Free to Play Arcade Machines
arcade.jpg - width=800 height=450
So this mod completely gets rid of that feature and makes the arcade machines cost zero Simoleans to play. The amount of Simoleans the arcade machines charge is a tunable value and this mod simply sets that value to zero.
Note on Installing
Putting this mod in your Downloads folder does not make the game think the Maxis arcade machines are custom content.
Known Issue
You will still hear the paying Simoleans sound effect while your sim plays the arcade machines. This is because the game is still trying to charge your sim for playing, but the game is charging zero Simoleans.
Custom Arcade Machines
This mod only affects the Maxis arcade machines, so you will need to manually edit any custom ones you have in SimPe. What you need to do is select the Bcon called Tuning - Play, select the value labeled Cost, and then changed the value from a one to a zero.

About Me
I go by the username Secondhand Feraligatr everywhere else online — just a heads-up in case you see me on another platform.
Frankly, despite what my username suggests, I'm not really into Pokémon anymore. I'm all Helluva Boss these days. But this username is kinda my brand now, so whatever.
Also, please please please remember that getting help from a mod creator is a privilege, not a right.
I do try to offer support when I can, but I’m not a 24/7 help desk. I might take a while to reply, or I may not reply at all.
Shameless plug:
I've posted a program on GitHub that fixes some common issues with The Sims 2 Legacy Collection.
Check it out here:
