A [[repo-man]] is sent to remove items from a Sim's house{{Vgversion|TS}}{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} or power and water will be cut{{Vgversion|TS4}} if bills remain unpaid for an extended period of time. Build and buy mode are disabled during this time in order to prevent the player from thwarting the agent's efforts. In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', Sims react to repossessions in the same way they react to having items stolen by a [[burglar]].

==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.
