"The Sims" : Bills & the Repo Man

The mailman will leave a bill (bills are based solely on which objects the family owns) in the mailbox every 3 sim days. After 10 Sim days the bill becomes overdue. The bills will gradually change color to yellow, orange, and red, to remind you that the bill needs to be paid. If the bill is not paid by the 10th day, the Repo Man will come and take the most expensive objects until the bill is paid for. Bills are important to take care of, or else you may lose an expensive object that took your family a long time to earn. I try to pay the bills as soon as they arrive so I don't forget about them. You can however use the move_objects cheat to avoid paying.
