During a call, he told me that he started with making a mod that allowed a Sim to snort a line of cocaine that he’d downloaded, and then it just grew from there.įor the past six months, Filip has been working on Basemental, a drug-themed mod for The Sims 4. Although he didn’t have too much programming experience, he wondered if he could modify those objects so that they’d be more than just decorational.
He found drug-themed clutter objects, like lines of cocaine or bongs, but none of them were usable. When he stumbled upon some drug-related custom content, however, he started getting more interested in the game. He’s not a Sims player, and soon discovered that he wouldn’t be able to use the game to simulate different ways to change up his kitchen.
Filip, who only wanted to use his first name, says he first downloaded The Sims 4 in May of last year to try to make a virtual model of his kitchen while he and his wife were making renovations on their house.
