The Sims Bustin' Out is the second title in The Sims console series. This version of Bustin' Out was released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, in the fourth quarter of 2003. As the title suggests, Sims can get out of the house to visit other locations such as Shiny Things Lab or Casa Caliente. There are two modes. Bust Out Mode which has mission based gameplay and Freeplay Mode which is open-ended gameplay very much like the original The Sims PC game. It was the first Sims game to not be on the PC. The PlayStation 2 version also features the option to play online, though EA no longer supports it as of August 15, 2004.

[edit] Gameplay
In the console version, Malcolm Landgraab is going around the neighborhood, repossessing items in return for unpaid rent. The player's objective is to complete each career track, unlock and buy back everyone's possessions, and become rich enough to evict Malcolm from his mansion and move their own Sim in.
There are various locations Sims may visit throughout the course of the game. As Sims advance through the game, new areas become accessible. New social interactions may also be learned at a particular location.
