Police & the Counterfiting Machine

>:(
So, I've recently started to get rid of my money trees. I have all kinds of performance problems with my game, never able to narrow it down to just one factor. I read somewhere that more than 1 or 2 money trees can cause problems with lots. Sniff, I've got plenty of lots with 5. (I have a fair number of fortune Sims and I need the trees to satisfy wants and to try for their LTWs of $100K - and I don't use money cheats.)
Okay, fine. Getting rid of money trees and replacing them with the counterfit machine. Hate this because the money trees look nice in the yard and the counterfit machine is butt ugly, but okay fine.
Learned the hard way about fires and counterfit machines. ::) I can deal with this, just don't let them run the machine excessively.
All of a sudden, now the police seem to be showing up a lot. I have two Sims crying over the bad memory from yesterday. The one guy had just gotten demoted over a bad chance card (fricking seaport project!!), and I was trying to cheer him up with some Simoleans. Now he's got two things to cry about.
So, what are the odds of the police showing up? I've used the machine plenty and now all of a sudden...am I just in a bad patch of luck? I like running some risks in the game, but I can't have my Sims crying all the time.
(P.S. I'm relatively new to Uni and haven't installed NL, which is why I'm asking questions that most of you guys settled 6 months ago.)
dusty:
Doesn't it depend on the sim's aspiration? Or am I remembering that wrong? I haven't used that machine a lot.
Velax:
Well, it's an Aspiration reward, so it probably has more chance of failure if you're not gold.
SciBirg:
I have only used it once, and I stopped using it because of the police having a permanent coffee break in my house. ::)
I think perhaps Velax is right that it depends on your aspiration level. Will try that next time.
DrBeast:
Yup...aspiration level counts. Don't use below gold (permaplats can just stay home and work on this...who needs jobs?). I've yet to find out when it bursts into flames though.
