just want pure realism, and one with the option to buy it from Buy Mode (I will of course keep the Drug Dealer in that version as well). That is at least what I am thinking so far, I might go back to how it is right now again when I have perfected and improved the Buy Drugs events. We'll see. One step at a time and all that

Me personally opt for realism.

Xmiramira

Hey! We need a cure all and open all function lmao I'm dying over here with this grow house lmao. Over 1200 buds

basemental

Haha. I'll see what I can do about that. On a different but related note; have you experienced issues with dealing with a lot of harvestables and items above 99+ ? I read somewhere that some games crash and freezes when dealing with huge stacks over 99+, but it was an old post/article/whatnot. Might be that EA and Maxis has fixed the glitch.

Mrs. E

Omg! Xmiramira I watched your stream hilarious 😂

Xmiramira

Yes, my sim had 1400 buds of OG Kush & when I went to move it, the game froze and my game memory shot up to over 14,000 mb in my task manager. I force quit the game and tried to recreate it. And my game froze again. But If I leave it alone it goes back to normal after a few minutes. I looked it up and its a very old EA issue with items over 99

Xmiramira

the less i had, the less the freeze delay was, 400 items, the delay was about two minutes etc.

I honestly would prefer both! I cant even choose.

Lee

I picked more realism as that's what I want in my game, but I do think there's a place for having them in BB. Sometimes I just want to set up a scenario or have something on a lot that isn't directly tied to my sim taking actions and it's annoying having to jump in as a player and have to go buy some drugs and then stash them on a lot just so there can be some pills in the back room of a club, or something like that.

NeuNeu

I am happy to support you!

basemental

I think this is the most solid argument for adding it back to Buy Mode as well. I will definitely put them back in buy mode as an option solely due to this. Nice to see the result of the poll nonetheless, though :)

basemental

Make sure you have script mods enabled in game, and that you are playing on the latest patch of TS4. If this doesn't sort you out, send me an email at basemental@basementalcc.com and we'll figure it out. Alright?

Samantha Cox

Personally I want both. I want my sims to be able to buy from a dealer, but I want my dealer sims to have the ability to purchase them from buy mode. Buying quantity from the dark net sounds cool af too.
