I get that it can be a nuisance with the constant phone calls/messages from customers when you have one of the drug dealer traits. There is two obvious solutions on how to sort this out, so I decided to make a poll to see what you guys would prefer.This poll has ended. Even though most people voted for option #2, there was a lot of you that wanted both functions. So I implemented both of the option in version 1.08.2

Sounds like a drug lord problem.

Michael Stern

I voted for both.... but only because I think the trait removal should eventually be doable. The toggle calls option would be my choice for what comes first.

Vinny

I ended up getting sick of the phone calls and ended removing the trait through the cheat console. I like the roleplay value of your first option.

Duwhatgsimsdu

I don't get enough phone calls I've been playing as a teen drug dealer for over a sim week and I still have yet to get one call. Is this feature not available for teens with the drug dealer trait?

Sarah

Both options are great! I would like the phone toggle for sure. The removing trait would also be nice for the roleplaying aspect.

Masakatsu

I think that also having a limit on the repeat calls. A sim might not call for 24 to 48 hrs after hey have bought drugs.

Ottena Rowe

I think the phone toggle would be a great idea. And you are doing a fantastic job on this mod! I love it! Thank you

basemental

It is not available at all for Sims with the CAS drug dealer trait. That trait is meant for a Sim you won't be playing with really, but enable you to buy drugs from. You need to befriend the dealer with that trait and ask him or her to become a MDMA, Cocaine or Speed dealer. Then you will get phone calls from customers asking to buy whichever drug you are peddling.

basemental

That is a great idea. And very doable

Cinjan

I agree. A time limit on how often they can call

Lianda

If I can say, I think it should be random, because not all drug users are alike. Some people use drugs more often then others, and therefore need drugs more often than others. If you set a cool down it could make the game seem more mechanical and not as spontaneous. Maybe if this isnt too much extra work you could make it so customers have different levels of addiction, and how often they call is based of their "level of addiction" and, if you get a sim calling way too much maybe an other option to tell him to go find another dealer! :-)

basemental

I think the issue we were talking about here is something that occurs basically right after the customer leaves, like literally walks out the door and calls back up after 1 hour which feels a bit weird, especially when it happens over and over. I am not sure 24 hours is ideal either. That being said, I do like your suggestion, although I think it will be a lot of work implementing it that would ultimately derail me from a lot of other things that I would like to see implemented soon. I'll keep it in mind though as I really like the suggestion :)

I just love u.... n e way it should be an option on the dealers phone to shut down when he or she wants to cause as said b4 all custo's r diff and they neva stop coming ...:) lol

Hi! What do I have to download to make your mod work? I tried to download and put all of your mod pack files into my mod folder, and I tried to only use the latest version. Either way, it's not working or parts of the mod doesn't work.. What exactly do I have to do to make your mod be 100%? :-) I love it btw

basemental

Hi Annika, what exactly does not work?

Revy Rei

I think it would be fun if you could get others addicted by giving them drugs then only sell to ppl who are addicted. If they are addicted then you could have an option to become their dealer which would make that person call you for more drugs. The more you build up your client base, the more phone calls you get and the more money you make. This way if you want to make money by selling drugs you actually have to put in some effort instead of being able to sell to any random person ^^

NIKASIMS

I can't buy drugs. Not from dealers, not on internet, not by using phone. Only if I buy things like "bag of cocaine" in buildmode.

Bianca B.

Can u maybe implement something how the drugs affect children`? Like if the Parents are addicts or do drugs around kids a lot they get taken away? Would be very nice

davonski borders

I picked turn off call cause if u don't want to be bothered or stop sales just stop

basemental

That's a really great idea. I will add it to my extensive to-do list :)

basemental

I love this idea. I wonder if most people would be up for putting in all that legwork, though.

Revy Rei

T.T don't take my babies from me...They will grow up to be fine drug dealers someday!

Revy Rei

Dealin' ain't easy...Plus it will make it more of a career that you have to manage ;p

basemental

I partially agree. But dealing ain't that hard that you singlehandedly have to get the whole town hooked on whichever drug you are dealing, either.

Revy Rei

Good point. What if you skip the addiction part and just have an option to become someone's preferred dealer? At that point, the person will call you to buy drugs. This way you can control the amount of phone calls you get based on the amount of clients you have. You can be a very active dealer with many clients/calls or a part-time dealer with only a few clients/calls.

Mel Pagan

If you do do this, I hope you make it an on/off option. I think it'd be nice for certain storylines but not for every family.
