It's unlikely that anyone needs much of an introduction to the Sims phenomenon, seeing as how it's one of the best-selling PC games of all time. The Sims: Bustin' Out is the second version of the game to arrive on consoles, and comes complete with new professions, items, and a goal-based story mode that sees you rise through the corporate world until you amass enough power to crush your power-hungry stepfather once and for all. Along the way, you'll have to juggle the various needs of your Sims in an attempt to keep them happy, healthy, and in full control of their Bladders. Luckily for you, this guide is the electronic equivalent of an adult undergarment. If you can't quite get the hang of the game's many terms and mechanics, take a look inside for tips on:
- Creating a Sim: Curious about what the heck your Sim's personality traits do? Look here.
- Relationships: Unless you want your Sim to wind up on Jerry Springer, you'd best avoid some common blunders when dealing with your friends and loved ones.
- Home Construction: How to build a home that'll please everyone who enters.
- Careers: Learn about the various careers and which has the most money for the fewest hours.
- Bustin' Out Mode: A rundown of the story mode, complete with tips on how best to gut your houses and rebuild them from the ground up.
