We pursue the study of the Curie–Weiss model of self-organized criticality we designed in (Ann. Probab. 44 (2016) 444–478). We extend our results to more general interaction functions and we prove that, for a class of symmetric distributions satisfying a Cramér condition (C) and some integrability hypothesis, the sum $S_{n}$ of the random variables behaves as in the typical critical generalized Ising Curie–Weiss model. The fluctuations are of order $n^{3/4}$ and the limiting law is $k\exp(-\lambda x^{4})dx$ where $k$ and $\lambda$ are suitable positive constants. In (Ann. Probab. 44 (2016) 444–478), we obtained these results only for distributions having an even density.
