The Sims Bustin' Out Cheats For PlayStation 2

  1. Get ''move away'' rebate

    In Bust Out Mode, if you have made a contribution to the value of the house of the Sim you are staying with, when you move away you will be reimbursed for it. Take advantage of this. Buy something expensive, move away, get reimbursed (automatically), move back and use the Sim Object as if you paid for it. Be careful, if you are in debt when you move away you will have to cough up some Simoleons yourself.

The Sims Bustin' Out Cheats For GameCube

  1. More Simoleons without effort.

    For this to work you need a GBA and link cable. Connect the GBA to the GC and switch on during gameplay. Purchase the Game Arcade for $99. With the GBA on play the Arcade and when the load bar starts on the GBA, pause the GC. This way as you play the mini game your stats will not change, you can spend days on end making money with only minimal impact on your sim.

  2. Max Out Skills at Mom's House

    You can max out all of your skills at Mom's House-- WITHOUT SLEEPING. This will save you tons of time if you don't have to worry about working on skills while you're at the other locations.

    Start a new Bust Out mode game. Do not move out of Mom's House until you max out all of your skills. Start by using the easel to paint: this will be how you afford all of the other skill items you'll need. Max out creativity, selling paintings as you go. I recommend mechanical skill next, as it will help you repair broken items that can happen at Mom's House. Don't worry about fires: as long as you don't move out, a fire is impossible to spawn, even with cheats. Keep painting and buy whatever you need to keep skill building, and rearrange/sell furniture as needed. Be sure to keep the value of upgrades to sold furniture positive, or you'll have to pay Mom later.

    You will need to eat, use the toilet, socialize, and have fun, but you won't need to sleep. At the end, you should be able to afford great upgrades for Mom, so you'll leave with a great cash bonus once you max out all of your skills. There is no time limit, but Mom will occasionally nag you to get a job, and cleaning, gardening, and repair tasks still need to be completed.

  3. How to get out of paying bills

    When you get your mail and your character goes to put th bills on a surface, quickly press b to cancel the command. Right afterwards when your sim is starting to put the bills on the ground pause the game and move a newspaper or other item over the block where your sim is putting the bills. when your sim puts the bills on the ground, the will disappear!

  4. Never sleep again

    Sleeping is the standard way to recover energy in the sims, but it takes so long...There are two ways you can avoid sleeping at all, but still top off your energy quickly. here they are.

    #1- Coffee machine or Slushrush smoothie counter
    One of the best ways to prevent energy from falling to zero is to guzzle coffee or slush drinks until you have a full bar. I recommend the smoothie bar over the coffee machine because it not only restores more energy, it also restores comfort and hunger. Beware, though. you need to use the toilet often while topping off your sleep gauge.

    #2- Bug zapper
    Ever wondered what good the bug zapper was actually FOR? well, in addition to providing mild amusement for your sim, it can "recharge" his batteries. Touch the bug zapper about 6 times, and you have a full energy gauge, even from zero. painless, right? well, actually, it wasn't so painless for your sim. comfort has probably dropped to zero after you get done, so recover it with a dip in the hot tub or a nice sit on the couch.

  5. Home Sick

    While in-game press the d-pad up, R, Z, and d-pad down. You should here a woman sim go "oooh" which confirms you entered it correctly. Now when you move to your mom's house all your stats (like sleep, not job stats) will go up to about 3/4 full and when you leave her house they will go up to full. NOTE. This only works if you go to mom's house, not anywhere else. Also Note visiting mom does not work must move out.

  6. Get Roommate's Skills

    If you have a GBA connection established, and you are in Bustin' Out mode, have your sim go to Simvalley from the car/scooter. On his/her way there, select a roommate with high skills that you are living with. Keep this sim selected untill yours leaves. If you do this correctly, the roommate will be transported onto the GBA. Return as usual and check your sim's skills. They will be the same as said roommate.
