A '''Fine''' is a penalty that occurs on The Sims, The Sims Bustin' Out, The Sims 2, The Urbz: Sims in the City, The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 Pets for Console, The Sims Life Stories, The Sims Pet Stories, The Sims 3 and The Sims 3 for Console. Fines usually subtract money from the household, if the player does have less than the fine, then objects will be reprocessed. |

'''Fines''' are penalties that can occur in most games in ''The Sims'' series. Fines subtract money from the household's funds. If there are not enough to cover the fine, household funds will be reduced to zero. In addition, objects ''may'' be repossessed, though this will depend on the game and the reason for the fine. |

Fines in ''The Sims'' are different from ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories''. Whenever a fine occurs, a sound effect will play. |

| ⚫ | |||
Fines will usually occur if the player invites the Police or the Firefighter if there is no Burglar or Fire. The first time you call the police or firefighter, the player will usually receive a warning. If the player calls the police or firefighter again, they may either receive another warning or may get a fine. If the player does have less money than the fine, then the police/firefighter will take away the object to add up the fine. |

Note that ''The Sims'' for console, ''The Sims Bustin' Out'', and the Mac OS X version are based on the Windows version of ''The Sims''. As such, fines in those games will be the same or similar. |

The Sims[edit | edit source]
Fines in The Sims are different from The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories. Whenever a fine occurs, a sound effect will play.

Detonating/Smashing[edit | edit source]
In The Sims 3: Ambitions and The Sims 3: Deluxe, a Sim can be fined for detonating objects (or using Smash as a Simbot)[confirmation needed] outside of the Junkyard or the Sim's home. At first, this will result in a warning, but after the first time, it will result in a fine. Fines may be cheap (§50) or expensive (§175,000) but this depends on the cost of the object. With The Sims 3: Late Night, the Sim may also get the Publicly Disgraced moodlet. While this does not automatically take away cash, it adds to the Sim's bills. Detonating objects in other Sims' homes does not cause a fine but this is considered inappropriate behavior and you will be warned accordingly unless your Sim has the relevant traits or lifetime rewards.
