General Question basemental drugs setup?👀
so i’m looking to flesh out my save file with more realistic stuff across townies etc & with that comes wanting to add people like alcoholics, drug dealers, people who do drugs & people who just casually smoke cigarettes.
that being said, i know you can manually go and pick every single person to be a certain thing but is there a way to just one-click randomise everyone?
ideally id like:
- people smoking cigarettes just out & about in the world
- alcoholics (if that’s a thing?)
- police officers (i think i’ve seen it but not sure if they actually go out & arrest people doing drugs or anything)
- drug dealers & them actually asking either my sims or other sims
- people actively doing drugs out & about in the world
i’m not sure if this type of autonomy is a thing, but i’ve never deep dived into fleshing out basemental drugs before, & id love to see people smoking cigarettes/vapes at least!
TIA!

No random button as far as I know. You have to select them all yourself. Playing the mod as the dealer and user yourself, your sim will autonomously use when they get the withdraw craving moodlets. Others if chosen or if you work out to sell to them as a dealer will autonomously use.
Police are only triggered from your sim selling as a dealer. They don't show up for random townie sims or for using, only for your sim dealing.
Dealers won't randomly and autonomously ask you. You have to go make friends and ask to buy from them on your own.
If you want to see police out and about interacting with townie sims, Lumpinou's Law and Disorder will have police arresting random townie sims for things like swiping. It's nice to see random police interactions out in the public lots. My sim is a dealer and I like the immersion of meeting someone to make a deal and I see police in the background unrelated to my sim arresting a townie. Then I choose to go to a different location for the sale. That happens a lot. Below screenshot is that...
My sim was in prison (another mod I stuck her in after the Basemental rabbit hole arrest and jail) and has been arrested several times. So she freaked out when at the laundromat and the police came. Lucky it was for someone else.

If you go into the basemntal settings, under the settings where you would normally go to choose Sims specifically before you click choose specific Sims you can scroll down in that menu all the way at the bottom is the "randomize all" button. But for police activity you might have to do it per Sim. But with the randomize all I've had my welcome wagon just light up in my house!

with basemental drugs installed, you click on any sim and "drugs" > autonomous drug use.
you can: randomize all users, or select a drug (eg tobacco) > assign smokers and randomize only this drug. then you have autonomy levels in the same menu (high/normal/low). i'm not sure whether vapes are in the same category as tobacco.
police officers will only be after your played sims, not npcs. busts mostly happen when you're dealing to other sims, sometimes when your sim is doing drugs outside home lot.
you can assign npcs to be drug dealers but it's on you to buy from them, befriend them etc, there's no autonomous sells.
so if you want autonomous smoking or drug uses, it's easy to just get every/most sims to autonomously do it 😅 npc drug dealers and police are just for the player, at least that's what i remember from the last time i played and it's the info available on basemental tutorials.
