This is my Complete version of The Sims : Bustin Out Walkthrough : My first Walkthrough was a little under the edge but i updated my walktrough with some new places so you can easily get through the other levels : Mom's House : Use the toilet to unlock the maid. This will allow you to hire the maid service in any house later in the game to clean up messes. Make friends with Mom as you will need lots of friends later in your career. Use the newspaper to find a job ( the choice is up to you). Sell the Oriental rug and grandfather clock and buy a hot tub, an expensive couch, espresso machine and a plasma TV so you can use them to keep your motives high when you return later to visit your Mom. Sell non-essential objects and buy skill objects. Take advantage of the artificially high mood here to build any skills you choose. Mimi's House : No matter what career you are in or what time your bus for work is scheduled to come, a bus will automatically come for you after a couple hours. Always take this bus as your Sim will be in a good mood and will automatically get their first promotion in any career. When you first arrive at this location, your mood will be extremely high. Take advantage of this time to use the bookshelf to build 2 mechanical skill points. Immediately call the maid and the gardener. The maid will clean up the house for you and the gardener will keep the plants healthy. After your Sim has 2 mechanical skill points, repair the broken espresso machine. This will unlock the repairman which you will be able to hire in any house later in the game to fix broken objects. Make friends with Mimi. This will unlock a secret social interaction and will give you another friend. You will need lots of friends to get to the top of your career. Buy a bug zapper and place it next to the hot tub. When you mood is too low for a promotion or skill building, zap your Sim until their energy is 100% full and then put them in the hot tub until most of their mood meters are green. The first promotion will unlock a special new location to visit based on the career of the player's Sim. This location will contain a special advanced skill object that builds the skill required for the next career promotion. After coming home from work the first day, immediately visit the new location and build the required skill points. Then simply take the next bus to work in a good mood, and a promotion is virtually assured within one day. Movie Star career unlocks Tinsel Bluffs for visiting - visit Tinsel Bluffs and use the MICROPHONE to quickly gain 2 CHARISMA SKILL POINTS.

Fashion Victim career unlocks Club Rubb for visiting - visit Club Rubb and use the DJ BOOTH to quickly gain 2 CREATIVE SKILL POINTS. As soon as your Sim gets their second promotion, immediately move out to the location you just unlocked for moving. Secret: Using the bar to build the cooking skill also produces drinks. These drinks are great for parties as they can be drunk to satisfy the hunger, comfort and fun motives all at the same time. Dudley's House : No matter what career you are in or what time your bus for work is scheduled to come, a bus will automatically come for you after a couple hours. Always take this bus as your Sim will be in a good mood and will automatically get their first promotion in any career. When you first arrive at this location, your mood will be extremely high. Take advantage of this time to use the bookshelf to build 2 mechanical skill points. Immediately call the maid and the gardener.

Make friends with Dudley. This will accomplish several goals and give you a secret unlock. This will also give you an additional friend and you will need many friends to get to the top of your career later. Buy a bug zapper and place it next to the hot tub.

Sell them and sell some expensive art to finance the purchase of the most expensive beds you can buy. For a party, the Studio will needs lots of bathroom space and a good kitchen. Sell expensive art to finance your renovation. Throwing the great art opening unlocks the Pottery Wheel. This object can be bought and used to build the creativity skill. It also produces vases which can be either sold for a profit or given away as gifts to increase relationships. In addition, the pottery wheel has a special social interaction called "get dirty." Just use the pottery wheel and invite another Sim you are in live with to "get dirty" to keep the relationship high. To have a great art opening, remove the walls between the kitchen and the large front left room. This will make them all one room. Make dinner around 6PM and then use the phone to start a party. The party goers will make a beeline for the food once they arrive. Once inside, the goal will automatically be accomplished. Always complete the house improvement goal by adding $1000 in objects to Studio 8. This unlocks the electric guitar object which can be used to increase the creativity skill, entertain other Sims, and build relationships at the same time. Plus it sounds cool. Secret: Counter Culture promotion to Massage Therapist unlocks the sculpture block. Players can buy this object and use it to build creativity skill. It also produces sculptures which can be sold for a profit! Secret: Fashion Victim promotion to Lingerie Model unlocks the laser light show. Always buy this object in any location you live in. It is a cheat object that allows you to pay for good moods. The "Soma" setting improves comfort. The "Chakra" setting improves energy. The "Cubella" setting improves fun. To unlock a new car, visit Mimi's Place and clean up her mess. The main skill a Counter Culture Sim will need here is cooking. Since this career already unlocked Pixel Acres for visiting, just visit that location in a good mood and use the Gourmet Stove to make Hors d'oeuvres to build the cooking skill quickly. The main skill a Fashion Victim will need here is creativity. Since this career already unlocked Club Rubb for visiting, just visit that location in a good mood and use the DJ Booth to spin to build the creative skill quickly. Always make friends with both Artie and Charity. Not only will you unlock to secret social interactions, but you will make 2 friends that will come in handy later.

Sell some expensive art like the coats of arms to finance a kitchen. Buy the most expensive refrigerator, stove, and counters you can afford. Splurge on a food processor too. There are not enough beds to go around here for all three Sims. Sell some more art to buy one or two more expensive beds and place them in the back storage room after you sell all the junk in it. Don't waste your time getting rid of the ghosts. It requires the house value to be improved by $1000 first to unlock the séance table and getting rid of all the ghosts with the séance table only unlocks a sculpture. Always make friends with both Mortimer and Bella. Not only will you unlock to secret social interactions, but you will make 2 friends that will come in handy later AND this will accomplish one of the goals of this location: make friend with Bella or Mortimer. The main skills a Mad Scientist Sim will need here are logic and mechanical. Since this career already unlocked Shiny Things labs for visiting, just visit that location in a good mood and use the Tesla Coil to build the mechanical skill very quickly. Logic skill can be gained by using the Incubator object which is in the back hot house room of Goth Manor. This builds logic faster than the chess set. Secret: Using the incubator to build logic skill also produces mutant trash-eating plants. These plants can be sold for a profit, or used as trash cans! In additional they eat the annoying flies which are always bussing around spoiled food. Feed these trash-eating plants enough garbage and keep them watered and they will further mutate into MAN-EATING plants. Man eating plants will eat Sims if you don't water them enough! The main skills a Movie Star Sim will need here are Charisma and body. Since this career already unlocked Tinsel Bluffs for visiting, just visit that location in a good mood and use the Microphone to build the charisma skill very quickly. You can either buy a weight machine or treadmill from the catalog to build body skill, or just visit Dudley's Trailer and use his weight bench for FREE. Tip: By the end of their career, a Mad Scientist Sim will need 5 points in creativity. Use the Synthesizer to rapidly build the creative skill while living here. It is the second fastest creativity skill building object in the game after the DJ Booth. This will also come in handy if you switch to the Gangster or Fashion Victim careers later, both of which needs lots of creativity. To unlock a new car, visit Dudley's Trailer and steal the fern out back by the broken down car. Before you move out, buy a hot tub and a bug zapper or espresso machine before you leave. This will allow you to come back and use the bug zapper or espresso machine raise your energy. Then you can jump in the hot tub to raise most of your other motives to keep you in a good mood so you can keep using the synthesizer and incubator to build skills or stay friendly with the Goths. Tip: Always send the other Sim you can control (either Mortimer or Bella) to work. Their paycheck goes right into your bank account. Toane's Gym : This location doesn't have ANY beds and has a poorly laid out kitchen. Sell the plasma screen TV and lounge chairs and some of the gym equipment and then buy 2 or 3 of the most expensive beds you can buy and place them in the empty back room. Sell off the fence around the kitchen so the entire table is free, and place more chairs around it. Buy an espresso machine so visitors can keep their energy high. Buy an expensive stove and refrigerator. Always complete the location upgrade goal by adding $1000 in objects to the location. Not only does this unlock the best toilet in the game, which you should immediately replace all your toilets on all levels with, but the location upgrade is a necessary requirement for visitors to accept your invitation to join the gym, should you wish to try that goal. Always make friends with both Max and Goldie. Not only will you unlock to secret social interactions, but you will make 2 friends that will come in handy later AND this will accomplish one of the goals of this location: make friend with Max or Goldie. The main skill a Gangster Sim will need here is creativity but there are no creative skill objects here. The Gangster career did unlock the Club Rubb location which contains the DJ Booth. Just visit Club Rubb in a good mood and use the DJ booth to build the creativity skill there. The DJ Booth is the fastest creativity- building object in the game. The main skill a Paramilitary Sim will need here is logic but there are no logic skill objects here. The Paramilitary career did unlock The Octagon for visiting however which contains the robot. The robot is the fastest logic skill objects in the game. Just visit The Octagon in a good mood and program the robot to build the logic skill quickly. The main skill a Jock Sim will need here is body. The gym is filled with 3 body skill objects: the pool, weight benches and treadmills. Ignore them and use this shortcut: Move out to Dudley's Trailer. Change jobs to Paramilitary. Get one promotion to unlock The Octagon for visiting. Move back to Toane's Gym and get your old job back as a Jock. Then visit the Octagon in a good mood and use the Abdominator to build body skill. It is the fastest body skill object in the game. To unlock a new car, visit Dudley's Trailer and party with him. This is a difficult goal to accomplish but is easy if you follow these steps: Visit Dudley around noon. He will only throw a party between 7 am and midnight. As soon as visitors start arriving go talk to them or use social interactions. You will need to have a relationship >5 to EVERY Sim at the party, including Dudley, to unlock the car. To give you more time, move back to Dudley's Trailer and buy lots of Ice Coolers as these will allow people to satisfy their hunger without Dudley cooking hamburgers. It is a good idea to complete the gym membership goal so you can unlock the DJ Booth. The DJ Booth is the fastest creativity skill object in the game and it will be helpful to buy for other careers later and spare you the need to visit Club Rubb to use it. When Sims join your gym, they also give you $100! Hint: Don't both asking Goldie or Max to join the gym as they are already members! Tip: Always send the other Sim you can control (either Max or Goldie) to work. Their paycheck goes right into your bank account. Secret: One of the new ways to kill Sims this year is to make them jump off the high dive with no pool underneath. Sims will die when their comfort reaches less than -100 after diving into the ground. Casa Caliente : This location doesn't have any beds when you first move in. Sell the swimming pool and any art you can find and any outdoor furnishings and fences to finance the purchase of expensive beds. You may need to build an additional room. If you get rid of the swimming pool there will be plenty of room for an extra bedroom. The kitchen is not complete. Sell non-essential objects as above and buy the most expensive stove and refrigerator you can afford. If you want to do the visitation goals, they need to be accomplished in a certain order: You must first visit Studio 8 and paint a painting on the easel. This will unlock Goth Manor for visiting if you have not unlocked that location yet. Before you can accomplish the visitation goal at Goth manor, you need to complete the "Score with 2 Sims at the same party" goal to unlock the "romantic kiss" social interaction which you are required to use on Bella or Mortimer when you visit Goth Manor. The easiest way to accomplish the "Score with 2 Sims at the same party" goal is to do the following: make Paisley or Randy fall in love with you. Visit Dudley or Mimi and get them to fall in love with you. Make dinner. Then invite the two Sims that are in love with you to your house right before you throw a party. While everyone is eating inside go outside and use the "call over" command on one of the Sims in love with you. Score with them. Wait until they go inside. Use the "call over" command to bring the other lover outside and then score with them too. To make parties last longer, buy a hot tub and espresso machines. The espresso machines will keep visitors energy up and hot tubs will keep most of their other motives high. Sims in good moods stay at parties longer. The main skill a Counter Culture Sim will need here is Cooking. Counter Culture Sims can either keep visiting Pixel Acres to use their Gourmet Stove, or since the Counter Culture career unlocked the gourmet stove for promotion #3, you can just buy one and place it in the kitchen here. This object can be used as a normal stove for cooking, but you can also produce party snack while building the cooking skill at the same time, so owning the stove is more efficient than visiting and using it. The main skill a Gangster Sim will need here is creativity, but there are no creativity skill objects here. If you completed the gym membership goal at Toane's Gym you can buy the DJ Booth as it is great entertainment for parties and builds the creativity skill very quickly. Another option is to save money and just keep visiting Club Rubb and using their DJ Booth for free. Secrets: hidden interaction objects! Counter Culture promotion #1 here unlocks the Vibromatic Heart Bed. Gangster promotion #2 here unlocks the Niagara Love Tub. The location upgrade goal unlocks the Sham Shag Polar Bear rug. All three of these objects are made for 2 Sims in love with each other. Make your Sim use the objects and then invite a Sim you love to join you to see some Sims-style hanky panky. Tip: Always send the other Sim you control (Randy and Paisley) to work. Their paycheck goes right into your bank account. Don't bother getting married here as you can accomplish the goal later at Malcolm's Mansion when you have some free time. Anywhere you get married will unlock the same object: a new car! Shiny Things Labs : This location has a lousy kitchen. Sell all the trash cans and ventilation ducts from outside to fund your kitchen renovation. Always buy the most expensive stove and refrigerator you can afford and a food processor if you have enough counter space. If you want to accomplish the "Rocket Launch Party" goal you will need to have at least mechanical skill >=8 to make rocket gnomes on the invention bench, but it is not required that YOUR Sims make the gnomes. You can make Vaughn or Makino create rocket gnomes. They will not use the invention bench until you complete the location upgrade goal, so just buy $1500 worth of objects for the lab and then make one of them raise their mechanical skill to >=8 until they start making rocket gnomes. If you want to complete the visitation goals, you must complete goals in a certain order: First, visit Goth Manor and steal their fern to satisfy the "Find the spores" goal. This will unlock Studio 8 for visiting if you have not unlocked it yet. Then, complete the Rocket Gnome Launch Party goal by firing off 5 rocket Gnomes during a party. This will unlock the "hypnotize" social interaction which you are required to use on Charity or Artie when you visit Studio 8 for the goal there. The main skills a Mad Scientist Sim will need here are Mechanical and Logic. At this point, the Mad Scientist career will have unlocked the Tesla Coil and The Octagon for visiting. Buy the Tesla Coil to build mechanical the quickest and just visit The Octagon in a good mood to keep programming the robot for logic skill. Secret: The first promotion in the Mad Scientist career here unlocks the Tesla Coil. Not only is this the fastest mechanical skill object in the game, but it also has an amazing side effect on use: the lightning ball. For mechanical skill 0-5, the Tesla coil will produce a lightning ball every so often. This lightning ball will sometimes destroy objects, but it can also get rid of garbage, repair broken objects and make wilted plants healthy again! Then, after the user's mechanical skill is 6 or higher, the Tesla Coil has a chance of producing a lighting ball that will seek out Sims and maximize one of their motives to a full 100%! Secret: The first promotion in the paramilitary career here unlocks the Telescope. The telescope builds logic at the basic skill gain rate, but it can also be used by children to raise their grades and it is fun to use, so Sims can use it to build skill or raise grades for a longer period of time. In addition, if it is used at night there is a slight chance the user will be abducted by aliens! Abducted Sims will be returned 6 to 12 hours later with a scrambled personality. This is the ONLY way to change the personality in the game AND it is possible to return from abduction with all personality meters full for a SUPER SIM! Always use the sonic shower in the bathroom here when you need to raise hygiene. It raises hygiene and comfort at the same time, and faster than any other shower or bathtub in the game. Secret: The invention bench crates 3 kinds of inventions based on your skill level: Cute Gnomes, Jumping Flamingos and Rocket Gnomes. All can be sold for a profit! Cute Gnomes can even be given away as gifts to improve relationships and they are never turned down because everyone loves cute gnomes! Tip: Always send the other Sims you can control (Vaughn and Makino) to work. Their paycheck goes right into your bank account. Don't bother getting married here as you can accomplish the goal later at Malcolm's Mansion when you have some free time. Anywhere you get married will unlock the same object: a new car. Clubb Rubb : This location needs a place to sleep for all the Sims living there and a new kitchen. Sell off lots of the art and all the junk in the back storeroom and use the money to do the following: Build a new room behind the DJ booth and attached to the pool room. Buy the most expensive beds you can afford and place them in there. Buy the most expensive refrigerator and stove you can afford and place them behind the counters where the bar used to be. Buy a big table and some nice dining chairs so you and any visitors will have a comfortable place to sit while eating. You can't complete the main goal of throwing a dance party until you have unlocked the dance floor object. To unlock the dance floor, you must first complete the location upgrade goal by adding $1500 in value to the club. If you want to complete the visitation goals, you must complete goals in a certain order: First, make friend with Bing to unlock the "break-dance" social interaction. Then visit Studio 8 and use break-dance on Charity or Artie. This visitation goal will unlock Toane's Gym if you have not unlocked it already. Then go to Toane's Gym and do 3 triple flips of the diving board to accomplish that visitation goal. The main skill a Movie Star Sim needs here is charisma. Continue to visit Tinsel Bluffs and use their microphone to build the charisma skill rapidly. The main skill a Fashion Victim Sim needs here is cooking. It is recommended that you buy a gourmet stove so you can build the cooking skill and pump out Hors d'oeuvres for the dance party. Buying the bar is good idea too as it also builds cooking skill and makes drinks to keep visitors happy. The main skill a Jock Sim needs here is body. The fastest way to raise the body skill is to visit The Octagon and use the Abdominator. Use the shortcut described in the Toane's Gym section above to unlock The Octagon for visiting. Secret: This location comes furnished with a laser light show. You can keep your mood artificially high by using this object. See Studio 8 section above for instructions on how to use this object. Don't bother getting married here as you can accomplish the goal later at Malcolm's Mansion when you have some free time. Anywhere you get married will unlock the same object: a new car. The Octagon : This Spartan location needs an upgrade in almost every department: sleeping quarters, bathroom facilities, kitchen and dining areas and fun objects. But there is not much of value to sell. An easy way to get some money is to sell off EVERYTHING including all the objects you can sell, walls, doors and even the floors and then rebuild a smaller more efficient structure from scratch, with the best beds, bathrooms, kitchen and fun objects you can afford. If you want to complete the visitation goals, you must complete goals in a certain order: First, visit Shiny Things labs and steal a computer. This will unlock Club Rubb for visiting if you have not unlocked it yet. Then visit Club Rubb and attack Bing or Mona. This will unlock Goth Manor for visiting if you have not unlocked it yet. Then visit Goth Manor and break all the incubators. This will unlock the Abdominator object which builds the body skill faster than any other object in the game. If you want to complete the main goal of eliminating Senator Landgrabb, there are actually several ways to complete the goal but the easiest way is to invite Malcolm over and then trap him buy building a room around him. When one of his motives gets to -100 he will beg for mercy and give you $5000. Don't bother getting married her or raising a baby as you can do that at Malcolm's mansion later when you have free time. The unlocked reward objects for these goals are the same for all lots on which these goals exist. As per earlier levels, it a good idea to make friends with both the General and Maxine so you can unlock their secret social interactions. Also, make sure they both go to work each day so you can collect their paychecks. Pixel Acres : This outdoor location also needs a lot of modification to make it livable. Sell all the tents, tables, chairs and walls at the front of the lot and buy the most expensive beds, kitchen and bathroom objects, and fun objects you can afford. Don't sell any trees or plants as you get no money for them and they are very good for outdoor room score. Immediately hire a gardener to take care of all the plants to keep the outdoor room score high. When you make a kitchen and dining area, enclose them in rooms. This will keep all the dirty dishes "inside" where they won't ruin the "outside" room score which will drag your mood down when you go to work. Secret: The main goal here is to get Malcolm to take his clothes off. The easiest way to make him strip is to play the "Pixel Booty" song on the synthesizer, but you need to have a synthesizer first. You can only unlock this object for buying by being in the Movie Star career at Goth Manor and getting promoted. In addition, you need to unlock the secret "Pixel Booty" song by visiting Goth Manor for Pixel Acres and playing their synthesizer with creative skill level 10. Then buy the synthesizer at Pixel Acres and play the song when Malcolm is there. He can't help himself when he hears the music! If you want to complete the visitation goals, you must complete goals in a certain order: First, visit Casa Caliente and relax on the bear skin rug. Invite Randy or Paisley to join you. The two of you will make out which unlocks Shiny Things Labs for visiting if you have not unlocked it yet. Then you need to make friends with Chase. This will unlock the "Tell Secret" social interaction. Then go visit Shiny Things Labs and tell Vaughn or Makino secrets. This will unlock Goth manor if you have not unlocked it yet. Go visit Goth manor and use their synthesizer with creative skill 10 to get rid of the synthesizer ghost and unlock the Pixel Booty song. Don't bother getting married her or raising a baby as you can do that at Malcolm's mansion later when you have free time. The unlocked reward objects for these goals are the same for all lots on which these goals exist. As per earlier levels, it a good idea to make friends with both Chase and Ying so you can unlock their secret social interactions. Also, make sure they both go to work each day so you can collect their paychecks. Tinsel Bluffs : This location comes very well furnished, but it is still missing an extra bed. Just sell some expensive art and then buy the most expensive bed you can afford. The main goal of getting Malcolm to put you in his movie has several requirements necessary before Malcolm will accept you as his star. An easier way to accomplish this goal is just to make Malcolm fall in love with you, then throw a party and ask him. Who says you can't sleep you way to the top? Secret: A meaner (but perhaps more satisfying) way to satisfy this goal is to make Malcolm hate your Sim. Then throw a party and attack him. To get you to stop beating him he will let you be in his movie. If you want to complete the visitation goals, you must complete goals in a certain order: First, Build you body skill up to >=5. Visit Club Rubb and play pool. Invite Bing to join you. You will win the game and unlock Shiny Things labs if you have not unlocked it yet. Next, get your mood high and visit Shiny Things labs. Find the brain in the jar and steal its ideas for a science fiction movie! This will unlock Toane's Gym for visiting if you have not unlocked it yet. Then, visit Toane's Gym and attack max or Goldie to complete that goal. Don't bother getting married her or raising a baby as you can do that at Malcolm's mansion later when you have free time. The unlocked reward objects for these goals are the same for all lots on which these goals exist. As per earlier levels, it a good idea to make friends with both Chase and Ying so you can unlock their secret social interactions. Also, make sure they both go to work each day so you can collect their paychecks. Malcolm's Mansion : This is effectively YOUR house to buy and sell stuff in, upgrade or destroy. Malcolm neither steals anything from it, nor are you charged or reimbursed for removing or adding value to it. The only thing you need to do is buy the best skill objects you can find to hasten the maximizing of all your skills so you can complete the last promotion in your career. Tip: how to get married easily: You can only marry Sims from one of the freeplay houses so don't waste time trying to propose to anyone else. Once you have managed to get one of the freeplay Sims to fall in love with you, invite them over to the mansion in the morning around 8 AM. Before they arrive, buy a hot tub and cook a group meal. Let them eat, and then let them use a bathroom. When they are done in the bathroom, get in the hot tub and make them join you there. They will stay in until one of their motives is maxed out. As soon as they get out of the hot tub, use the propose interaction. They should accept immediately. If they don't try again the next day, but improve the quality of your refrigerator and stove and increase your cooking skill. Tip: how to have a baby easily: You must be married. You and your spouse must be in a good mood. Keep kissing your spouse repeatedly until you get a dialog that asks you if you want a baby and say yes. Tip: how to take care of a baby: babies requires 3 days of almost constant care before they turn into a child. Attempt this goal AFTER you have got your last promotion and reward movie, and then pay NO attention to your main Sim - just let them autonomously do whatever they want. Put the baby in one of the bedrooms and only have the new spouse take care of them. Every single time the baby starts crying, use the following interactions on it in this order: Feed, sing, play. Repeat as necessary until the little whiner shuts up. When the spouse gets tired, only make them sleep in the bed near the baby because when the baby starts crying it will wake them up so they can immediately care for the baby. Tip: how to send a child to prep school quick: Always buy a telescope. This object can only be unlocked by getting the first paramilitary promotion at Shiny Things Labs. Make the child use the telescope when they are in a good mood to raise the grades rapidly to an A. Send the kid to school three days in a row with an A- or better and they will get into prep school! Tip: If you move out of the mansion to another location to start a new career, you will still be at career level 10. You can stay in that career level and keep getting fat paychecks as long as you want! Use the excess cash to turn your new home into a palace! Cheat: You can sell EVERYTHING in the mansion for well over $100,000 and not get charged for it when you move out. Then you can start a new career at Mimi's Place or Dudley's Trailer and use all that money to turn THEIR houses into mansions too! All that money will be returned to you when move out again, so you can basically turn every location into a huge mansion by the end of the game! Keep in mind; all careers need to finish up at the mansion, so you will need to build some sort of residence there later if you want to complete all the careers. Good Luck !!!
