Venue List
To make sure this mod 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. I also recommend updating it whenever there is a new mod version out as I constantly add in new custom venue compatibility from other mod authors.
Choose one of these 2 installation methods. Not both.
Basemental Drugs Installer (WINDOWS ONLY)
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.
Unzip the Basemental Drugs zip file.
Place the files in a folder titled Basemental Drugs in your Mods folder.
Delete the Basemental Drugs zip file.
Delete your localthumbcache.package

BigBloo
Thanks for your mods the make the game so much fun, probably wouldn't play it without them!! Also could you make the cocaine bricks stackable again pleaseeeee
Martin
Just wanted to thank you for your mods. They add so much to the game. Been playing a lot of gang stuff recently and it is just fun. I was wondering if you plan on adding nicotine free vapes in the future? Would be really nice. I hate that addicted to nicotine buff lol.
Basemental
If you have a BE saying that the tuning is invalid please head over to the support channel on Discord, as this might indicate a wrong installation or something akin to that. There shouldn't be any invalid tuning errors if everything is installed correctly.
Brittany Perea
hello, no rush, but i was wondering if you have an estimate when basemental drugs will be updated? i keep getting a better exceptions report saying the tuning is invaild.
Basemental
Hey Jozzy. I am aware of the issue. Working on a fix
Basemental
Head over to the support channel on the Discord server so we can troubleshoot the issue with you over there
Commander Shepard
Hey huge fan of the mod, was wondering if you had any plans to add heroine into the mod? Maybe even make it to where they can tie off and inject it or snort it. In no way do I condone it in real life but it would be really cool in a game.
Jozzy
Hey Basemental just wanted to give you a heads up about the gang tattoos, it looks as though they may need to be updated! They have been making my sims cc glitch
Andrea Morway
I've been trying to get my sim arrested for selling drugs/using drugs but they will not arrest him. Criminalized everywhere. Difficulty level hard. Nothings working. Do you have a cheat or something?
Basemental

Basemental
If your Sims smoke a lot of weed and act like a stoner they will get buffs that indicates they are indeed a stoner. It doesn't make sense to me to add "Stoner" as a personality trait as it isn't really a personality trait. The same goes with what you call a "Junkie", instead Sims can become addicted to drugs and get the accompanying moodlets and buffs
Tosha Freeman
I dont use discord , but I don't know if you can do a trait like stoner, Junkie and some others that have to do with the Dr@g mod you have
ChanniSim
im getting a glitch when i go to have my sims eat a weed cupcake.... anyone please help.
Lari
mir wird der komplette mod im spiel nicht angezeigt , obwohl ich alles richtig einsortiert habe
latoya james
Hey hey! Thanks for making my fav mod of all time, being an avid 🍃I hope this reaches you, I have one small request if possible: for the gambling mod, would it be possible to allow the casino tables playable without them being on a casino lot? I made a Juke Joint with the new EP and realized I couldn’t use the tables at my bar unless the lot was designated as a casino…sorry for the long message, and again thanks for making this integral mod for the sims
Basemental
Check the translations page on my website: https://basementalcc.com
Basemental
No idea what issue that might be or what it stems from. Head over to the support channel on the discord server for support. Link is at the bottom of the post
Basemental
The prank was only in effect the 1st of April. The rest of the features are regular features and you should definitely download it
Darya Boginskaya
hello! I downloaded last version. How to fix issue with adding texture? for example i cant place sofas, kitchen tables, chairs in my game
Miki
so should i download this or not.... lol
Matteo boselli
Hello, I wanted to ask but the Italian translation of Basemental Drugs is Basemental Gangs are not available updated? Without translations it is difficult to use the mods ... thanks in advance .....
Basemental
Good ideas for sure. Would be good if you use the suggestions channel on the Discord server for your suggestions as it is easier to backtrack suggestions in there
Basemental
Hey! You should head over to the support channel on the Discord server. Easier to troubleshoot your issue over there
Q Patrick
Hi Basemental! :) This is still one of my fave mods and I appreciate all of your hard work! I recently started my gang baack up, and I have the updated versions of everything, but I am noticing that after I change the lot type to the HQ for Costra Simstra (Dive Bar from Gallery) it's not giving me the option to lock the doors for "gang members and special guests" - Can you think of anything that may be the issue? Thanks!
Gama1997
I love Basemental Gangs! I would love to see families incorporated. Like if they approve of gang life or not. Or a mafia spouse role!
Lauren
420 is coming up lol can you make a new weed strain called Purple Buddha?
Basemental
The game looks like it has some potential, but as it stands right now its impossible to tell. So far the company doesn't seem like it caters to modders, and especially not the NSFW kind of modders, but its early days. So time will tell. And it should also be mentioned that porting a mod (into a game without actual modding tools) that's been consistently worked on on a daily basis for 8 years or so would not be as easy as some people might think it is. So, yeah... we'll see. For now I sit comfortably on this fence and keep on making content for TS4 🙂

I love this mod so much and use it all the time. I'm just wondering if you have any plans to make a version for Inzoi as well? I doubt I am the only person that would love it have it in that game too. :D
Kristen Campbell
I’m have an issue where I have gangs in the game but there is no option for it on the phone nor is there a pie menu for gangs
Basemental
Yes. The feature was only in effect the 1st of April. The rest of the changes are real and not pranks
Danielle Underwood
Its not wack, its funny. Sorry you fell for it.
Rokitar
wait so it's no longer april 1st. is this a safe and real update?
Basemental
If you have two similar regions that is an on and off EA bug. Make sure you don’t save your game when it happens. Restart the game and it should be fixed
Lucaz Wahlgren
Hey. stupid question. Is it possible to build on the second nordhaven venue? or its just there as an extra "nothing"? Never cared about the other venues before but now i noticed it xd
Basemental

Kristina Inclan
Can you please stop putting out aprils fools updates. Shit is whack
Nada Samir
the april fools kills me xD
Basemental
Hi Lauren. Mind heading over to Discord to troubleshoot your issue? Way easier over there
Basemental
Are you friendly with the gang members though? If your friendship is at 0 you won't have any other interactions than "plan outfit"
D.j. Riddle
apparently, someone thought it was so hilarious that our tv get stolen on April fools (an infantile holiday) that they made all of our games crash. thanks for that. great job.
D.j. Riddle
yeah, what's up with that childishness? this year you have to update ON April 1 because the stupid prank backfired. dumb.
Lauren Cunningham
I'm having an issue where I've assigned dealer NPCs, but when I click on a sim I know I assigned as a dealer, the only option in the drugs pie menu when you click on it is settings
D.j. Riddle
is there a fucking 'april fools' joke in my basemental drugs? PLEASE DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!! it's crashing my fucking game. childish.
sakeena
I do not update Basemental Mods on April fools day anymore, I will see if this is still up tomorrow
Serial Escapist
I have been having an issue where the only option under "gangs" in the social pie menu is "plan outfit" regardless of what skill level the leader is at (I cheated it to a higher level to see if it would make a difference but it didn't). Any possible conflicts that could be causing this? I updated to the latest version and it's still doing it.
Basemental
Sounds like an issue you need to get in touch with adeepindigo about. First I’ve heard of it
SimsGamer012
Is the basemental drug mod compatible with Adeepindigos mod Educational overhaul? Because I noticed that if I have both of them installed, the joint (the teenager gets from school) vanishes out of the inventory. When I tested the sims without the Educational mod, I noticed that the joint stayed in the inventory when the teenager got back from school.
Basemental
Always nice to stay on top of things and have the latest version of the mod regardless as the new releases also comes with bug fixes
Basemental
There is no cowboy compatibility - There was a bug in the last version though. Please update to the newest one.
frenchussay
Also saw this and burst out laughing
KourtneyRebekkah__
what is with this sloof lirpa thing? everyone says to delete some 'cowboy compatibility" folder, but when i search through my mods i cant find it. my game is literally unplayable.
Lucifeniia
I got Better expection saying that my game can't launch because of Basemental/april_fools.py... If that is a joke this is the funniest shit i never saw xD
Bea LaBree
Hi! I love your mods! quick question even if I don't have the new pack do I still have to download this new one? thank you!
Basemental
It certainly does not conflict with WickedWhims. Please head over to the support channel on the Discord server so we can troubleshoot the issue with you
Jiamin He
I got problem after I put this release into my mod folder, when I put this with wickedwhims together, the game always loading and leading me to the world map. Of course I already removed all other mods, it seems like it conflicts with wickedwhims? Don’t know if I’m the only one who has this issue.
Michelle Brown
Are the plants in planters? There is a current bug that is causing all plants planted in planters to not be watered. You can cheat them with MCC or move them directly into the ground as a work around.
kinglouisthaii
There is an issue where when you try to water cannabis plants the sim starts to do it but then stops and swaffs the air. Any ideas on why this is happening? Just to add context, I am running a dispensary as a small business via the business and hobbies expansion pack. The plants are in a basement. It was working prior to the most recent EA update. But since the update the issue started to occur. Thoughts?
ilikebigboooks
Thank you! Love you xoxo

Add fent and heroin
KenyaBeeSimmin
Be sure all three are updated and there are no duplicates. You can also go to the discord channel and get assistance there as I don't think none of the creators answer support questions on their patreon. Going to discord is so helpful.
Sherita U
The game crashes every time I try to buy something from the convienece store
Bratty Boots
thank you so much for all the hard work.
