It is time for a quick poll related to the recently added police busts. First things first, I have finally figured out a way to make sure that the Sim busted gets his or her stuff confiscated and not the Sim that is targeted at the time of the bust. This will obviously be included in the new version of the mod that will come out sometime during the upcoming week.But, over to the poll. Now you guys have had the time to play around with the police busts for a while, and I am really eager to see what your thoughts are regarding the chances of getting busted. Some of you have been vocal about it, but I need as much opinion on this as possible as I don't really want to change something unless the majority of you think it is a problem.Do you think the percentage chance of getting busted by the cops is too high?

I had a drug dealer who was also a cop.

BlackWidow

In my opinion it's fine the way it is. Wouldn't want it too high and be paranoid of the cops lol

Simbot

In my sim, I haven't been busted yet. Although I'm just a low level high school speed slinger. :)

Sarah Mae

I just wish I the cops wouldn't come in my house

Victoria Smith

I can’t use my drugs for some reason and cops never called come to my house

Zamurai

My probably unrelated suggestion is to maybe increase the amount of time it takes to level up the skills. For example cocaine dealing skill, too easy to level up in. Just my opinion.

basemental

Follow the download instructions. Delete all the old Basemental Drugs files before installing the new version

basemental

Good point. As of right now it goes way quicker if you sell high quality cocaine and amphetamine. I have been meaning to tune that down to the same as when selling worse quality

Willow

I wonder if you could add a percentage for arrests so we could choose how risky to make it? Because I'm getting arrested nearly everyday haha.

Zamurai

You mean sort of like a difficulty setting? That'd be interesting

Zamurai

Sounds good. Is there any way I can contact you other than here? Just curious

Willow

Exactly. I'm thinking kinda like how you can choose the percentage of pregnancy in Wicked Whims. That way, seedier neighborhoods like San MyShuno Spice District would be a higher risk, but then you could drop the percentage in more upscale neighborhoods. Police rarely look there. If I'm dealing at my house, surely the risk would be lower than if I was dealing on the street, etc.

Mel Pagan

Would there be an option to turn this off? I haven't gotten on sims in a few days and just saw this update and I felt the anxiety kick in as if I was the actual drug dealer.

Jae

I would want that option too. I like to think of my Sims universe as kind of a Utopia where all the drugs are legal.

BL4DE

Addicts can be snitches and many times are. Dealing from home might be safer to not get busted in a random police inspection but you WILL get a visit from the police later on. Preferably at 4 am.

basemental

I will have this poll up for a few more days, but so far, what I am gathering from the poll results is this; quite a few of you are really into pressing buttons and get all tingly around polls. Secondly, the opinions on this matter differ greatly, although so far most of you seem to think it is tuned a bit low. I will get some settings implemented to this. Turn on/off and increased/decreased chance of getting busted. Everyone plays their game differently and this will mean that you can taylor the settings to your likings.

I can't find the jars to harvest them...its my first time even using this mod since i been doctoring my game since these updates

Lowell Delaney

they are in the head shop on line on the computer :)

Jessica palmer

Thanks bunches...Im not going to tell you what I thought it was lol. Since I got WW I don't put nothing past what can happen in the game lol

Nani ?

Is there something I’m doing wrong in regards to selling drugs? My sim gets busted after EVERY sale now. I thought it was due to location, amount of product on my person, and friendship with the customer. So I sucked it up and stayed on my home lot along with leaving only two bottles of MDMA & two ziplocs of OG. Last came being good friends with the customer, we cracked a few jokes and reminisced about the few times I’d sold them drugs prior to now... alas, we were busted :c Now I don’t know if this means anything or not but I’ll share. This sim is in a household of three & they reside in San Myshuno. Should I move them to another world to properly sell? I mean I love the idea of cops having the chance to bust us, however every single sale since the first arrest has gone awry.

Willow

I have a single sim in San Myshuno. I was selling in the Spice District near the vendor stalls, when all of a sudden, I realized the cop was a VENDOR. He ran out of his vendor stall and busted my ass...lol. San Myshuno is definitely not safe XD

SeeJayGrxxve

I haven't been arrested yet I must be a good drug dealer lol

Ste White

I've only been busted once it would be great if we could have an adjustable cheat so we can fine tune it to suit our game

basemental

What was your Sim selling and which level was he/she at?

Willow

For me, it's my maxed level cocaine dealer. BUT- I have found a way to circumvent it. I used MCCC to delete the cop and no new cops have spawned...lol. Fuck the police!

Nani ?

selling MDMA lvl 3, Cocaine max lvl, & quit selling speed bc of the first arrest yet he was at lvl 4.

Lola M

that's an excellent idea, i like a setting where i can have the cops harass my sim one day and get rid of them the next, and maybe an option to pay the cops off but you would only be able to do it like once a week or something like that

Simmin Nikki

I get busted more at home then I do out in public.

Aaliyahx3

could you pls add back that we can order drugs from the dark web ?

basemental

You still can. You need to level up Amphetamine, Cocaine or MDMA Dealing skill to at least level 3 to do so, though

basemental

This is just a matter of percentage and coincidence

basemental

I like the pay cops off idea! Thanks

Leandro Páez

I vote for an option to turn off this feature

Lola M

Your welcome 😊

MR. M

Is it possible to have your house as a safe zone?

ThKi111

I think the Get Busted function is great. It always hurts losing all of my supply, but I guess that's what comes with the territory. Maybe there could be an option to talk the cop out of getting busted with a bribe or cut of profits to take things to a whole other level? Also maybe an option to plea, serve time and not lose all of your supplies? LOL just a couple of ideas.

Miki

I feel like users should get busted too. I think if they're doing drugs in public or outside their home there should be a risk.

basemental

I like that. Thanks for the suggestion :)

basemental

Read up on how it works in the post titled Basemental Drugs v1.1.2.02

Myrrah

i haven't tried it out so can't respond to the poll. i got distracted by playing dying light. It's funny-remember in the Matrix when the guy in white told Neo that humans don't thrive if there is nothing to "fight" against/for? I find that sims makes me feel something like a sugar overload and i have to take a break to go fight zombies or something :P That's why i appreciate your making this mod. Makes it a little less saccharine. Anyways-gonna go check this out today

basemental

Haha. This comment made my day. Thanks :)

ThKi111

I was busted in my house once with the mod, but I think I sold on the lawn or porch and the cop entered. I find that selling in the house usually keeps the Popo's from coming. LOL I sold once in the game outside of a club and soon after saw a cop near the way home. I tried transporting to the entry way to get home and the cop ran to the entry and it would not allow me to transport or cancel the travel home. It was nerve wrecking and hilarious to watch the inevitable happen. Handcuffs and confiscation. HAHA
