Basemental Drugs 2.02.75

Finally all seems to be working and in place. I still want to add some bits and pieces to this, but the core functionality is in place now, making it a whole lot easier for me to add in related functionalities and tweak the stuff that's already been implemented.

How it works
Get In The Club
To get into the VIP club as a drug dealer, you can choose the "Explain Supply Need" interaction with the VIP bouncer. You can find the interaction alongside the other Bouncer Interactions for trying to get into the club.
If you are a mid to high level dealer you have a high chance of pulling this off.
Get Acquainted with Celebrities
Getting to know the celebrities can be a daunting task. Particularly introducing yourself to them, as all Sims seem to be very easily starstruck, apparently.
As long as you are a mid to high level dealer, introducing yourself to the celebrities is way easier. The initial thought is that the celebrities knows who's who and are eager to get their hands on some drugs, so you have a much higher success rate in terms of introduction.
Note: There is no 100% guarantee that your Sim will manage to pull of an introduction to a celebrity Sim, but it is extremely likely. If it doesn't work the first time around, wait it out a bit and try again.
It is a bit harder to jump straight into chatting about drugs with them, though, so my advice is to use quite a few "Friendly" social interactions to begin with before even going into the subject of drugs. It is not impossibly hard by any means, but it is harder than performing these interactions with "regular mortals".
Celebrity Clients
Once you have managed to "Seal the Deal" with a celebrity, you will get some fame points. The higher level of the celebrity the more fame points you will get, meaning you need fewer Global Superstars on your client list than Noticeable Newcomers to get to rank 1 on the fame ladder.
To check who's on your Celebrity Client List, click on your active dealer Sim, go to "Customer Lists" and select "Celebrity Clients". These clients are not like regular clients in a couple of ways, first of all, they won't call and invite themselves over to your place to buy drugs, they will rather invite you over to their homes (assuming they actually own a home in your world and aren't homeless game generated celebrities).
They will not call you quite as frequently as regular customers, but every celebrity above rank 3 will also be able to buy Cocaine Bricks or Speed Packages (assuming your Cocaine or Amphetamine Dealing Sim is above level 3 in either of those two dealing skills).
They can only buy large quantities once per week.
Fame and Reputation
Once you have managed to get to Fame Level 1, I strongly suggest you going for the middle branch of the fame ladder, which is really the only one that makes sense for a drug dealer, as this is all about networking and making connections.
Once you are on level 1, you can earn fame simply by socializing with celebrities. I'd suggest you use this feature to climb up to rank 3 of the fame ladder. Once you are a Level 3 celebrity, reputation will also start factoring into the equation of how the general public perceives you.
Here is a rundown on the various interactions that gives good or bad rep implemented so far:
Good Rep
Huge Gain
Finish Rehab
Large Gain
Bribe the Police
Go to Rehab
Small Gain
Laundering Money
Tiny Gain
Sharing Weed
Sharing Shrooms
Sharing MDMA (to clubbers)
Sharing Cocaine (to clubbers)
Sharing Amphetamine (to clubbers)
Bad Rep
Huge Loss
Getting Raided
Large Loss
Getting Busted
Medium Loss
Exchanging sex for drugs
Small Loss
Sharing Cocaine (to addicts)
Sharing Amphetamine (to addicts)
Tiny Loss
Too many witnesses when your Sim is dealing
Sharing MDMA (to non-clubbers)
Sharing Cocaine (to non-clubbers)
Sharing Amphetamine (to non-clubbers)
There are apparently a few other ways to get good rep if you want to keep up appearances and be perceived as a decent citizen in the eyes of the public. Like donating to charities and so on and so forth. I haven't actually tried these out myself, but it should be a thing with Get Famous.
