I don't understand how people could be against the repo man?

Pay your bills, or cheat and pay your bills. They shut off your power, then plumbing; you have plenty of warning at each step. Do most people just play without paying bills or utilities?

No, but if I don't pay my bills they don't steal my stuff, they turn off whatever bill I didn't pay.

In real life if you don't pay for your house or car, they will take them. And it's not stealing. At least you can't lose your house in the game. Taking something like the toilet is about as close as they'll get to that, and it's funnier.

This is a game not real life so it doesn't work like that. In real life you can be evicted if you miss paying rent and you usually have to pay payments on cars. Even when the game had cars, you buy everything up front once and that's it, you own it. That is why Repo Men don't really work well in the game as they are stealing items that we own and paid for in full, not items they are collecting because we owe them money still and hadn't paid it off. They would have to allow sims to make payments and have us miss one for it to really work and not seem like theft (may as well just bring back burglars).
