Now that I've had time to think about it, they never actually worded that someone will be generated to take your stuff. In reality all they can do is just program the game itself to take away your stuff and just write a notification saying that someone came in and took your stuff while you were away, etc. But this is all just a worst case scenario, right?

Also, how are you going to get that stuff back? Is there a guarantee you'll ever be getting it back? What if something bugs out and your stuff can't be retrieved and if they fix that it won't help you get your old stuff back but prevent any future repos? So basically tough luck then..? Don't expect those family heirlooms back if a bug like that happens. But of course this is all just worst case scenario stuff, there's no way such a terrible thing could ever occur, right? Right..? Right...

The repo man in past games never took personal items. You never got the item back, you just opened the buy catalogue and bought it again. (Once you had enough money, or cheated or sold a window if you needed the toilet). I'd hope they would code them the same here.

You've made me nervous now though, they've done some pretty wack things with TS4 and now I'm actually worried there's no repo man at all and it just zaps out like our toddlers when the social worker takes them. We don't have npc social workers actually bother to show up to claim our children, but they will put the effort in to have an npc take our stuff? It's actually a possibility that it works that way. :/

Oh man I hope not. It's annoying enough to have disappearing children and maids that clean while you are away all the time. I never imagined when I was playing the other games that I'd miss all the random NPC's, but I do. I hated getting the newspaper piling up, but I even miss that chick. Lol.
