Prison Rework
One thing that remains sort of unchanged, at least on the surface, is how the SWAT team and officers out on patrol is operating. They will bust you and confiscate your belongings as per usual. But after that initial bust, there is a lot of changes.
Lawyer Selection
Once your Sim is released from their brief visit to jail you will see a notification pop up that you should select a lawyer to represent you in the upcoming trial.

Follow the instructions outlined in the notification and you will be able to choose from three different law firms. The top one is the most expensive choice, but also the best law firm. Choosing a good law firm will increase your chances of getting reduced sentencing.

You will have two days to select a law firm to represent you, if you choose to rather skip this step and represent yourself in court you have as good as no chances of reduced sentencing.
Trial
As soon as the two days are up your Sim will get a notification that the trial is starting and they will head to the trial rabbit hole event.

The sentence passed down by the judge is calculated through a few different factors. First of all, how serious the offense was to begin with. Secondly if your Sim is the leader of a gang or not and the police is currently investigating your Sim and their gang. And thirdly, which law firm you selected.
Example:
Eduardo got caught selling cocaine and got busted with various hard drugs in his inventory. He is charged with a felony which would dictate a long prison sentence. However, since he is the leader of a gang the charge got moved up to a serious felony, which equals a maximum prison sentence (more on sentences underneath).
Eduardo went with a good law firm, and they managed to reduce his sentence to a regular felony. However, since he is a gang leader he is ordered to pay a hefty fine.*

It is not a 100% guarantee that the best law firm is able to reduce sentencing, but they are way more likely to. There is even a low chance of them reducing your charge from a serious felony to a misdemeanor. All of the calculations are done percentage wise, and there is no static guarantee that you will get increased or reduced sentencing.
* Fines are calculated by a percentage of your Sims household funds.
Sentencing
There are three possible prison sentences for the final outcome of the trial. A short sentence, a long sentence and maximum sentence.
- Short Prison Sentence - 3 days in Prison
- Long Prison Sentence - 5 days in Prison
- Maximum Prison Sentence - Life in Prison (Game Over)
If you play a household with more than 1 Sim and you travel off lot with another family member than your incarcerated Sim the prison sentence will essentially be paused. So if they serve a sentence of 3 days, and you use a different Sim to travel off lot for an entire day those three days turn into four days.
Prison
After the trial has ended and the judge has put your Sim away, you can play your other household members as normal. You will however get a bunch of occasional dialog options for your incarcerated Sim in jail that you need to think through.

The outcomes of your actions will affect your Sims stay in prison, and dictate how the story progresses. The two most important factors here are that your actions can build or remove your Prison Reputation. Some of the actions can also give your Sim reduced or prolonged sentencing.

There are also other benefits you might pick up from some of the prison adventure moments, but I am not gonna spoil any of that. Rather pay attention to the text and you should be golden.
Prison Reputation
The amount of prison reputation your Sim racks up does more than affect how your Sim is treated behind bars. It will also give them a Trait when released from prison. There are three different traits your Sim can get from a stay in prison. Each one comes with various features that will affect their life on the outside.
The traits range from your Sim becoming paranoid/not very sociable to getting better deals from NPC dealers.
Venue List
To make sure this works you need to download the updated Basemental Drugs venue list provided in this post. I recommend installing this venue list in a separate folder directly in your Mods folder called: Basemental Venue List

Choose one of these 2 installation methods. Not both.

- Delete all the old Basemental Drugs files from your Mods folder.*
- Download this Basemental Drugs.exe file.
- Run the Basemental Drugs.exe file.
- Choose which Optional Packages you want included.
- Delete your localthumbcache.package
* 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.

Basemental drugs and basmental gangs is causing my game to close before loading my families. I'm using better exceptions.
Hi. I'm new here. I had the old basemental drugs installed and it made me lose my doors. I deleted and it and reinstalled, but i keep seeing the message script failed?
Nascent
New here....do we need to have Basement Gangs for the prison feature to work?
Taylor Johnson
its not letting me click on the items when I try to order drugs ;(
i just updated it 2 times and it still says outdated
Yolanda Burks
Keeps saying this mod is outdated i keep coming back here too see if it updated
this update in the game says its outdated
Joi
You'll have to remove it until they update the mod, unfortunately. I had to do this some weeks ago. I really hope there's an update soon! I miss playing with this mod!!!!
tianna williamson
this mod keeps crashing my game. Every time i load my game with it installed it stops responding.
Basemental
Assuming you have 10 various items of hard drugs in your Sims inventory, click on counters, couches, beds etc and click "Stash Drugs". Your Sim will run over there and stash a random hard drug from their inventory.
does anyone know how to complete the goal stash 10 hard drugs during the swat raid?
Basemental
Either you have an outdated version of the mod or an outdated/cracked version of the game. Make sure you have the most recent (legal) version of the game bought through Origin and the version of the mod found in the post you are commenting on.
anyone know why doors dont pop up with basemental drugs?
Basemental
Hi Liz. The next release is in the finishing testing stages right now, it's taken longer than usual, but only because it is a big one with a bunch of new features. I just tested the papers, works fine here. Mind heading over to the support channel on Discord for further support on this? Would be good to get to the bottom of it with you and figure out why it is not working on your end.
Liz
When will there be an update? Rolling a joint doesn't lessen the amount of rolling papers right now, it still says there are 5 rolling papers. Blunts are fine.
SaltyGhost
i really need too look into how basemental works properly because damn there is so much i don’t utilise in gameplay 🥴
Basemental
The reason why it doesn't make sense saying how much time exactly gets added is simply that it depends on your style of playing. That is, if you travel off lot with other family members or play with rotational households the time is essentially frozen when you are not on your incarcerated Sims home lot. That being said, if you stay on the lot the entire time it is not as much as several days, more like half a day extra.
Chole Elaine Machen
Question.. with time added to the sentence much tie is added a day or two, my sim was given a short sentence but got time added it did not say how much?
Basemental
You can go to jail by doing drugs in public as well, although in the latter scenario the severity of the penalty depends on how much drugs your Sim is carrying on them when getting busted.
Patrick Meakins
do you have to be a dealer to get sent to jail or can u just do the drugs in public n be caught
Basemental
You sure your Sim is addicted to a substance that allows them to go to rehab though?
Basemental
Cheers Ashley
Basemental
Either you don't have the uptodate version of the game or an outdated version of the mod. If you head over to the Discord server it is easier to get to the bottom of it
Basemental
Would be great if you head over to the Discord server to report the issue so we can try to get to the bottom of it
Basemental
You should be. Do you have any issues with getting Steroids from him?
Basemental
If you installed it correctly it means you are on a pirated version of the game, or at least not uptodate version of the game. Buy the game from Origin and make sure you are on the most current version of the game and mod
Damon
this is the main and most updated version.
Sassy Mama
What is the patreon one? Is it different from the Basemental drugs download?
Damon
it includes it, make sure you're using the most up to date version. I think the download you're referring to is year old lol this post includes everything.
Sending your Sim to rehab is not coming up as an option when clicking in the sim
Jensa Fish
I just recently started modding. Do I need to download the available downloads from the 'Weeds' section to get that or does this Basemental Drugs mod that I'm commenting on include all of that?
Dang Man
I love this mod and specifically this latest version is so awesome. But it removes my doors and i just get the script call failed error sadly. If I download the public version instead, will it work?
Ashley Kyles
appreciate the consistent and relevant updates. To many mode creator's have to update with every patch or origin update. two thumbs up
Yolanda Zanie
question...are we not able to get steroids from the Shady guy anymore?
Dang Man
Hi thank you for your wonderful mods! For some reason i keep getting a script call failed message when trying to place objects and once I removed this mod the error stopped happening. Do you know if this mod conflicts with any other mods? Or is this outdated? Thank you
BlueSkyla
So I’m having a problem where this specific mod for some reason will remove all planted and harvestable plants, not trees, but plants on my existing games when loading into a lot for play. Also if I try to use a premade lot or room with plants from the gallery they also become removed upon placement. I did lots of test and its definitely Basmental Drugs. I’m at a loss.
Tajmah spencer
this update is dope
Basemental
I'd recommend you hop over to the Discord server for support and troubleshooting your issue. Links in the bottom of the post
Basemental
Do you have the Get Together expansion pack? The rave feature requires that pack
Basemental
It is updated to the latest TS4 game patch is what it means. Doubt updating it now will break the game for you in any significant way however. Anyways, the only thing I can recommend you is update the game and make sure your mods are up to date and compatible with the latest game patch
Basemental
Hey. Head over to the support channel on the Discord server, it will be easier to troubleshoot it with you over there.
Basemental
Yes. Seems a lot of people don't want that added real risk to their gameplay, so I'll add something in
hey for some reason the option to sell cocaine isnt there anymore. Once i click on "drugs" the "cocaine" tab is completely gone and only shows settings & the other drugs I sell. Any tips?
Kirsten
Is there going to be a way to disable the life in prison sentencing or override it?
LylahsMommy26
This might be a stupid question lol but I haven’t updated to the newest patch because I am waiting for some mods to be updated but every time I go in game it says that this mod is updated so can I update it now or should I wait till I update my game to the newest patch . I would hate to update it and its not compatible with out my game being updated and I break my game since I just got it to start working again lol
Daniel Turner
is there a "more info" button at the bottom of the message? sometimes clicking that lets you download anyway
my computer wont let me download Basemental Drugs.exe. it says it cant scan it and that it might have a virus.
it says that for the rave venue I need a DJ booth, I cant find this anywhere?
bossaboy967
you guys should add dabs in
I think the new update messed up the mod. I cant even purchase weed
Basemental
Yup. But as long as they aren’t carrying huge amounts of hard drugs on them when they are busted they shouldn’t be charged for more than a misdemeanor
Ps343
Hello, so this is only for dealers? I know before people who used in public could be arrested. does this apply to them too?
Basemental
A couple of things. First of all this mod is not downloadable from Wicked Whims, two different mods and mod authors. Secondly, please use the Discord server for support questions. Links in the bottom of the post. Thirdly, if it was you that wrote about cannabis issues in the Discord server earlier today you never replied to the support
Abigail Muir
Hi. I sent a private message earlier asking for help on something as well, but maybe this will be better. I am having problems with the mod. Does not matter whether I've downloaded the mod directly from Wicked Whims or here on your page, but for some reason my sims do not get the option to smoke cannabis, I've grown it, but it won't go into the cure jar which my sims bought from the headshop. They have blunts and papers aswell as bongs, and I managed to find pre-curing cannabis jars in build it mode, but even when that was cured my sims still not get any options to smoke with the jar's in their inventory. Is there a mod I am supposed to download or what could the problem be?
Basemental
It is normal for any exe file downloaded from an independent author without a code signature license. When running the exe file Your PC will also tell you that Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting, this is also normal - Just click “More info” and “Run anyway”. If you are still using 3rd party antivirus software, for whatever reason, it might throw a fit over the file over the same reasons specified above, pause the antivirus software prior to installing. If you for some reason don't feel comfortable doing it that way, install it manually through the zip file instead. The end result is the same, but the exe file will do all the legwork for you.
ashley fredericksen
it says file Basemental Drugs.exe is unsafe to download is this normal???

It’s a strange bug that has been occurring for some weird reason on a couple of games. You could try to use this cheat in the cheat console: basemental.fix_multiple_roys
Ty63r R33S!EPIECES
it was a UI error i had to update that cheat so its fixed
Ty63r R33S!EPIECES
I am having an issue purchasing off the dark web I cant buy any drugs everything is greyed out
You have to purchase an empty weed jar in buy/build mode.
Roy D. Dillon showed up in my game a second time without a name. Not sure if this is a known bug. Not a big deal though, I renamed him on the spot (MCCC) and now he's know as Imur Frendo :)
How do i cure my weed ?
Tammy Tammy
How do I get busted?
Taya
Just wanna give you props for Wexler McGill!! The best & second best lawyers out there!
LowCrow80
There was a patch update today for the Spa Day Refresh. If you've been updating today, this is probably what's causing those notifications.
Jo
Anyone having an issue with update notifications because the mod is "out of date"? I've updated to 7.13.174 several times and continue to get the notification... tell me I'm not alone lol
Basemental
Thanks. I'll look into it :)
Linda
Not sure if anyone else has noticed/reported this or not, but when I went to buy cocaine from Roy D after getting out of prison, I wasn't actually charged for it. At first I thought it was just cancelling out the action before I could get it, then I looked at my inventory and had 5 high grade bricks but no money change. Could just be a glitch on my end, but thought I'd let you know.
Basemental
Pregnancy is a good point that I haven't even considered. I'll look into it.
Risiera
Base I'm guessing pregnancy will be paused while they are in prison? Also...any chance of not getting max sentence when a sim is preggo? 🙌 maybe a hefty fine, house arrest and probation? 😅
Basemental
This is, as you can see, an update for Basemental Drugs
Basemental
You aren’t supposed to remove integral features of the mod. The question is rather why do you want to remove something you don’t know what is?
what is 'Basemental:GoTo_Rehab_ThirdRehab_RabbitHole_Interaction' and how do you remove it
Simlyex
No, new update for the gangs ?
Basemental
The huge bag of cocaine was removed a few versions back, if you still see it as an option it might indicate you have an old version installed. I'd advice you to head over to the Discord server for support help. Links in the bottom of the post
l-z
Also, could you add a like a run away from the cop's option or something like that
l-z
For some reason when I buy the huge bag of cocaine from the big shot dealer I don't receive it, how do I fix this?
Can't wait to play with these new features!!!!
BriTheButterflyy
Amazing as always👍🙌👏👏👏
Belsasim
Wow! Thank you!
Basemental
Duly noted
Basemental
Not currently possible to prevent or cheat it, no. It’s basically the same as when a sim dies, technically speaking, but instead of turning into ghosts and have the grim reaper show up etc they get sent straight out of your game
I cannot wait to play with this!! :D
Stefani Briana
This is INSANE! Can't wait to play around with this!! Thank you so much for this and it's seriously appreciated!
Paracelly
What happens when they get life? Are you able to prevent it or cheat it?
Monica Meas
I love how much you put into work, this is one of my favorite mods
Basemental
It is not. It would be as good as impossible to implement it that way as the adventure moments is designed to last throughout the incarceration time. 5 days might not seem like a whole lot, but in terms of regular game play it is. Also when you add in the point of family members travelling off lot and the extended time that causes
Ashleigh
Hey Basemental, Is it possible to get different flavours of jail time length? I know that would be extra work, but I've altered my lifespan in game to be more realistic, so a long jail sentence is literally just three quarters of a week for my sims. Just a suggestion I thought be neat.
Ron Gillis
Oh ok cool I’m always looking for ways to get them busted haha 😂
Basemental
Sims also have a chance of getting busted by using illegal drugs in public spaces. If they are just carrying it in their inventory they should be safe, though
Ron Gillis
This is awesome!! Can your sim get busted just by out @ a venue with drugs on them or do they have to be a dealer? Like can a random sim get busted?
CrystalkSimmer
Omg! Thank you so much!
Riley Blanco
And I was gonna take a nap...well not now! LOL
Malaiyah
I hope this isnt too forward, but i love you. Lol seriously this is an amazing update, cant wait to play!!
Chole Elaine Machen
I'm so excited to play with this!!!!
Datmanv
nice, an idea please have the police work with the police in the game, i have a sim thats a cop and his brother is a drug dealer, club owner, gangster. i was hoping i can use more cop interaction to arrest ppl anytime and help my drug dealer brother our from getting busted.
Adam Washington
Choosing them just so there will be some unexpected "problems" with the prosecution's case
Adam Washington
HEY WEXLER MCGILL
Christina West
This is AMAZING
Basemental
I am sure you'll be good as long as your Sim doesn't carry a boatload of hard drugs in their inventory when getting busted. It's easy enough to avoid the max penalty.
Ashley
I'm already scared to get caught just reading these punishments 😬
Basemental
Should be there now :)
sorry am I not seeing the venuelist file
