The sims back then had a more adult vibe to it, busting out and the ads for old sims games possessed this more sultry type vibe, where as the sims 4 has just this kiddy phone app vibe
I know this comment is old, but I was just watching a sims4 vid earlier today about the secret society in one of the expansions… so tame. Older sims games wouldve had a field day w the idea
I played it and loved it! As a kid I was so scared of the death guy, the ghosts and the robber because there was always creepy music when they were coming
I played this game countless times, so you're not the only one! A few things I want to add: - Malcolm's top is only exclusive to him & there's no way to get it at all. - If you completed every career, you unlock the fountain & can finally sell the one in Malcolm's Mansion. - It's possible for Malcolm to stay at his place forever. Visit MM, wait for him to sleep, leave, & move in to MM. I don't think Mom can evict him this way? (It's been a long time) I don't encourage this. Having MM to yourself is more beneficial. - If you're lover makes friends with you friends, the lover's relationships will not decay unless the lover is residing that person's lot. - If all of the Sims in the current lot sleep & you're visiting, you'll be forced to be leave. Works vice versa if you're having guests. - There's a couple of ways to complete Mission: Exterminate Landgrabb. Miss Gyrotic with the exclusive action, trapping him with walls, get him in a room with a crying baby (I think it still works?), or setting him on fire (my favorite).
Memories of squinting at my CRT TV, playing this on my Gamecube with the volume on 1, at midnight, as a 13/14 year old just came flooding back. Thank you Kai!
Oh man this is super useful! The benefits of staying at Mom's House are a game changer! I had recently completed all careers with my Sim at 50% for each personality trait. To do it I basically took a day off work every 2nd or 3rd day. Employers are a hell of a lot more lax than the first PS2 sims!
Im currently at a point in my early adulthood where im not really wanting new things, so I've been getting GameCube and wii games for my Wii again. Getting this game for GameCube just last month really has me feeling like this is an amazing sims game. It had so much character and its downright hilarious.
Oh yes, I played this game while I was in middle school. I got it for Christmas, immediately tried it on my GameCube... only to realize I didn't have enough space on my memory card to play it because it needed a crazy amount of space to run properly. So, I had to wait 2 more days to go buy the biggest memory card at the time and finally play it. I'm pretty sure the save file is still on one of the memory cards I own😋
I remember my dad playing this game for days before I got onto it. I was only 9 at the time but I enjoyed it enough and really taught me how important it was to know how to read to know what you're doing.
I have soooo many fond memories of playing the first Sims game on PS2 for years, though I wish I knew bustin out was essentially an expansion of that game cause I tried every other fallow up which all feel short in charm and appeal
The fact that My sister and I was always fighting to get a turn on the ps2 just to play this game. We used to play the 2 player mode Anywho great video plum... i mean ink ribbon.... hehehhee
I was also completely stunned for a moment and even went back to check if I really saw Plumbella here or if I just associate her now with everything that has The Sims written over it 😂
As far as I can remember, electrocution was also a way to die. When you make a sim with low mechanical skill change a lightbulb. I remember pretty much clearly because that's how my first sim died and I was so damn scared of the Grim Reaper I told my mother, and she prohibited me to play the game again for a while lol
I was literally playing this game a few weeks ago after I finished my replay of Resident Evil: Dead Aim. I love Bustin' Out, and it's still my favorite Sims game to this day.
And I’ve put money in sims 4 ps4 DLC and yet I’m still finding myself getting my crystal original Xbox out and playing bustin out, the music the create a sim house is just much more flow
When I was a kid, this was a game me and my sister played a lot. I won't forget the time when we played a Sims game on the PS2, I don't think it was Bustin' Out, but what happened was we played it for so long we didn't know what time it was until we looked at the clock. And when we did, I think it was like 2 or 3 in the morning and everyone was asleep, so we turned off the game and went to sleep. Good times, just wished we looked at the clock more that night. Then maybe we wouldn't have stayed up so late.
Bustin Out and The Urbz are my favourites in the Sims console series! I don't get why The Urbz is hated - it's fun, and different in a good way. Sad they didn't make the sequel, but Sims 2 console is good too.
In the first console game, after you progressed through several levels, Mom did announce she marry him. So does this mean after it’s ending things went spectacularly wrong and went back to square one? lol
We really need a Some kind of Remake of this Game. For Steam or something. That would be so neat. I had it on the Gamecube back then with Urbz, Both were Awesome but i like Bustin' Out always more. Give us Bustin' out Remake or 2... (No DLC Please tho) with Working Coop.
Can you imagine if EA made a modern Sims game. They just going to add DLCs and constant loot boxes just to unlock a certain couch or clothing for your Sims character.
This is a surprise recomendation here kai XD. I only played the sims for a lil while but I've played a ton Simcity as a kid which the snes game still holds up personally.
Honestly Sims Bustin Out, and the Sims 3 (both PC and consol version) are my favorite sims games. Plus Bustin Out has a coop mode which was amazing fun back in the day.
Loved this game and the other console related Sims, recently finished Sims 2 Castaway on PS2 and i've got a save file to finish of Bustin Out. Pain in the ass trying to unlock everything for all the locations.
dude that pool latter thing. i was so evil as a child. if I wanted a sim to die I would not only use that without a pool, but evil child me would fucking put a glass table there for added effect. Truly unique experience to this game. I remember always trying to kill dudley that way but it just ends the game when he dies lmao
I rarely comment on videos but you did such a great job on this video that I had to take the time to give you respect! I was a super fan of the Sims on consoles growing up. I could hardly wait every year for the possibility of another Sims installment being announced. The Sims was truly an iconic game of my childhood that my friends and I loved to play together. Even after all these years, I found this stuff interesting.
here's something else I noticed about bustin' out: if you give the sims houses makeovers and then you move out of the house, the game will tell you how much the other sim owes you. source: I used to play bustin' out on my PS2 and I gave pretty much every sims house that I was a roommate for a makeober and they were super excited (from what I remember) and they owed my sim a LOT of money. 😅
This reminded me of my dad taking me to Family Video every Friday after school and I could rent one game and I always got The Sims Bustin Out for my Gamecube. Good times...time to pull up the emulator :D
I really enjoyed this game on the GameCube in my younger years I completed the story mode many times my favorite part was the castle mansion and the ghosts
Hell yeah I played this game! I think I probably put about 1000 hours into it on PS2 around 2005 going all the way up to 2016. Which was when I finally got a modern console and quit playing on PS2. But me not playing on my PS2 isn't by choice, it's because of some technical difficulties. But The Sims Bustin' Out is definitely my favorite Sims game, even now. The Sims 4 isn't even fun in comparison. Tho I've spent a lot of money on it anyways. And damn, I wish I could go back and play more Bustin' Out! I would create a new character and restart the story. Also, I loved Rod when I used to play it. The punk looking guy with the spikey hair and white t-shirt who lives in the freemode lots. Also, I see you make a lot of Resident Evil videos as well. I am so excited for the RE4 remake, it's my most anticipated game. So I'll probably sub to this channel.
This was a trip to watch! I played this game all the time as a kid -- and is probably why I'm a huge metalhead today lmao. Could you do a video like this looking at the easter eggs and secrets in Sims 2 for consoles and Urbz: Sims in the City? That would be cool to see!
I burst out laughing about halfway through the video, had absolutely no idea why, replayed back a little bit then realised the character the plant ate was called tits 😂
Just found your vidoes and subbed and been watching a lot of them lol. 6 months of development is insane with how much the game had. I have a decent sums collection but never owned busing out. I have a copy but its too damaged to work. One day I’ll play it
