Can't complete the goals?45932

Kate from England, Taunton says (14/Apr/2006):
  I found it hard to cmoplete these three goals.
1) I couldn't find the stolen fern at the Goths house. But i thought, it's stolen so it should be in somenoe elses house, so i went round visiting everyone, and to save you doing that, im just going to tell you where it is, if you dn't want 2 no, then don't look, or read, whatever, it's at the back of Dudley's trailer. It's next to the broken down car, you click on the plant like fern thing, and select steal, Dudley then goes, THAT fern. I was just borrowing it. yeh right. and that's how you complete the goal.

2) Secondly i found it hard to find a good sci'fi script in the Tinsel Bluffs' house, but what you need to do is unlock the location to the Shiny Things Lab, then select the ornament of the floating head in the room near the middle. Sorry i cant' help ,more with that one.

3) Finally, i couldn't get Malcolm to put me in his big movie, once again when i was at the Tinsel Bluffs, so i went to his house, well, invited him over and we made really good friends, don't tell him a joke until it's above roughly about sixty. then try to get your' friendship up to a hundred, it works much better if your' bothe inlove with each other by the way, even if your' a guy you can be, g-a-y, then throw a party and invite him, make sure you feed him and then ask him to put you in his big movie, and he should say yes, but! but make sure you talk to him at the party before you ask him to out you in his big movie. That's it by the way, sorry i can't help more. Anyway, the game is utter;y fantastic, i'm going to play it now actual;ly, and i'm not just saying that.

furniture limit45413

A gamer from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada says (10/Oct/2005):
  Alright, well i love this game and am completely addicted to it, but there is basically just one thing that I dont like about it. Why is there a limit on how much furniture you can have in the house? It's supposed to be realistic but in real life, Im pretty sure that nobody has a limit on how much furniture they can have in their house. I used the money cheat to get more money and planned to make my house amazing with all the furniture I wanted in it..and halfway through making it, I find out I cant put any more furniture in! I was verrry disappointed by this. I havent bothered to read through all of the reviews so i dont kno if anybody else has complained about this but i just thought id say somethin about it.But other than that, its a very good game.

I love this game43659

chantalle from virginia,usa says (18/Dec/2004):
  I love the sims bustin out but it could be better. I hate that you cant have another person in the car with you.And why cant you let them drive?I mean you would get tired.And why cant you go on the other side of the road? I hate the music that plays in the car while you drive, there should be radio stations like GTA.You should be able to pick different cars like make your own. choose your color and if you want it to be a van or suv.They should grow old and have wrinkles.why dont the kids grow into an adult and move out?I like when you could change the clothes on them like the regular sims.And wheres the vanity table? I liked giving them a different look everyday.And you know how the other sims walk down the sidewalk by your house? Why cant we?And I hate how you only have a square piece of land to build a house on. You cant build a mansion. And malcolms mansion doesnt look like one to me.And why cant you see others houses from where you live? And another thing about driving. how come you only go in a straigt line? Wheres the turns? the red lights? other cars? people?and other peoples houses? And I hate that u cant drive yourself to work.And people come into your house and expect you to shake there hand. they only come when I fix food.And I think everyone misses the tree swing. and when they go to work here u are being bored going aroung in circles while you wait for them to get home.It would be more exciting to go to work with them and do your work.And then drive yourself back home without having the car controlled its self.And you should be able to go to the store and buy things. And when u cook have a variety of food to cook.I bet they get tired of eating the same thing. And when u dont want to cook why not have resturants? I think that the time goes a little too fast.its dark before u know it. I try to make the kids go to bed early for school.And one of the most important things is why is there work and school everyday? I mean havent they heard of a break? like weekends.and it would be cool to have a problem child of the family that the school calls and say the got into trouble. And u know how the couples kiss and play in the love bed and its like they ask if they want to have a baby,well why have it right then? why cant the mother carry it for a while and have to be rushed to the hospitals after a few nights? and there should be twins and triplets and u dont choose what u get that would be cool. well thats all for now im jus sayin a game like this would sell big.it should be like real life.

Need Help41565

Gianna from Florida, Usa says (30/Jun/2004):
  This is a great game. In an earlier review I read something about adding a little game things to the next sims game from GTA. Well your answer to that is yes. On the next game of the sims they are going to add graphics like GTA. You can take the subway and you'll live in a city with bars, and stores and restaurants. The only question I had was I hear a lot of talk about this Nikki Nacks store, but I haven't discovered it yet in my game. If anyone reads this message please retype another telling me if this store exists on ps2 version of this game and if so, what do I have to do to achieve this store.

This is The Best game EVER!!!!! :-)41383

Tony kolli from Baltimore says (20/Jun/2004):
   Hi my name is Tony. When I purchased the the sims I thought that it was not gonna be as good as the pc sims but hell was I wrong. This is my favorite game. I love it because you can live a second life and do what ever you want with your life. You can make you person black or white, fat or skini, gay or str8(lol). there is only one problem that is that you can't make a second floor to your house. I also like how you can get cars, and mopeds. When I started Playing the sims bustin' out I played from 8:00-3:00. I never got bored. Ha, how could you get bored with the sims bustin' out. I love the name "bustin' out", it makes you wanna party with your sims. In fact I am playing it Right now. I just want every body 2 know that the new sims comin out for playstation 2 is called the sims- GETTIN PAID. I know because my dad works for the company that makes the sims.
its fun I andn I already have my copy. it comes out in about 2 years. And it has the tree swing and the vanity table. i told my dad to make sure it did.

The sims bustin out41357

shavone from bronx, Ny says (18/Jun/2004):
  bustin out is a fantastic game eventhough i have to agree with a previous review its kind of boring heres and idea to make it fun and exciting add some of that GTA gamestyle with the sims and you have yourself a MASTERPIECE. The sims should be able to actually visit with friends as well as be able to really go to work or perhaps have a mission in the sims where a sim has drive to work actually be seen doing the work I hope in the near future a game like that does surface Oops! there already is: GTA san andreas, they put a little bit of the sims in their game and bet it will be a hit for sure. evidence to back my statement up: i was reading a review and in the newest GTA you have to feed yourself, go to the gym, learn to swim etc. (sound familiar)))anyways i think it would be a cool experience to be able to sell and own local businesses and be able to be a more free spirit in the sims, instead of only having a square box for land and a car that picks you up and takes you away for a brief moment and then you return home not being able to feel the affect of whats supposed to be going on.

Chelsea B from waverly, iowa usa says (5/Jun/2004):
  First I am a huge fan of the Sims. I do love to play this game. But as stated by others there are some things I miss dearly from the last Sims release.
Where is the tree swing? Sims could talk and talk for hours there and gain 50+ friendship points at once -and get energy and enjoyment from it too. This should be revived in a next release!!
I miss the vanity table too as stated in another review. The abillity to be able to change your clothes and appearance during game play added alot for the realty of the virtual world.
Sometimes, more and more often I pull out the old game. I plead with someone to bring some of those special perks back in the next release.

Could Be Better40864

Me from D.C. says (14/May/2004):
  I think the game is okay but it could be better. The sims should age, and your sims spouse should be able to drive the car. Also, what happened to the vanity table from the last game where you could change the appearance of the sims? The sims should be able to travel in the free mode or what ever its called, the no story line part. They did make improvements with the game and it is a good game but its not what I thought it was going to be. The game is okay, but it could be a lot better.

THERE ARE CHEATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!40459

bella from uk says (16/Apr/2004):
  Having read the reviews of either blind or lazy peeps i had to say that there ARE CHEATS for this game, i found them in 2 minutes on the net, and some kind soul has actually took the time to write them out a few reviews up !!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP !!!!!!!!!!

The game is wicked ! it takes ages to complete, but its easy if you use the CHEATS !!

Was quite upset to see my child disappear to school, but hubby was quick to offer more ;0)

Overall id reccommend it, although some of it not suitable for tots, teens and above or supervised is my recomendation

GREAT GAME40436

death_angel from Hell says (15/Apr/2004):
  I love the game, you can play this game for 8 full hours without getting bored at all. The game has more than enough cheats than the first release plus the graphics are way better and you already have a good variety of clothes, shoes and etc. The game is basically good and fun, you can rely on this game if you get stuck on other RPG's. The thing that SUX about this game though is that you can't change your clothes in the middle of the game, the furniture meter is still there and the variety of the children's clothes is simply lame...

Here are some cheats thsat I find very useful

R2,L1,R1,L2,LEFT, CIRCLE (this is the gnome cheat, you have to encode this first) If you have enetered this correctly a sim voice will be heard from the background

(More bucks) L1,R2,RIGHT,SQUARE,L3- After encoding this cheat, highlight the gnome and it should say "give money" click as many times as you want amd see your money grow, it gives 10,000 simoleans per click

(Motive cheat)- Enable the gnome cheat then enter this, L2, R1, LEFT, CIRCLE, UP. After encoding the cheat, highlight the gnome and it should say "Fix motives"

All socials unlocked- L1,R1,DOWN,X,L3+R3

One question though, Is Nikki Nack's Store accesible in The Sim's Bustin' Out for PS2?

Living the life as a celebrity!39262

Sam (Boy) The Gamer Also from Partyin the gansta out yo! says (22/Feb/2004):
  Its me the gamer who makes the madalion dude I found cheats W00T now its a ten I became the mob boss and thanks mob guy for beating malcolm to death and my fans as a movie star running on his new uniform lol! I got max Chrasma and body and creativity 4 cooking 5 or 6 mechanical and like 2 logic the only thing wrong is I liked the neighborhood on sims for pc when you look at the houses but this is ok And want me to tell u a secret : If your a gangster a jock or a parlimatary I think you go to pixel acres and you live outside go into the shower and when you get out you will be naked then french kiss your wife or the lady at the ecampment and there both naked some people say its called making love while standing up! I thought my kid would go to the advantaged school and come back I figured Id get the car with solid A+'s LoL And I did I will never see my child again D< remove me > at mn Weevil School For Gifted children! Michael Jackson took my kid NOOOO LoL. My favorite color Is blue and they hardly have that color of hair I wish there was blue and red and uhh in real life I dont have that kinda hair sooo..... whatsever and whenever my brother is on the computer I cant install cheats. I made a humongous mansion jam packed with stuff cuz my Brother said While I played the sims Its not how big the place is its how much you put in it I made It big but who said It couldnt be as long as it all was put to use! It look me from like 1 1/2 - 4 hours to make It still stands today exept it would be perfect but the living room and Dining room connect so there are some walls tooken down the reason? To many in the house already. All you gotta realize is when making a mansion its not how big the rooms are its how much you put in yes if youll use most or all the space then make a big room but otherwise only use what you need or ull have a big empty room. I like the club rubb place I dance there and when I played the DJ Booth with max creativity I rocked da party Yo! And the other Thing I dont like is only max 4 people on sims pc its 8 thats weird I like to make like all my friends then this kid I dont like and starve him (His worst nightmare hes fat lol) Or Flame him it will be hard to burn him cause all his flubber lol My friends are Mike Jake and Me I like the blue spiked hair medium or light dark blue madalion jacket Black Baggy pants and Black shoes my friend Mike has teal sweatshirt with hood other baggy pants exept lighter and lighter shoes Same hair as me except Red with white tips Jake White hair strips hair skateboard shirt and pants and shoes kinda like Its funny how Im tellin you my friends but its kinda just tellin you some of the clothing in the game you can edit your people's noses eyes beards makeups foreheads ears freckles and stuff glases I like those major Silver spikey pearced ears those are sweet My guy looks like a gangster so much I rate this game a 10/10 I have to stop its 200 word limit LOL. I dont like how they kinda always look chinese too lol I pick the one after white! Cause I figure I want to be tan lol.


Graphics : 10/10 Smokes plain sims cause more details,images etc.
Sound : 9/10 Good sound no doubt exept not always cool!
Entertaining : 9/10 I can play for hours and hardly gets boring!
Gameplay : 10/10 Some old stuff from the sims and new from the sims bustin out yah!
Lifespan : 10/10 Ahh an important detail... Sims can only die of starvation fire and I think thats all......
Value : 9/10 You can buy this game for a good price and Your Sims things have a reasonable price too LOL
Originality : 10/10 This Is Old school mixed in with today with all that party and being a ganster and movie star etc.
Codes : Very good codes I found some Well I did before sept I kept the game paused after I got gnome code so They didnt work...

Overall : 10/10 Best sim game Yet but beware Sims 2 coming for pc soon hahahahaahahahaah Prepare for June 12 when it does!

This game is sooo cool!39262

Alex from Manchester Vermont says (7/Feb/2004):
  Whoever thinks this game is stupid is just weird. Sure, its better than "the sims". It has sooo many cool new features, if you dont own than you better buy it now! It is one of the coolest games EVER! If you need help ever with an EA game there's a code in the back. there's also a cheat hotline!!
there's so many cheats for it so your wrong if you think there is NONE. Although you can't have a cheats menu by pressing R1 L1 R2 and L2 at the main menu, but if you search the web you can find ALOT of cheats, if you know any, please contaact me!
If you really like this game contact me, if you have any questions, contact me, anything for contacting!
THANKS FOR READING AND DONT FORGET TO CONTACT ME!!!

Just as good as the PC38187

Jennifer from Daytona Beach, Florida says (12/Jan/2004):
  I don't know why the first review says that this game has no cheats. There are cheats, you just have to search online for them. You have a cheat that "refreshes" your sim's motives, and another one that works just like the "rosebud" cheat which gives you 10,000 simoleans in one shot. I played the game without ever sleeping, or running out of money. The official Sims website gives you some other cheats as well. I found the game to be easy, and very fun. I like how we can see our sims better. It almost has the graphics I'd expect from The Sims 2. Also, we get to see the Sims drive from one destination to another. It always irked me that I could never go visit people at their house. I always had to invite them over to mine. Well, the Sims Bustin' Out gives you that freedom to hop in your car, and drive to someone's house for a visit! They even greet you when you arrive, and say goodbye when you depart.

The game is very open ended. The variety of ways in which you can play and complete this game are endless. I think this may be our preview of what The Sims 2 will be like. If it is any indication, count me in!

Brittany Sucks38201

Kevin 360 from Kansas says (12/Jan/2004):
  This game doesn't suck,And yes they did make cheats you moron. This game is great,cause If you like PC you will LOVE this Game! This is really fun cause you can Make your own sim,And Bust out,and Move in with Dudley or Mimi Landgrabb,It is especially fun if you like playing as the kids,and the ghosts on this game are fixed now,so no more messed up Ghosts,it is fun when you go to the Goth's manor,cause you can listen to Bella play the Synthasizer,and It sounds really cool,and the part I didn't like about the game is that,there is only 3 lots in normal mode. But overall this is one of the best games in the world by EA Games!!! The game the will rank in the top 5 games of the year!!!

Better with free money38201

Jess from Detroit, MI says (8/Jan/2004):
  The sims are the only games I like to play. The last one was great and I could'nt wait for the next to come out! It's just not the same. Having a cheat for free money made it so much more fun. Decorating is the best part. This game would be BEYOND the best if only we could bUy whatever we want. Hopefully they DO have a cheat. They just want it to be a surprise!!! It would be a 10. I'm disapointed :(.......6

Cheats for the cheaters38201

Megan from FL, USA says (7/Jan/2004):
  Ok..ok..
Yea the Sims Bustin Out is a little bit harder, but don't cry.
I'm here to save everyone with some cheats. They aren't hard to put in and they don't mess up the game at all. But of course they ruin the purpose of the game. Yeah!! who cares!!
Right On With the cheats.


1. While playing the game (Bust out mode or regular) pause the game.
2) While the game is still paused enter:

R2,L1,R1,L2,LEFT,CIRCLE = This enters the Cheat Gnome this little guy with help out alot. While entering the codes, if done correctly you here a sim's voice. Then go back to the game and the blue lil gnome with appear in the front yard.

L1,R2,RIGHT,SQUARE,L3= This enters the the Extra money code, after you enter this code you "click" on the gnome to get your money. You'll get $10,000 everytime you click him.

L2,R2,UP,TRIANGLE,L3 = All objects unlocked, also you will here a voice if done right.
