420 is good but cancer aside...

...why aren't modders picking the nits on this? Tobacco is something that might survive (possibly with mutations) if fricking ferns did. Check my topic tags... Cigarettes. Paper. Tobacco. Hand-rolled. for Immersion. and Common Sense.

 

Given 420 and Mary Jane, is it too weird to imagine people doing new cancer sticks in a culture that never got over the use of freaking asbestos? Tobacco harvest, SimSettlements Industrial plot, I'm shocked it hasn't been done yet.

I know there's a mod for smokable cigarettes. You're right, does seem strange that there isn't plantable tobacco. Would generate caps, and maybe happiness, instead of food. There are other crops that could be included in the same category, such as indigo (big cash crop in the south during slavery), sugar cane, cotton.

 

Then again Massachusetts isn't really the climate for most of those, so it's not hard to head canon that it's coming in from settlements further south.

With the climatary change of 210 years and recovering from the War, it can be whatever you decide, really, which neatly excuses most of the environmental mods out there. The appletree (and so much more!) mod will eventually include sugar beets and/or sugarcane before too much longer as it is. (Hell, Agave shipped in from the Mojave Wasteland would thrive...) Dyes as used in clothing mods should come from crops, I agree.

Actually, I'm a little surprised that, given the modern witch hunt against smoking in media, smoking is actually in the game at all. (a bad example for our children, apparently, like sex which you can't watch or do before 18, but watching people getting blown to pieces is ok way before that ... so, watching 2 people beat each other to a pulp and blowing of heads with a lot of blood and gore is ok at 16, but to see those people make love ... no, your young brain can't handle that yet ...

(and still people wonder how this world got so fu...d up ...)

 

Isn't there some kind of group or cult crying out loud about 'Trashcan Carla' smoking all the time? It wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Along these same lines, I was working on a build yesterday and found myself thinking "are there any pretty crops I can plant up against this building so they'd be both useable AND decorative?" Of course the answer is No, but it should be sunflowers.

 

There should be plantable sunflowers, cause they are both pretty and useful, including providing sunflower seeds for all those people trying to kick the tobacco they also can't plant and grow.

You're talking about the religious right, who base their world view on the bronze age mythology of a small desert tribe, edited by Dark Age patriarchists. Logic is not the purpose, control is.

True. Although from a control point of view it IS logical to teach your kids to beat up other "tribes". :geek:

 

Oh, and: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/35907 Both decorative AND usefull (they absorb radiation, for real actually)

Thanks. Honestly that looks like a mess though. When a half dozen posts ask "what does this mod actually do", and the author doesn't answer, there are problems.

 

Sorta looks like it adds quests to run around planting sunflowers. There is also a reference to additional settlements? Hmph. Maybe I can pull it apart, kill the quests, extract the flowers and add them to the crops list. Been meaning to learn how to get buildable assets to show up in the menu anyway.
