Selling Drugs
Your Sim can get busted by the cops when selling cocaine, amphetamine, cannabis or MDMA. When you are at level 1 in one of those Dealing Skills the chance of getting busted is tuned relatively high – the higher your level, the lower chance of getting busted.

When your Sim gets busted a cop will show up, walk over to your Sim, lecture him or her a bit, flaunt some handcuffs and they will walk off. Your Sim will disappear into jail, this is a rabbit hole event and you will not be able to follow him or her to jail.

When your Sim is released from jail all of the items in your Sims inventory has been confiscated by the police. This basically means that you need to be careful with having too much drugs on your person if you are afraid of getting busted. Storage chests* are your friends from now on.

After your Sim is busted, they will get a notification that a trial is coming up. Follow the notification instructions to prepare for the incoming trial.

For the most part the police busts will happen off your Sims home lot.

If you own the Get Famous Expansion Pack you will get a large reputation loss if you get busted by the cops.

Using Drugs
If your Sim is using cocaine, amphetamine or MDMA outside their home lot there is now a small percentage chance that the police will show up, confiscate his or her belongings and throw the Sim in jail for some time.

* Storage Chests can be found in build/buy mode

 

Home Busts

Whenever your Sim sells a small amount of any drug (ziplock bags, individual pills and so on) you are building up a risk potential of cops visiting your house. Keep on selling enough non-stop and they will definitely show up on your Sims doorstep (or wherever your Sim may be at the time). If you add in cooldown periods before selling more, the risk potential of cops showing up will decrease. If you go overboard and have your Sim sell to a boatload of customers, the potential will not have time to decrease, and the cops will show up.

There are however ways to keep on selling without adding in cooldown periods, option one is bribing the police, and option two is laundering your money.

Bribes

You can bribe the police, either by reaching level 10 of the Cocaine Dealing skill level, or through your Right Hand Man with Basemental Gangs.

Once you perform this action it will increase your Sims relationship with corrupt cops. The relationship will decay over time, unless you nurture it with more bribes. You can only bribe the cops every 3 days.

Corrupt Cops

Once you have established a working relationship with your Sim and the corrupt cops by bribing them on the regular, not only does your Sim have a decreased chance of police busts, but also an increased chance of the corrupt cops calling your Sim up and informing them if there is an incoming SWAT raid. If this happens it will trigger a “Stash The Drugs” mini game before the SWAT pops by.
