The Sims :  Bustin' Out :  Features :  Cheats

You want cheats, and cheats you shall receive. Start by performing the Reveal Gnome cheat, which should place a gnome by the mailbox of whichever house you're visiting.

For additional help, check out the game tips just below the cheats, or check out our Walkthrough guides for either the console or the Game Boy Advance version of The Sims Bustin' Out.

NOTE: All directions (up, down, left, right) specified in the cheats refer to the directional pad on the controller, and not the thumbstick.

NOTE: Be Quick! All cheats must be completed within a set amount of time - typically 1.5 seconds!

NOTE: All cheats are for the console versions of Bustin' Out only.

Helpful Hints
Become a Momma’s Sim
At the beginning of the game, refrain from getting a job. Stay at Mom’s House building up skills and making friends. Since several motives don’t decay at Mom’s (most notably energy, so you won’t have to sleep) and you don’t have to go to work, you’ll be able to build up skills very quickly.

Take time off for personal development
If you haven’t fulfilled the necessary requirements for a promotion, move back into Mom’s House. Instead of spending an unproductive day at work, you’ll be able to build up your skills and make friends. When you’re ready, move back into the appropriate lot and nab that promotion.

Call a rich friend
Create two Sims on two memory cards. Load one, sell everything at Mom’s House, and save. Load the other and allow the Sim who sold everything to join as the second player. Make the rich Sim empty his or her steamer trunk of money. This should net you about 50,000 Simoleans. Repeat if necessary.

Rely on charity

Spend all of your money. When you do, you should start receiving money via telephone calls. As long as you keep draining your account back to zero by buying more stuff, the calls will keep coming. When you’re done, sell everything you bought.
Sleep is for the weak
Instead of sleeping at night, just touch a bug zapper over and over again. Your energy will increase and your comfort will decrease. You’ll be able to gain energy much faster than if you slept. Be sure to have a comfy chair nearby though, for the lost comfort.

Drink Up!
Drinks made with the drink bar refill energy, fun, and food. If you turn your roomies into drink mixing slaves you’ll never have to sleep, eat, or worry about having fun.

Game Boy Advance
Link up the GBA and Purchase the Game Cabinet, using this to play any of the Mini Games will reward the Sim with extra cash sometimes more then the sim can make going to work in some career levels.
