š Tobacco Cultivation
Click on any planter to purchase a packet of Tobacco Seeds and plant the seeds as you would a regular plant.
Harvest the plants whenever they are harvestable and so on and so forth. It is a plant, I am sure you know what to do with plants. Give them love and care and talk to them every once in a while when you think no one is listening.
How To Make The Harvested Seeds Smokable
For starters you would need a drying rack. The easiest way to get one is from the Convenience Store that comes with Basemental Drugs.
Just click on the travel tab on your Sims phone and select Convenience Store. They will head into town to purchase stuff.
Purchase a drying rack or two and place them on your Sims lot. With at least 15 harvested tobacco seeds in your Sims inventory, click on the drying rack and select "Dry Tobacco".
The drying rack will fill up with leaves and after a while they will be dry and fetchable for curing.
How To Cure The Leaves
Just click on the drying rack when the leaves have turned brown and select "Fetch Dry Tobacco".
This will automatically place the dry tobacco in curing jars for you which you can either cure in your Sims inventory or on a shelf or a similar type of surface.
After a while the curing is done and your Sim can either choose to collect the tobacco as rolling tobacco or dipping tobacco.
How To Use The Product
If you want your Sim to use their own homegrown rolling tobacco, make sure they have rolling papers or blunt wraps in their inventory. Click on the rolling tobacco bag and select "Smoke Cigarette" or "Smoke Cigar". This will deduct one paper or wrap from your Sims inventory as well as deduct one dose from the rolling tobacco bag.
For dipping tobacco, simply click on the box and select "Use Dip".
Do I Have To Grow My Own To Use Dip?
No. You can purchase other brands dipping tobacco and rolling tobacco from convenience stores or tobacco dispensers.
How To Sell Tobacco
In order to sell your homegrown tobacco, whether it is dipping tobacco or rolling tobacco, you need to get a hold of some cardboard boxes you can pack a lot of it into. Again head over to the aforementioned convenience store and get yourself a Tobacco Cardboard Box.
Once you have 60 unused bags of rolling tobacco or 60 unused dipping boxes in your Sims inventory, click on the box (placed in the world) and select "Pack Tobacco".
Once you have packed the box you can either sell it through your computer, or if you have the Horse Ranch EP you can sell it directly at the grocery store in Chestnut Ridge, or to the Mysterious Rancher.
š¾ Moonshine
So... you want to start making some moonshine, eh? Best get your gear ready then.
How To Mash and Ferment Ingredients
Head over to the Convenience Store that comes with Basemental Drugs by clicking on your Sims phone, go to the Travel tab and select "Convenience Store".
Purchase the Moonshine Mash Bucket and the following ingredients: Flaked Corn, Crushed Malted Barley and Sugar. Place the bucket on the floor or any surface, and with the ingredients in your Sims inventory, click on the bucket and select "Mash Ingredients".
This will mash all ingredients together and start the fermentation process. The longer you ferment the mash, the higher alcohol content. A low proof moonshine will not get your Sim drunk quite as fast as a high proof moonshine, there will also be other additional buffs to go with the different proofs.
Be wary when fermenting though, if you leave it for too long you will have to discard the mash.
How To Distill The Mash
Purchase one of the Moonshine Still's from the aforementioned Convenience Store. Place it anywhere in the world. Make sure you have a bucket of fermented moonshine in your Sims inventory. Click on the Moonshine Still and select "Start Distillation".
After distilling for a little while you need to discard the foreshots and heads before continuing the distillation. The foreshots are the first vapours to boil off during distillation, usually containing unwanted compounds like acetone, methanol, and aldehyde volatiles. The heads contain a high percentage of low boiling point alcohols and other compounds such as aldehydes and ethyl acetate. This is why the heads and foreshots must be discarded.
What we want however is what's called "Hearts". Which is the desirable middle alcohols from the spirit run. After bottling the hearts and colleting the bottles you could start thinking about how to sell the stuff.
Selling Moonshine
Just like with tobacco, you need to pack the Moonshine Bottles into a cardboard box that fits Moonshine Bottles. head over to the yet again aforementioned convenience store and get yourself a Moonshine Box.
Once you have 10 unused bottles of Moonshine with the same ABV (alcohol content), click on the box (placed in the world) and select "Pack Moonshine".
Now you have two options in terms of selling it. If you have Basemental Gangs installed and you know a gang member you can sell directly to them. Otherwise you need to get over to a bar and befriend a bartender on duty.
Once your friendship level is high enough you can click on the Bartender and select "Sell Moonshine" as long as you have a packed cardboard box in your Sims inventory.
Raid Risk and Moonshine Crafting Skill
Once you have sold Moonshine you will be on the law enforcements radar. If you keep up a high volume production (without taking a couple of days off ever so often) and high volume sales without laundering your money through a retail store, you will get visited by the SWAT team. They will confiscate your Sims stuff and take them to jail.
The Moonshine Crafting Skill will for the most part net you more bottles per spirit run, but will also give you higher prices when selling. The higher your Skill Level, the higher the cash-out.

Venue List
To make sure this mod works you need to download the updated Basemental Drugs venue list provided in this post.

* If you installed from the installer previously, you can delete the old files by launching the file called unins000.exe in your Basemental Drugs folder.
Basemental Drugs Zip (WINDOWS OR MAC)
- Delete all the old Basemental Drugs files from your Mods folder.
- Download the Basemental Drugs zip file.

I'm in the hospital for four months and you decide to add moonshine!?! Where was this when I needed it months ago? Love this mod. Thank you for all you do, my piss drunk sim who is being hunted by the law is everything to me right now. lol
RosieRose Rosie
Thanks!
Basemental
206 is newer than 205
RosieRose Rosie
I have version .206, is this version newer? Thank you
Pwndabaer
Is it intended to get Swatted just to brew for yourself (not selling) or is this a bug?
Domi H.
It went to my household inventory
Domi H.
Love this mod!!! Anyone having issues receiving the box for moonshine. I order it but it never comes. I went into Build mode with cheats on to find it and still not there. Everything else is working smoothly so far.
Basemental
Please head over to the support channel on the discord server for help. Link is in the bottom of the post
Lay09
Better Exceptions keeps saying there is something wrong with the package file, is there something I might need to delete?
Basemental
You donāt need empty bottles. Just start distilling and youāll get bottles
Basemental
Yes, arrests are still working as intended. Arrests still have a small percentage chance of happening, so it comes down to being lucky/unlucky - depending on what your are trying to achieve
Basemental
No. Roy canāt be removed Iām afraid
Space Zombie
Is there a way to disable Roy? Every time my sim goes to the gym this dude is always up in my face. I tried killing him several times but he's like a cockroach.
Niamh Cara
are the arrests still working fine? iāve been trying to trigger an arrest and when in the past my sims been arrested this time nothing. worried itās broken or something strange
Mrs. E
were are the empty bottles found
Carl Studebaker
The convenience store still does not have the moonshine still object available for purchase. I have updated to version 205 and installed it in my mods folder along with the most recent venue list. Still no moonshine stills are available. Very frustrating!
Basemental
Make sure you actually have the 205 version downloaded and installed and not 204 first and foremost. When you load the game youāll see which version is installed in the popup notification in the top right corner
Carl Studebaker
I am having the same issue as @PLUMPKIN PUMPKIN. No moonshine stills are appearing in the convenience store.
Basemental
Head over to the support channel on the Discord server for help :)
Basemental
Scroll down a bit and read the 7.17.201 post to see how AA works
Plumpkin Pumpkin
Loving the new craftable items! I'm trying to make moonshine but when i go to the convenience store to buy some Moonshine stills they don't show up in the shop.
Divas King Studios
I thought i saw something about AA in basemental?
Basemental
Download the newest version then. Scroll down on this page to find the most recent version of gangs
ImportedSims
I keep getting a notice the basementalgangs is out of date, can you help
Basemental
You don't sell it through gang members. You can sell it to gang members, just like you can sell it to bartenders. Just befriend a gang member and sell it to them. It doesn't require the horse ranch EP. The only interactions that requires the horse ranch EP is pouring from the Moonshine bottle into separate glasses, as well as the interactions that are locked to Chestnut Ridge, like the Grocery Store and the Mysterious Rancher. All of the rest is BaseGame compatible
Faith Walker
Do you need the Horse Ranch EP to sell moonshine to gang members? For some reason, I donāt see the option to have a gang member sell moonshine even though a full box is in my inventory.
Basemental
In the convenience store with the rest of the items. Or just click the still and select āpurchase ingredientsā
Andrea Montgomery
I was trying to get the maize. Where do I find that to make the moonshine
Basemental
Update from .204 to .205 - I added in mailbox selling in the hotfixed version.
Basemental
Might indicate that you have installed the mod incorrectly. Either way. Update from .204 to .205 and if you still experience issues definitely head over to the Discord server for help. Link is in the bottom of the post as per usual.
Amanda
I've tried both too, and the computer, and the Moonshine Still is not showing up for me. Neither is the Moonshine Cardboard Box. And i do have the horse pack
Basemental
Use the convenience store found under the Travel tab on your sims phone
Jooniper
I can't seem to find the Moonshine still. I have been to the convenience store several times.
Basemental
I am aware of the issue. It is due to you not having the Horse Ranch EP. The hotfix for this was just released. Update from .204 to .205
Basemental
It would help a lot if you actually got on Discord. That kind of issue is not ideal at all to try to figure out through Patreon DM's, and certainly not through the Patreon comments section :)
Basemental
Which pot are you using? Try the regular planter, click on it > Purchase Seeds > Scroll down to find the Tobacco Seeds
bossaboy967
whenever i try to take the bottles from the still my character bugs out and cant collect anything
Guuurl
Hii, not sure if anyone else has this issue but when I zoom out in the world there is a weird shadow glitch. this is my only mod and the shadow glitch goes away when i take the mod out. sorry i'm the derp that doesn't have discord lol.
Ritz Carlington XXVIV
everything seems like its working except there are absolutely no tobacco seeds to be found by clicking on the pot or elsewhere and the mail order dipping tobacco stuff doesn't work, but the travel ->convenience store solves the latter issue. Somewhere else to find the tobacco seeds would be clutch, but loving the update so far
Adam Sanchez
Im having the same issue. My sim just stands for a bit, T-poses, and then resets and Last exceptions picks it up as an issue regarding the still itself.
Didgeridoo Dan
Doesn't seem to be a way to sell tobacco without grid functionality due to requiring a computer to sell. Not sure if it's intentional, but it might help to be able to also sell from mailbox and/or cellphone?
Chase Robinson
After I Bottle Hearts I can't collect the bottles from the moonshine distillary, was just wondering if i needed to get the bottles first or something, but each time i click my sims stands next to it and nothing happens and i keep clicking it to no result?
Basemental
Please update from .204 to .205 - These issues are now resolved.
erica
I've tried ordering the dip and the tobacco leaves from the convenience but don't deliver in my mailbox. I've deleted all outdated basemental mods and redownloaded the newest version twice but still running into this issue
Basemental
The bartender is indeed the mixologist. Try the friendly menu when talking to them.
Niamh Cara
Is the bartender not the mixologist? where do i click to sell it? struggling to find the option
MkW_42
when i heard tobacco cultivation, i was like say less and bought patreon :))) thank you for making this mod!
Pblue2
Use the travel tab to go to convenience store (as mentioned above) it will show up there
Jenna Perine
No moonshine still to be found in the convience store or build/buy
princesstrunks
I'm not either and I'm wondering what I did wrong in the process.
FloaterLife
I'm not seeing the moonshine still at all, I tried everything
NayaMasters
I'm so excited about this update! You are amazing and we don't deserve you!
Basemental
Click on your Sims phone then Travel > Convenience Store. Don't use the Convenience Store under the Drugs tab.
Ps343
Hello, Iām not able to see the moonshine still or box in the convenience store
