'''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.

==Repossession and cuts==
Not paying [[bill]]s on time will result in negative consequences a Sim households. 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]].
In ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'' expansion pack, failure to pay bills will also mean that the landlord may refuse to check out problems in the [[Apartment#The Sims 4: City Living|apartments]].
In ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]'' expansion pack, failure to pay the student loans for a period of time will be visited by the repo-man to repossess an item and will keep visiting until Sims pay of all their debt.
As of The Sims 4 [[The Sims 4/Patch 95|patch 95]] update, not paying bills after a water cut will have their stuff be taken away to cover the bills.

Scoldings are the mildest parental punishment. Being scolded gives the child the negative "Got in Trouble" moodlet. Getting in trouble while having this moodlet will result in a time-out.
==== Time-Out
During a time-out, the child is ordered to stand in a corner for one hour while having the negative "Time-Out" moodlet. If the child is caught leaving time-out before the moodlet expires, he/she will have his/her privileges revoked. Teenagers can also be put in time-out.

=== The Sims 4: Parenthood ===
In ''[[The Sims 4: Parenthood]]'', punishments are mostly chosen by the player, rather than being autonomous. If a parent notice their child doing misbehavior such as swearing, making a mess or being mean to other Sims, the parent can punish the misbehaving child in many ways ranging from time outs to grounding. Children can however ignore the punishments, decreasing their [[character value]]s. The parent needs to level up their [[parenting]] skill in order to unlock more punishments and higher success rates and can also to talk to the other Sim before deciding on a punishment.
==== Scolding ====
===
Influencing or forcing misbehaving children or teens is the second mildest option of punishment. Parents can choose from parenting options either "Influence To..." or "Force To..." which both open a menu of different activities that the parent can make the child to do. Influencing to do things is a milder way to punish the children, while forcing is harsher and can be used if the child is rebellious against the influencing.
▲Talking to Sims can be used as a precursor to punishments. They are divided into three categories, all of which have two options (Except for the "Strict" category, which only has one).
====
Time-outs are unlocked by parents after reaching level four in the parenting skill. During a time-out children are ordered to sit down and wait for the 30 minute countdown to complete. During this time, the Sim cannot interact with anything nor can other Sims interact with them. After having a time-out the child will gain either a [[bored]] or a [[sad]] moodlet.
====
Grounding is unlocked after reaching level five in parenting skill and is the harshest form of parental punishment. There are multiple ways to ground a child ranging from not using the phone to not leaving the home. When grounded, the child will gain a [[tense]] moodlet and can try to disobey it by doing the prohibited actions secretly. If the child is noticed disobeying his/hers grounding, the parent will autonomously scold them, giving the child another tense moodlet. There can only be one grounding per day, unless the child has been noticed to disobey it, as parents can also give the child another grounding or time-out for doing so.
