We know that drug traffickers make a lot of money from Breaking Bad and other TV series at the latest. The virtual drug trade in The Sims 4 (buy on Amazon *)
for a respectable monthly salary of approx $ 6,000 is new. The colleagues from Kotaku report today about a mod creator of drugs, drug trafficking, consumption ect. Created for The Sims 4 and earned well in the process.
The Sims 4 - Sims astray
The Sims 4 inherently offers a tremendous amount of options for your Sims, from astronaut up to vampire almost anything is possible. But so far not drugs. Some relevant items were available, such as a cocaine line or a bong. But none of that was usable for your virtual residents. As the modder Filip Stumbled upon this fact, the creative spirit started to create mods with which, for example, the cocaine line was "sniffable" for the residents. This first mod was then gradually expanded with further functions.
Meanwhile works Filip for 6 months on the "Basemental“Mod, it contains 4 different drugs - cocaine, MDMA, amphetamines and weed.
The Sims can buy, sell, and use the drugs. To do this, the player only needs to have a Sim with drug dealer Create property and move into the neighborhood. The other Sims can then obtain and use the drugs from here or via the Dark Web. They experience the ups and downs of consumption, all negative consequences such as illness, overdoses and death, prison are included in the game. With another mod (WhickedWhims: A kind of sex mod) even prostitution for drugs is possible. So the whole mod doesn't offer drug glorification, but rather more realism.
Of course, always provided you want to expose your Sims residents to such opportunities.

Filip now has one Patreon side Online, where registered users regularly get the latest updates. The modder earns more than $ 6,000 per month from the monthly fee. The Patreon supporters always come up with new ideas for additional functions such as a career as a drug baron etc.
Too much realism?
Like other mods, there is of course criticism and negative feedback from the rest of the community. Comments that there are enough problems in the world from drugs are the order of the day. But such discussions have already existed with other borderline mods like the Extreme Violence or Prostitution Mod, just like the various sex mods, these are controversial.
On the other hand, that's the plus point of mods: They are voluntary. Nobody is forced to install such optional content. However, the story of shows that there is enough demand for such mods Filip clear.
