I would like a Smoking Mod - Can it be done?
jolrei:
Smoking should increase fun, counteract the "stressed out" moodlet, or something, but have risk associated. It should be more than just animation to look at, or why would I waste my time getting sims to do it. There should be a positive purpose, and a possible negative effect.
It could simply increase the chance of burning to death. Sims smoking would have some chance of spontaneously bursting into flames.
In this scenario, my sim, coming out of a "work hard" period at work, with a lot of stress and a bad mood, could have a smoke which would relieve his stress. However, he might also die. This would be the chance you take as a player. If you want to kill the sim, you just get him to chainsmoke. This could operate on the same principles as TJ's increased chance of alien abduction mod for TS2. Thus, death would not happen every time a sim smoked, but often enough to be lulzy.
It could also be made a spontaneous action for townies, which would help in population control. On the other hand, if it advertised too highly, one would risk turning one's hood into the 1950s (when EVERYONE smoked).
Build your own James Dean sim and watch him burn.
I never quite see why the sims world should emulate the real world too much. If I wanted the real world, I'd stay there.

Agreed! I remember the TS2 mod that gave female sims periods. Wtf?
J. M. Pescado:
If by "periods", you mean "diapers were dropped all the floor, and sims could stomp pee out of them". That was just disturbing and wrong.
Simius:
Smoking should also add 4 hours to your fatigue meter... So you can't work out as long. (But it shouldn't stack... so smoking 2 cigarettes doesn't make you fatigued all of a sudden).
wendylady:
side note from ex smoker :: add less hunger, as a lot of people smoke instead of munchies on food.
