Repo-man



The Repo-Man is an evil NPC that visits a Sim's residential lot when they neglect to pay their bills. Over time, after bills have been delivered to a house, they change colour, going from white, to yellow, to orange to red. As they progress through the colours the need to pay them becomes more urgent. It's (approximately) 2 days between colour changes. Once bills stay red for more than 2 days, they will warn you at 7:00am that they must be paid immediately. You will be given until 6:00pm the next night to pay, if you don't, the red bills will explode and summon the Repo-Man.

He usually takes one or two items, but if the Sim is in a large amount of debt he may take several. The items he takes (approximately) add up to the the amount the Sim owes. The Sims of the household get a negative memory for each of the items taken, and may periodically cry about the lost item.

The repoman in The Urbz: Sims in the City is Harry Snivel.

If forced to come in The Sims 3 with testingcheatsenabled, the Repo-Man will take a large amount of items (sometimes 20) regardless of whether any debt is owed.

In most Sims games, he wears black, or at least dark, attire. He will come onto onto the lot and use a gun-like device on whatever he is going to repossess. The gun's special effects may vary from game to game, but the result is that the item vanishes.

In The Sims 3, if the player removes the any doors leading into their house, the repoman will use his teleporter to gain entrance.

The repoman can be removed various ways with testingcheatsenabled:
 * In Sims 2, he can be removed if an error is forced upon by control clicking, force error.
 * In The Sims 3, he can be removed if deleted by control clicking clicking, object..., delete this.
