@Daniel_USA
The net happiness gained when smoking a cigar with this patch is the same as it was originally in VBE, just reflavored to focus on the experience of it. The appeal of cigars (apart from their popular perception as expensive luxury items) is their flavor rather than the nicotine content. You'll get way stronger highs generally when smoking a cigarette than most cigars because you're not supposed to inhale cigar smoke (though granted there'll still be some absorption of nicotine but not nearly as saturated). That's also why cigars are usually significantly less addictive than cigarettes.

shouldn't this have a +# to happiness since you are smoking hand rolled primo instead of a cigarette?
also the leaves used for cigars have to be higher quality than cigarettes and that leads to a better smoke and nicotine high.
cigars usually get the best leaves and cigarettes are made by crushing all the left overs.

This is a pure XML mod so it should work fine on 1.6, I've updated the version compatibility, but do let me know if you find any issues!

1.6 pls =D

1.6 please :)

could you also please change the weight of cigarettes and cigars, im tired of 20 cigs hogging up 1kg in my pawn's backpack

I don't smoke at all, but all the points mentioned above still weirded me out. Glad to see I'm not alone in this, and that someone who knows how did something about it.

I wasn't sure about this but "it's not even why people smoke them" kind of sold me. Your motives are pure and just.

Thanks for the update!

Hey can you add a 1.4 tag?

Good stuff.

It's the little things that make all the difference. Wonderful work, friend.

can you adjust the price too? maybe you already did and i cant tell but i dont think the base price should be 60

@starlight glimmer

I've used patch operations to slightly reword some descriptions so they would still be translated, just according to the original text in VBE. Besides that I have added a few new things, that being the "Smoked cigar" mood effect and the single cigarette and cigar recipes, which would not be translated unless someone wanted to translate them.

I wonder if it would be possible to take advantage of the fruits and other plants added by other VE mods to create flavored cigars, perhaps with additional mood boosts and hediffs?

Hello, author. Have you added a new text? In other words, does this extended mod need additional translation

Are the cigarettes still pool noodles?

I always thought the gold requirement was pretty stupid since gold is worth so much and any sane person would not be smoking the damn label anyway.

@Adronius I would for sure grab an addon like that for sure.

Another idea might be the wrapper being a stuffable addition that adds a small buff, but then that could make for doubles of some of the types.

If you do work on it, take your time and don't feel rushed at all.

Yay

@Sarelth I actually considered that myself, giving quality tiers to cigars, and I think flavored cigars (and cigarettes) aren't actually a terrible idea, very doable in fact. Not promising anything because I think this patch already does everything I want it to (and I'm very inexperienced with modding so I could be biting off more than I can chew), but I also didn't expect people to actually notice and pick it up, so I may develop this into a full on expansion for VBE smokes at some point.

Maybe add one with a gold wrap that gives a longer lasting mood, or add gold wrap too the idea of Sarelth and add wraps to higher quality cigars

Now we just need Flavoured cigars and Quality (awful to legendary) cigars. Wonder if that is doable?

same. hmm, u could make wrapped cigars another item, but i dont rlly need it :D

Thank you.

Yeah, I also always though that this gold is a bit too much. Good idea!
