Addicts Anonymous
Fall seven times, stand up eight. – Japanese proverb
What Is It?

Addicts Anonymous is a combination of the real life counterparts Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous and their 12 step models. In the mod it is a 10 step model that is based on the aforementioned 12 step models.

How To Join

Once a Sim has become sober from any serious drug or alcohol addiction they will get a call from someone in AA letting them know that they are welcome to attend a meeting.

To attend a meeting, go to the Drugs tab on your relevant Sim’s phone and select Attend AA Meeting. Meetings are available on weekdays from 6PM to 10PM. The meeting is a rabbithole event.

Once your Sim has attended a meeting they are on Step 1 of the program. Read the notifications that come with each level up to see what is needed to progress to the next step of the program. It can vary from attending meetings, calling your sponsor, making amends with Sims your Sim have hurt through their past behavior to other things.

Craving Mood

There’s a new Mood that comes with being in recovery that gives former addicts a craving to do the drug they used to be addicted to.

The craving can show up at any time, but there are ways to get rid of it. Through AA interactions or other means. Working out and woohoo interactions will get rid of the mood for you, so will calling your sponsor for a chat, attending meetings or meeting your sponsor to get help with the 10 step program. Spiritual Meditation which is acquired at step 9 will also get rid of the mood for you.

The chance of getting the craving mood gets reduced the higher up in the 10 step program your Sim is at. A Sim that has maxed out the 10 Step Program skill will rarely be craving any drugs.

Sponsors and Sponsees

Once your Sim reaches step 2 of the 10 step program they will get a Sponsor through the program. Your Sim can now call their Sponsor to chat if they get a craving mood, or meet up with them to get help to work through the step they are on.

This meeting is a rabbithole event and some of the levels require you to do this instead of attending meetings in order to level up to the next step.

Once your Sim reaches level 9 they will get a sponsee as well. Meaning your Sim will now become a sponsor for another Sim. This Sim can call your Sim every now and then when they are struggling with their addiction. This is an anonymous Sim and not really assigned to anyone in your game world in case you don’t have other Sims in your game world that are actual AA members.

You can however change your sponsee to a real Sim by clicking on another Sim that is an AA member, go to Friendly > Activities >  Become Sponsor For

Once your Sim is a sponsor for another Sim you can click on them and help them through their problems with social interactions, and your Sims sponsee can click on your Sim and get help with working through their issues. Performing these interactions will build towards your Sims current skill level in the 10 step program.

You can mute sponsee calls by clicking on your Sims phone > Drugs > Mute Sponsee Calls
