The Sims Bustin Out

Simulation gameplay provides an opportunity to visit various locations and leave one's home. In the mission-based Bust Out mode, players begin at Mom's house, learning that Malcolm Langrabb is repossessing items from all Sim homes. The goal is to gather enough money to buy back the goods and eventually evict him from his own mansion.

The game features an open-ended Freeplay mode alongside its new features. One can now visit and move between houses as single-player progression advances, as well as play online multi-player mode for 2 players on the Gamecube, although servers have since been shut down.
