Basemental Drugs 7.18.225

NOTE:
Sorry for the back and forth! I got yet another hotfix for you. This one is to correct an exception that shows up in Better Exceptions, and a minor adjustment of the price of Peyote.

Please update to 7.18.225 if you downloaded 7.18.224 or 7.18.223

Alright guys! Thanks for patiently waiting for this one. Finally I can announce this release with a new drug added to the mod, making this the 18th drug in total featured in Basemental Drugs.

This has taken quite a bit of time and effort to work on, not only due to the fact that new drugs must be tied in to a lot of other features of the mod, but also because adding a psychedelic drug that should not feel static and boring when tripping on it takes a lot of work. Not only the programming aspect of the twists and turns of a trip, but also icons and text notifications and so on and so forth. Peyote is a cactus, so the added element of growing and drying it is added to the mod, which has also been a time consuming task.

When I decided that the drying method of Peyote should be on top of a newspaper I realized that I needed to make that newspaper functional as well which added even more time to my work schedule, but I am really happy I did it as I feel stuff like this make the world feel so much more alive.

So with no further ado.. Hope you like this!

NEW DRUG - PEYOTE

In consciousness dwells the wondrous, with it man attains the realm beyond the material, and the Peyote tells us, where to find it. - Antonin Artaud

Where to Find it
You can either hit up your local NPC dealer and purchase Peyote through the "LSD" tab. Peyote is rare compared to some other drugs, so it won't show up 100% of the time. If your dealer doesn't have it that day, keep trying.

Or you can order it through the Dark Web. Either as cured Peyote Crowns ready for consumption or in a Seed Pack ready to be planted to grow your own. Just like buying from the dealer it being available on the Dark Web is not guaranteed, so if you can't find it, keep trying.

How to Grow it
Purchase a Seed Pack of Peyote from the Dark Web as explained above. Open the seed pack and place it on a patch of soil or in a planter pot like you would any other plant in game.

After the plant is fully grown and bearing fruit you can harvest it and either dry your peyote crowns to make it ready for consumption or you can re-plant them to make more plants.

How to Dry it
To dry peyote you first need to purchase a Newspaper you can dry the peyote on. You can get a hold of that in the convenience store. Simply click on your Sims phone > Drugs > Convenience Store. Your Sim will travel to the convenience store and you will get the option to purchase it.

Place the newly bought Newspaper on a surface, like a table or counter top and (assuming you have 15 harvested peyote crowns in your Sims inventory) click on the Newspaper and select "Dry Peyote".

After some time the Peyote crowns will turn from green to brownish yellow and your crowns are ready for consumption. The only thing you need to do now is to fetch the crowns from the newspaper.

Click the Newspaper and select "Fetch Peyote". The dry crowns will show up in your Sims inventory, now ready for consumption.

How to Consume it
Click the dry crowns, either in your Sims inventory or placed on a surface, and select "Consume Peyote".

There is 15 crowns in one pile of dry peyote. Every time you click "Consume Peyote" your Sim will consume 5 of the 15 crowns. So each pile has 3 doses in total.

What this means is that if you consume 1 dose, your Sim will have a very mild trip. If you consume it again the trip will increase in intensity, and if you consume it a third time the trip will be even more intense.

How to Share it
With the dry Peyote being put on a surface, click the pile of dry peyote and select "Share With", assuming there is an eligible Sim nearby to share with.

You will get a picker dialog selecting the Sim you want to share the Peyote with, they will walk over to the pile and consume one dose.

NEWSPAPER

The newspaper added in this release is not only there to dry peyote to make it ready for consumption, it also works as a regular newspaper.

You can get a hold of it in the Convenience Store by clicking on your Sims phone > Drugs > Convenience Store. Your Sim will travel to the convenience store and you will get the option to purchase it.

Click on the newspaper, either in your Sims inventory or from a surface and select "Read Newspaper".

It will first show you the latest relevant news that came with this release. That is the same version of the newspaper notification that showed up when loading up your save. After that initial article it will show you a random article from a wide assortment of articles.

LIFE & DEATH COMPATIBILITY

Since the Life & Death pack reworked the whole deaths and dying concept I have had feedback that Grim hasn't properly reaped Sims dying from overdoses.

This is now fixed along with a whole bunch of other things related to deaths and dying.

You can now select the custom deaths that comes with this mod as Cause of Death's in CAS. All the custom death traits have gotten proper and new icons.

Cancer is a proper viable custom death now and does not show up as death by fire, and Xanax and Adderall fatal OD chances are tweaked to be a tad bit higher than what they used to be.
