BetterFiends

BetterFiends is a mod for Schedule I to improve on the fiending behavior already present in the game (and rarely used). This mod will give a chance to each NPC, when consuming one of your products, to become a fiend based on their addiction level and the addictiveness of the product. Along with that, they will only fiend for the product that they consumed at the time (the name of the product is in the request the give you). If you deny the request or give them the wrong product, they will attack you. There is also a slim chance that they will become a "narc" and call the cops on you.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
