The '''repairman''' is an [[NPC]] that will repair broken objects and unclog the toilet. He/She visits only once when called from the ''Service'' menu on the phone and leaves once everything is fixed. In ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', he/she will also leave if he/she is unable to reach the broken object.
 
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
 
'''The repairman fixes''':
* [[Computer]]s
* [[Shower]]s and [[bathtub]]s
* [[Toilet]]s
* Sinks
* [[Television]] sets
* Dishwashers
* [[Stereo]]s
* [[Robotics|Robots]]
*[[Servo]]s
* Appliances
 
In ''The Sims 2'', the repairman will also tune [[piano]]s.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
In ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims (console)|The Sims for console]]'', ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', the repairman will come at any time.
 
In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', repair service is not available around the clock, though it can be called at any time. A repairman will work between 09:00 and 17:00 (5:00 pm). However, for same-day service, it's best to call before 13:00 (1:00 pm). After that, the later the call, the more likely it is that the repairman won't come until the next morning, even if called before 17:00 (5:00 pm). Also, the repairman will charge a base fee of §10, in addition to the standard §50 per hour.

==The Sims 3==
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', clicking on a broken object gives the option to "Call Repairman." It will cost §50 for the Repairman to fix the object.
[[File:Repairman render TS4.png|thumb|A repairman in ''The Sims 4''.]]
Repairmen were not included in the initial release of ''[[The Sims 4]]'', but were re-added in [[The Sims 4/Patch 26|patch 26]]. They charge a base price of §100 for coming over, plus an additional §10/hour. As in ''The Sims 3'', clicking on a broken object gives the option to call a repairman.
 
== Player Tips ==
* In ''The Sims: Bustin' Out'' (GBA) and ''The Urbz: Sims in the City'' (GBA and DS), Sims can get free repairs by leaving before the repairman finishes repairing the object.
* In ''The Sims 2'', Sims with little or no Mechanical skill can repair broken sinks, showers, and bathtubs, though it'll take longer. If a sink, shower, or tub breaks during the evening or at night, it'll get fixed sooner if the Sims do it themselves than if they wait for the repairman.
* Objects on a ''[[University]]'' [[dormitory]] are immune to breakdowns and never need to be repaired.
* In ''The Sims 2: Open for Business'', the repairman will not turn off a broken [[Robotics|RoverBot or HoverBot]].
*In ''The Sims: Bustin' Out'', there has been known to be a problem with the 9 screen TV. The repairman will not leave unless the TV is off (the player may need to do turn it off repeatedly). It does not happen with other TVs.
