Punishment: Difference between revisions

''' Punishment''' (also known as '''''Consequences''''') is the authoritative imposition of something unpleasant or negative on a Sim in response to crimes or poor behavior. [[Fine]]s have always been the most common form of punishment in ''The Sims'' series, but more recent games have featured other forms of punishment.

In ''[[The Sims]]'', if a child's [[school]] grades remains remain at an F (failing) for aseveral number ofconsecutive days, the child will be taken to [[military school]], and will be removed from the game. Subsequently,Children theysent wereto military school are no longer playable, could notcannot be retrieved or even viewed by the player, and the character wasare permanently lost. Other children in the household whose grades wereare at a D- or above are allowed to remain.

The [[social worker]] appears in the first three main installments of ''The Sims'' series. One of her main responsibilities is to remove babies, toddlers and children from households where they are being neglected, such as if they are left at home alone{{vgversion|TS2}} or allowed to starve{{vgversion|TS2}}{{vgversion|TS3}}. Once alerted by a young Sim's distress, she will remove all babies, toddlers and children from a household, even if only one was being neglected; the only exception being ''The Sims'', where only babies can be taken away due to neglect. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' she also replaces the military school function from ''The Sims'', as she removes any children from the household whose grades drop to an F (the equivalent teen punishment for poor grades is the loss of a part-time job and/or being unable to go to college). In ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 4'', babies taken away due to neglect are then permanently lost tofrom the playergame. In ''The Sims 2'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]'', young Sims who are removed are not permanently lost, but are available for adoption by other families. However, families who have already had one or more children taken away by the social worker are unable to adopt from that time onwards, meaning that they cannot simply re-adopt their own children once they have been taken away ; however, any children naturally conceived after the social worker's intervention will be allowed to remain, provided their parents do not neglect them.{{vgversion|TS2}} The social worker will never intervene on behalf of a teen or older Sim. In ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'', the social worker will intervene if pets are neglected of needs, and will remove all pets even if only one was being neglected. Pets removed by the social worker are permanently lost.

==The Stocks/Execution==

In ''[[The Sims Medieval]],'', major crimes arecan punished by a trip to the stocks or by execution in the form of being fed to the pit beast. A trip to the stocks will happen with minor crimes, and will result in the negative Humiliated by Stocks buff which lasts for five hours after release. While imprisoned in the stocks, Sims are vulnerable to being pelted with eggs and tomatoes which will worsen the Humiliated by Stocks buff, but execution will happen with major crimes, and will kill off the criminal sim, and though Sims who are high level heroes may be able to survive a trip to the pit beast, but most Sims will not.
