Police & the Counterfiting Machine
skandelouslala:
I've had it burst into flames/police pay a visit even in platinum..it seems random..but your chances are way better in platinum. Anything below gold will generally result in failure like all aspiration rewards. Bursting into flames is usually caused by it running too long.
Velax:
Yeah, I've had it burst into flames several times when my perma-plat was using it. Haven't had the police come though, as far as I remember.
DrBeast:
It's a given that it'll catch fire under prolonged use. I just have to time it so we can know approximately how long it's safe to use. Never been busted when in plat mode though. That must have been an extreme streak of bad luck for you skandelous.
Motoki:
If you have University and no NL multiple money trees do cause crashes for some people. I used to get them and had to stop using them. You can get away with one, but don't try any more than that. The good news is that NL seemed to fix the problem for me. I'm not sure if the University patch does or not though.
I've had the police come when using it but rarely so it may be aspiration related as was said since I rarely have my sims use it below gold. I do have the fires and make sure I have an alarm or sprinkler near it but as you said, stopping to get the cash and restarting after a bit does prevent this.
Hook:
When I played with the money machine, I had my Sim turn the crank for an hour, then stop and collect the Simoleons. Repeat as necessary.
I never had a fire unless I let 'em run the machine for at least 2 hours, and only had the cops come once after I'd let them work the machine for at least 2 hours, altho I didn't time it when the cops came.
As always, your mileage may vary. :D
