28-Sept Update: Added Brazilian Portuguese translations (thank you @cs2te!). Fixed an issue where there was no exit to the Sell Fake ID interaction. For those that have the Religion mod, you don't need a separate RM specific version, just download/redownload the main Overhaul package.
3-Sep Update: Thanks to ProtectusCZ over at MTS who let me know about a string issue with the vape flavors. That's been fixed so the flavors should not show up as blank when you are filling/refilling the cartridge. Also the smoking durations should now be tunable so you can adjust them in Retuner.
Czech version now available thanks to ProtectusCZ
This update adds new features like vaping as well as more delinquency options for your teens by way of fake IDs.
Please read the full instructions after the cut before downloading.

I think that's it. Enjoy ruining your Sims' health and well-being. If you run into any issues, please let me know.
What does it do:
Everything my previous mod did
Sims can now sit and chat with others while smoking
I updated the way addiction works in the game. Previously it was just based on a random number of times smoked but now it's more nuanced and based on how often you smoke and certain trait and lifestyle factors (for example, if you have other smokers in your household, you're more likely to get a smoking habit)
Cigarettes and smoking items can now ONLY be purchased in a special section at the grocery store by YAs and above. You will see a new interaction in the store RH called "Shop for Cigarettes". Teens can get around this by using a fake ID.
Fake IDs
Teens can purchase fake IDs from:
Any common criminal (Sim in the criminal career Level 4 or below)
Any teen that has a fake ID
You can offer a price and based on your offer, the dealer will either accept or reject.
Rebellious, Computer Whiz or teens with high Rebel Influence Skill can also buy fake IDs online. The underground online market for IDs moves very quickly so prices change every time you check but will never go higher than §500 or lower than §50. Once you purchase, the ID will be mailed to your home the next day.
HOWEVER, you need to make sure you get to the package first. If your parent gets the package and opens it, then all teens in the house will get in trouble. The one who ordered the fake will get a special moodlet that will allow them 24 hours to confess to doing it. If they confess to their sibling(s), the sibling will either forgive and agree to keep quiet or they will get mad and have the opportunity to snitch to a parent. If the wrongdoer confesses to a parent, it will exonerate the other teens but also potentially get them into bigger trouble with both their parents and their siblings.
Fake IDs aren’t foolproof. If you use it in the store, there’s a chance you will get busted and your fake ID will be confiscated. The chance is based on how young your teen is and the quality of the fake ID. Fake ID quality is determined when you purchase, based on the price you paid so you may want to think twice before jumping on that §60 fake.
Vaping
Sims can now vape, vaping pens can be found where you buy cigarettes.
Vaping pens cost §300 with a cartridge that needs to be filled before you can use and then after every 10 uses. You can buy a regular cartridge or a flavored one and the costs are varied but are all between §200-§300. (I know, it's an expensive habit.)
Vaping is not as unhealthy as smoking regular cigarettes, is less addictive and doesn't leave your Sim with a smoke smell.
For teens, vaping will still get them in trouble if they are caught by a parent doing it.
Known Issues:
There are no IK targets on the sitting animations (they kept floating above the chairs when I added them) so teens will sink a little into the chair because they're smaller than adults.
Okay, last thing from me for this year and it's fitting that it's mostly with my Religion mod which was my very first Tumblr post! Happy Holidays everyone!! 🤗🎆🎇
Religion Mod (Peteran):
I fixed the issue where Sims keep getting up every 5 seconds during sermons. (so dumb, I had changed from an "&&" to an "||" at some point for some unknown reason which was the issue) They will now stay seated and listen until the sermon is over barring any motive distress.
Added speech bubbles for sermons and other interactions
Added advertising to the sermon tunings so priests will autonomously use it (if you don't want that, use the original ITUN files in my previous version)
Sims can now give Holiday Sermons (they're just regular sermons but they have a higher attraction rate for Sims to autonomously listen and can only be done during Snowflake Day and Love Day)
Sermons also now give a small job performance increase
Added skill stats for the Peteran Skill (the last two are related to features not active yet in the mod so you won't see new interactions but I've loaded them in now since I'm testing it in my game) and two skill opportunities. See image below.
Fixed the issue where the "Gossip about Churchgoer" interaction was available all the time (it's only supposed to be available after going to church)

Smoking Mod :
Added the missing string for the vape flavors. Thanks to the anon who let me know about it.
I also believe I've finally (finally! FINALLY!) fixed the issue of the broadcaster constantly spitting null value exceptions when teens smoke outside in front of a punishable adult.
This is a small update for my Religion mod specifically for the Omiscan religion.
So you probably don't think of bongs when you think of religion but the use of psychedelic substances was a very common practice in ancient religions as people used to use them to commune with spirits and higher powers. As the Omiscan religion is based on ancient MesoAmerican and West African animist religions, it fits right in and makes for some fun gameplay.
If you play as an Omiscan, then you know that there's a special unlock you get for maxing out the religion which is a psychedelic herb called Banisteria. It's based on ayahuasca. Sims eat it and gain temporary "enlightenment" or they may have a negative reaction to it.
It's always been the plan to make a drinkable tea version (which is how you normally take ayahuasca) but while I was doing the vape pen, I added the option to smoke banisteria as well for my freewheeling free-lovin Omiscans.
Since the Omiscan religion is all about communing with others and the spirits, I wanted the smoking (and eventually drinking) to be a shared experience but the idea of sharing a vape seemed gross to me (do people do that IRL?). So I created a bong which is, in theory, just as gross, but at least that's what you normally do with bongs so I can let that slide.
Requirements: You need the updated banisteria and Peteran (that's where the buff effects are) files and my Smoking mod here to use this and University for the herb effects. If you are downloading the religion mod for the first time, please read through the documents and the original post first.
Credits: The bong is an edited conversion from Chisami's Highlife set. Sadly their blog is no longer active but you can still find their stuff on a graveyard site. You may be able to use other bongs but I shorted this one to fit the animation so you'll have to trial and error to see which other cc bongs will work.
Download after instructions after the cut
Banisteria is a sacred herb to the followers of the Omiscan religion so it's only available to those who have mastered the religion. It cannot be bought or acquired any other way (unless you use a cheat).
However globalization ruins everything and turns it into a commodity so now it's become cool to smoke Banisteria even if you're not Omiscan.
Still only Omiscans have a good understanding of how to handle the herb and so they have a lower chance of having a bad trip. Chance of a bad trip is 40% (tunable) if you don't have an Omiscan skill level 3 or higher.
Sims can sell banisteria at the smoke shop which yields a higher price than if you were to sell it through your inventory. (How much more you get is based on the quality of the herb.)
I've also updated the herb effects for banisteria so having a bad trip is bit more "psychedelic". Sims that are tripping will hear and see things only they can hear and see.
Because banisteria is a mind altering substance, pregnant Sims should not smoke it but no one's stopping you from doing so. It will cause harm to the pregnancy though.
Other Features:
This adds two additional features to the vape pen
Add Banisteria: You will need at least 4 banisteria herbs in your inventory to fill the vape pen. Note: this amount is tunable in Retuner
Smoke Banisteria: self explanatory
Bongs/Waterpipes
You can purchase from the smoke shop at the grocery store where you get cigarettes, vapes, etc.
Bongs cost 350 and require 6 banisteria herbs to fill. Also tunable.
Sims with a bong in their inventory can also smoke with a friend. Just select someone you have 40+ relationship with and select "Smoke with X". They may accept or refuse based on their traits or current buffs.
Omiscan teens won't get in trouble for smoking banisteria because it's part of their culture.

hey..i hope ur doing good i really love ur mods i wish if u can do a mod for renting and landing stuff and i can do apartments and hotels etc etc like the sims 2 open for business and theres check in and check out animation and sims 4 ep i liked some sutff that they had omg it will be so fun if u add from sims 2 bussines stuff and renting stuff and landing and mixed with sims 4 stuff it will works for sims 3 cuz sims 3 its open world and it will works perfectly with business&renting&lands
Thanks! Also wut??? No sure what you're saying but I'm vibing off your enthusiasm! If you're asking about an apartment mod like the new TS4 ep, unfortunately I don't think that's possible in TS3 based on the game design that doesn't allow for multi-household lots. Ani has an apartment mod but it's still sims in the same household. We already have hotels from IP. As for rent... 👀
I checked and all the strings are there and referenced in the stbls. Can yo let me know where you're seeing blank strings?
You need the laundry pods on the lot in order to use the machine. If you don't have them present, the interaction will just cancel out of your queue once selected.
i am having an issue with the smoking mod, whenever my teen uses the computer to buy a fake id he always resets. would you know the reason ?
These all sound like different versions of the same issue which is where you are missing an object that is required for the interaction to take place. So I'd say to go back and check to make sure you have all the objects (cigarette packs, ID, mail package, etc) installed.
Hi. Do you still working on smoking mod? I just saw posts with vape pen and got curious if this project still active.
It's technically done. I've been playing it in my game for a while now, I just haven't gotten around to releasing it. Sometimes even the smallest things (photos, instructions, stbls) can seem like a huge effort when you're just not in the mood. But I'll definitely share the update soon this year!
TIL that not everyone assumes the baby bottle in-game IS formula. I guess I was alone in that! Also if it's not formula, what is it supposed to be? Just regular (cow's?) milk? imma need a minute to wrap my head around this 🤯
Thanks for your inputs! I think I have the obgym module sorted in terms of features to add (including breastfeeding) but I don't want to stray too far away from the medical doctor/illness side of things so I'm not going too much into other aspects of pregnancy. Pandasama's overhaul mod is amazing and super comprehensive but I don't want to give people the impression that I'm going to put in that much work and detail. cuz mama ain't got the time or attention span
