'''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.
==The Sims==
Fines in ''
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.
Fines will usually occur if the player has a Sim call the [[police]] or the [[Fire Department|fire department]] if there is no burglar or fire. The first time, the Sim will usually receive a warning. After the first time, the Sim may either receive another warning or get a fine. If the family has less money than the amount of the fine, an object will be repossessed.▼

====Police====
If a Sim makes or drinks a potion from the [[The "Concoctanation Station"|chemistry set]] during the daytime, he or she can be fined if the set is outside.{{Vgversion|TS:LL}}▼

It is possible for a family to be fined for making too much noise.▼
On the Windows version, there is a possible glitch that the player will not be fined for calling the police and always receive a warning regardless of how many times they were called.
====Firefighter====
[[File:TS Firefighter fine.png|thumb|right|Firefighter fine in ''The Sims'' for Windows.]]Calling the firefighter will result in a fine. Unlike the police, there is no warning message. If the family has less than §100, objects will be taken away. The fine is §100 in these games.
====Chemistry Set====
▲If a Sim makes or drinks a potion from the [[The "Concoctanation Station"|chemistry set]] during the daytime, he or she can be fined §500 if the set is
====Magic====
If a Sim uses magic in front of a non-magical Sim (a Sim without a wand, who is in the same room as the caster and is not the target of the spell), the Spellchecker will show up and a fine will occur.
====Others====
▲It is possible for a family to be fined for making too much noise. This usually occurs if a party if thrown or if the baby is crying.
Some [[chance card]]s may result in a fine. If the family does not have enough to cover the amount of the fine, its funds will be reduced to zero, but objects will not be repossessed.

==The Urbz: Sims in the City==
===[[The Urbz: Sims in the City|Console]]===
Fines can occur if an Urb passes out or runs out of Bladder while in a district. It is possible to be fined if for making too much of a mess, such as having too much trash.
Unlike other games, calling the police or fire department when there is no emergency will not result in a fine.
===[[The Urbz: Sims in the City (handheld)|Handheld]]===
As in ''Bustin' Out'', if the player's Urb is arrested, he/she can pay a §100 fine to get out of jail.
==[[The Sims 2]] and [[The Sims Stories]]==
Fines in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'' are different from The Sims. Unlike in ''The Sims'', a sound will not play in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'' whenever a fine occurs. As with ''The Sims'', objects will be taken away if the player cannot pay the fine; funds will not normally be reduced to §0. If the player has no objects and has less than §500, the police officer/firefighter will criticize the family for wasting their time in a similar fashion to the [[repo-man]], and then leave.
===Police===
When a college student is [[Hacking|hacking grades]], there is a chance he or she will be caught and fined.{{Vgversion|TS2:U}}[[File:TSS_Fine_result.png|thumb|A result of being fined. The Sim is furious with the police officer.]]▼
[[File:TS2-TSS Fine Message.png|thumb|Being fined in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories''. Firefighter message is the same as the police.]]
Police in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'' will always fine the Sim without warning. The police officer will lecture the Sim and fine the Sim §500. The officer may take away an object if the player has less than §500. The lecture can trigger [[fury]].{{vgversion|TS2:NL}}
===Firefighter===
The firefighter will lecture and then fine the Sim. The fine is now §500. Like the police fine, the lecture can trigger fury. The firefighter will also repossess objects if the family has less than §500.

===DS===
Every time the a Sim is arrested, there is a §200 fine.
==[[The Sims 2 Pets (console)|The Sims 2 Pets (Console)]]==
===PS2, Gamecube, PSP and Wii===
A §250 fine will be assessed if a Sim player calls the police or fire department when there is no emergency. If the Sim has §249 or less, objects will be taken away.
==[[The Sims 3]] and [[The Sims 3 (console)|The Sims 3 for Console]]==
The Sims 3 fines work almost the same as ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'' except that a lecture will no longer severely decrease relationship.

===Police===
Like ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', the Sim will be lectured and then fined §500. The officer will also take away an object if the household has less than §500 but funds will not be reduced to §0. If the household has no objects that can be taken away and less than §500, nothing will happen but the Sim will still be lectured and the message of being fined will still appear. If [[testingcheatsenabled]] is used to spawn the police, the player will be fined (unless the burglar is spawned) as if they were called.
===Fire Department===
[[File:Sims 3 Fire Fine.png|thumb|263px|Fined by the firefighter in ''The Sims 3'' (PC/Mac).]]Like the police, the Firefighter will fine the Sim §500. If the household has less than §500 then the firefighter will take away an object but funds will not be reduced to §0. If the household has no objects that can be taken away and has less than §500, nothing will happen but the Sim will still be lectured and the message for being fined will still appear.
If the Firefighter was called (Either by phone or by fire alarm) and the fire was put out prior to the firefighter coming, the player will not be fined when they arrive. Like the police, if [[testingcheatsenabled]] is used to force the firefighter to spawn, the player will be fined unless if there is a [[fire]].
