Basemental Drugs 6.13.150
🕑 Added 2020-08-29 23:45:12 +0000 UTCI am proud to present a newly added drug, namely Steroids. This was in fact something Kutto started working on that he graciously handed over, it's since been altered and added a whole lot more stuff to it. I still have a few things to implement to this feature, but I feel this is already in presentable development stage where you can start playing around with it.

Changing World
The prices for drugs bought by the NPC dealers have been changed around on a regional basis, and there is new batches of molly out on the streets.
Doctors Appointment
The Doctors Appointment has been cleaned up quite a bit. Instead of having multiple options on your Sims phone for regular appointments, chemotherapy, urgent appointment they have all been wrapped into one called "Doctors Appointment". You gain access to it by clicking on the Dealing tab on your Sims phone, and it will give you a menu looking like this (the Chemotherapy option will only appear if your Sim is currently undergoing Chemo).
The Public and Private Hospital is your regular Doctors Appointment, the place to go if you need Xanax, Adderall, or whichever drug you need prescribed by a doctor. The difference here is the price and opening hours.
The Public Hospital is closed on weekends, holidays and is only open between 9AM and 9PM on weekdays.
The Private Hospital, however, is open 24/7 but is way more expensive.
Chemotherapy is just that. Chemotherapy. If your Sim gets diagnosed with cancer you will get a notification every time you need to attend a chemotherapy session, just like before, the difference is that you will find it in this menu from now on.
Bloodwork is a newly added addition that ties in to the new drug that has been implemented in this version. Here you can check up on your Sims blood pressure. If it is too high due to excessive testosterone your Sim might get some Estrogen Blockers which should hopefully get your Sims hormones in check and avoid permanent damage to vital organs.
There are a couple of ways to get a hold of Steroids. There is always the Dark Web, which obviously has all the stuff you need, but an even easier way would be to hit up your local gym.
Hang around long enough and you'll notice a Shady Individual by the name of Roy D. Dillon
Befriend him and you'll get the option to buy Steroids from him through the Drugs menu.
There are two different kinds of Steroids available.
Testosterone Enanthate
This is the weaker, and safer option of the two. It will get your Sim jacked, albeit not as fast or effective. It will also reduce the risk of the worst of side effects if used somewhat responsibly.
Trenbolone
Trenbolone gives impressive muscle gains. Five times more potent than testosterone it is one of the most powerful anabolic steroids on the market.
Both of the steroids comes in bottles of 5 doses. To use them, place the objects outside your Sims inventory (on a counter for instance), click on the object, and select "Inject". Your Sim will then walk over to the bathroom, take their clothes off and inject the drug.
Note: the animation for this is a placeholder animation. Mike24 is working on a new one that will include a syringe.
Effects
Both the aforementioned steroids will give your Sim an energized buff after use, which also boosts your Sims ability to build their fitness skill, and muscle. This effect is increased if the dosage is upped and if it's used in succession over the course of several days / weeks.
You should pay attention however, as you don't want to overdo it, due to the severity of the side effects, particularly on high doses.
Side Effects
The side effects vary from mild to severe. Be prepared to experience everything under the sun from back acne, roid rage, nausea, dizziness, headaches, liver damage and in the worst cases death due to liver failure or cardiac arrest.
PCT (Post Cycle Treatment)
Whenever your Sim is doing a cycle of steroid injections, it is highly recommended you send them to the doctor to get a "Bloodwork" appointment (see "Doctors Appointment" above).
If the blood pressure is high enough the doctor will prescribe Estrogen Blockers for your Sim, which is what you want to start your Post Cycle Treatment.
If you want to you can start the treatment right away. You will not be able to inject more steroids while undergoing PCT.
The other option is to calm down on the steroid usage to make sure your blood pressure goes down, continuously check up on your Bloodwork to get an all clear from the doctor and inject more steroids, or wait until the effects and side effects are all gone before starting your PCT.
However: When you start PCT you need to keep on top of it and remember to take one pill each day until the treatment is all complete. If you skip a day or two the treatment might be unsuccessful and your Sim might end up with permanent damage to their liver.
Note: This will also (in the near future) be a cross functionality with Wicked Whims so permanent damage will include impotence in males and infertility in females.
Aliens and Vampires
Aliens will not respond to steroids the same way humans respond to steroids. I am not going to give this away, but if you have an alien Sim, give it a go.
Vampires will not get the most severe of side effects from steroid usage, and they can also drink the blood of steroid users, instead of injecting, to get the steroid effects.
Autonomy
To set a Sims autonomy level or decide if they are to take Steroids autonomously, access the Autonomous Drug Use tab from the Basemental Settings. It is there alongside all the other drugs.
Final Note
Apart from the aforementioned "to come" bits in the text above, the plan is also to implement some additional muscle gain that expand beyond the scope of what CAS is currently able to provide us with (without using sliders). It was tempting to wait with releasing this until I got that and the animation in place, but I feel like the feature is in a state of being good enough to start playing around with already.
Other Changes
The only thing I feel like touching in on here is the changes to "Eco Footprints" in the Basemental Settings. The latest patch did a number on how I altered the footprints for all districts, so until I have time to come up with a better way to handle this I have temporarily disabled this feature.
You can still alter the current region you are in and you can still lock, slow down or normalize the decay value, but for now the Greenify/Industrialize/Neutralize all districts option is removed.

Buntah
I have to admit I upgraded my membership just to be able to dl this update immediately ... I can't play my game without drugs!! (literally LOL) ... sorry for being a cheapskate but I'm old and on a fixed income so I have to choose my pleasures carefully
Trene Fulton
I love this mod!!!!!
jamforcella
Great work! I was thinking if you could add some other side effect that could be very interesting: e.g. women who takes steroids can develop some mood disorders, they start to grow hair on the face and on the legs. Moreover their sexual appetite increase a lot. Do you think you could work on it? Thanks again for your precious work.
Basemental
No they cannot. Did not want to have NPC's die left right and center without player interference, I try to keep the mod as little obtrusive as possible unless you actively decide to use a certain feature
CountrySimmer27
Hey!! Great work!!! Question can NPC get cancer without interference from me, and are the notifications that a NPC is sick?? If not that’ll be a good idea.
Are you going to make it that we can sell the roids?
SailorEffinMoon
Yes, I could totally see an elder sitting in a rocking chair and smoking his pipe :D
Tristan Chambers
YES!!! I've seen so many different reactions to steroid use (some positive, most at least slightly negative) in person. This has a lot of potential. Thank you.
natalie weston
i would love you to do a smoking tabacco pipe for elders and maybe then rollies
Destiny Wasson
You are most definitely my favorite modder in this community.
Basemental
To everyone that’s asking, sorry to disappoint you: No, I still have literally no interest in adding heroin to the mod. It is not that I was lacking a syringe object that had kept me from adding it in, but rather that I find it extremely uninteresting. Not only in terms of gameplay value, but also in terms of enjoying myself working on my mods. Out of all the features related to drugs, drug consumption, the drug trade and so on, heroin as a feature is so far down on my personal list it’s not even on my radar.
Myra Carter
Soooo dope!! Any chance we'll be getting heroin anytime soon? xx
Hillary Mullins
exactly what i was thinking ^^^^ I hope this means we'll be getting drugs that require syringes after the official animation is completed
Hopefully now with syringes we can get heroin but great work with steroids adds good story elements
Kait Rich
Love it. Can you add Kratom to the game? And maybe harder drugs too like heroin? Would really add to some of my story line. Thanks!
You are a god send. You are one of the creators that got me interested in creating mods for sims 4. Luv ya
Bianca Davis
Im SO SO SO excited! I love playing with this mod!
