[XCL] [0.23] Bad Habits

---

What is this mod?
This is just a small immersion mod that adds smoking (both cigarettes and weed) to the game. Cigarettes can be purchased at machines at the mall, and bar. Weed can be purchased from the new dealer character at the bar (who always appears on Fridays, but has a chance to show up every day). I think there's enough here that you can roleplay a smoker, hah. Also, befriend a wholesome stoner who'll sell you weed, hah.

Alpha/beta release:
Not fully done, but the basics are down, and I think it's running quite well (bug free 🤞), so is ready for feedback and stuff!

Currently able to:

• Smoke cigarettes at various outdoor locations (and some indoor),
  • Basic addiction system (the more you smoke, the more you need to smoke)
  • Smoking cigarettes can be done after sex, and can be hit on while smoking.
  • Smoking images for characters: alina, jade, jia, kayley, kendra, lauren, littleblonde, liya, madisonivy, mia, rae, riley, scarlit, skylar vox. Generic images used for others and male characters.
     
• Smoke weed at home, the beach, and the dealer's house.
  • Simple "high" meter. Smoke the right amount, good effects. Smoke too much, worse effects.
    • Basically just an alternative alcohol system right now (heavily based on the existing one, haha).
  • Dealer has scenes and stuff set up to hang out and smoke and do other stuff, hah.
    • (Yes, you may tell from the size of the file, there seems to be a hidden bar girl I'm not telling you about, hah).
       

Integration is currently fairly basic, e. g.: no real reaction from others on your smoking yet.

 

Character support (additional images and such) for: 

• All base characters
• Playable characters:
  • Alexa
  • Casey
  • Kayley
  • Lauren
  • Littleblonde

 

Will be working on this slowly over time, so let me know (preferably on the XCL discord) of any features you'd want to see! 

Installation:
Open the mod loader, click add mods, select this mod, load mods, done!

 

Compatibility:

(If you have any requests for mods to make compatible, let me know, and I'll do it if it's easy or really makes sense, hah).

• Harder Exits Mod (by request)
  • Now counts smoking as a $time_event compatible with this mod.

Looking good!

[Lazyby]

Love how this looks.  Any chance you could update it so that smoking advances time in some way [e.g. (set:$time_events to it + (a:"loiter")) ]?  Would make another mod I use called even harder exits way better!

 Thanks! Yeah, I'll be uploading a new version today or tomorrow with some fixes, and I'm adding integration with that mod (as it's easy enough to do, hah)!

Was just going to add what you suggested, but now I'm adding "smoke" as a time_event, and will probably do something with that too. Probably limit the number of times you can do it without getting a sick debuff or something, hah. 

Edit: I just checked, and I've already added a smoke time_events thing, but not done anything with it yet, hah. So if you're eager, just add a (count: blah) check to HEM options.

It may be a mod conflict but when I smoke at the beach, it moves me directly to home at night.

Pretty sure that's an old bug I fixed in the last update! Let me know if the newest version doesn't fix it!

Does it affect dice rolls, when you are addicted to smoking and haven't smoked recently?

Not directly, but the withdrawal mood affects your stats, so that will affect the rolls.

wheres the dealer located at?

It must be that. My results at work have been horrible, always getting low dice rolls (never higher than 25). Is there a way to smoke at work? Or in the morning before going to work?

In the bar, random chance to appear, except on Friday when they'll always be there!

Yeah, should be able to smoke from the break room, is that not working? Also, I forgot to add smoking into the chores, hah. Will do that soon!

seems like there is an issue where Callum is getting into the list of persons at the bar as a girl? 

 

 

The conversation is also messed up afterwards with apparently "callum" being not found in the list of girl names. This happens on 22.0 and 22.2 maybe its some interaction with another mod.

Thanks for letting me know. Yeah, someone on the discord mentioned Spike Fun causing issues with the dealer, so it might be that?

Yes, I have spike fun installed - so that might be it.

On a Val Steele run at the club and went for a smoke just to see what that lead to and guy comes to bum one, goes to the introduction screen, pick the most friendly option, goes to negotiation screen - yes option, and the reply screen from him gets endlessly reloaded with the follow option button.

Thanks for letting me know! I won't be able to work on it for a while, but I'll look into it when I can!
