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. Build and buy mode are disabled during this time in order to prevent the player from thwarting the agent's efforts. A repo-man is sent to remove items from a Sim's house or power and water will be cut if bills remain unpaid for an extended period of time. Not paying bills on time will result in negative consequences a Sim households. A warning message will be displayed when grades fall to D or lower. Other children in the household whose grades are at a D- or above are allowed to remain. Children sent to military school are no longer playable, cannot be retrieved or even viewed by the player, are permanently lost. In The Sims, if a child's school grades remain at F (failing) for several consecutive days, the child will be taken to military school, and will be removed from the game.
