Can a Sim die from using the Brain Enhancement Machine?

I heard scuttlebutt that says that you can get singed from a Brain Enhancement Machine, but can your Sim die from using the Brain Enhancement machine (if you have Version 1 - the cobbled together one from with the car battery).

The reason being is that in the MRCC (Mushroom Cloud Chronicles) Apoca-Fic, I have a military structure and part of that structure is still the UCMJ. And the articles under the UCMJ that cover capital punishment still govern the bunker. During the course of the administering of sentence it's hoped that the machine will grant mercy and take care of the offending trait that caused the Sim to be sentenced to death, but evidently there's the chance that the sim will be singed.

How likely is the Brain Enhancement Machine to deliver a fatal electrocution if the Sim is singed again from the machine?

    I don't think so. If your sim is singed, the game won't let you use it. But if you do manage to make your sim use it while singed, they can die...
  • Well...I guess the second alternative method under federal law (at least in this game is firing squad).
  • Sims cannot die from just normal (non-singed) use of the Study Brain option. University technology majors use that object repeatedly during class activity (and use the Study Brain option). They won't even get singed from that option. The Study Brain option on either version is my go-to for raising Nerd influence. I've never seen that option backfire in any way.

    The other options like Personality Programing or Genius IQ or perhaps the Brain Enhancement option will singe the sim when they backfire. I've never had a sim die from it though. OTOH, I've never tried to get a singed sim to use it either. I suspect @EgonVM is correct about the game not letting singed sims use the machine simply because the game won't let singed sims use the chemistry bench. If the Personality Programming option backfires the sim's traits will also be randomized. I've had Personality Programming and Genius IQ (from the more expensive one) backfire but I can't say I've ever had the Brain Enhancement option do that. Then again, I don't use that option very often.
  • So... did anyone else see the pics @Nikkei_Simmer posted and start thinking, "This is where they find out what they want to know"? As in, that black site that officially doesn't exist, and they take you there, sooner or later they'll get what they want? I feel like those are stills from the opening scenes of an action movie where the difficult-to-manage-but-absolutely-brilliant operative who gets things done uncovers a sinister government plot that goes RIGHT TO THE TOP, but we're about to see what happened to the last agent who found out more than he should have. Is it weird that I suddenly want to turn off my cell phone and disable wifi? I'm thinking it might not be so weird.
  • I don't know, but your pictures are terrifying me for some reason :fearful:
