Chase Skurtz

Chase Skurtz is a Sim in The Sims: Bustin' Out.

Chase and his friend Ying Yangst run the controversial Pixel Acres known for its liberal "clothing optional" policy, arts n' crafts fairs, and frequent all night parties. Chase basically just wants to have fun and be "creative" with his friends, but Malcolm Landgraab and his buddies at The Octagon want to shut the place down. The player is given an objective to help Chase get Malcolm arrested by the police for indecent exposure. This goal can easily be completed by having all ten (10) creativity skills. If you have the symphony synthesizer and can afford it (it's about 5,700 simoleons) get it and go to Goth Manor to help out with their "ghost problem" by playing theirs. You'll unlock "Pixel Booty". When you have time and the energy (or your spouse (if you have one) can do it and half the goal will be completed) throw the party, invite Malcolm, and once he's there get your sim to play the organ (as it can be known as) and watch everyone strip down to nothing. After awhile the police officer will show up and say something like, "Well, well, well, Nature Boy. Looks like we caught you in the progress. It looks like you owe (your sims name) a nice award". This message is an indication that Malcolm is arrested and you've completed this goal. Another way, which is the hard way is by throwing a party, being friends with everyone, doing whatever you need to keep them there, and then asking everyone to become free. This procedure is very hard because friendship is crucial to this goal and conditions of the property can minimize your chances or success. So that's why you should use the organ since it's much easier and people have no choice but to take their clothes off.

There is another mission, which is to find someone interested in Chase's secret formula. The players have to be friends with Chase. After that, visit the Shiny Things Lab (if unlocked), and tell secrets to Vaughn Braun or Makino Nada to complete the goal.

Chase wears a white shirt, khaki trousers, and sandals. Like Peter Tutti, Chase has long, reddish-orange hair. Chase's appearance in general shows that he's a hippie. When the players first move into Pixel Acres, Chase or Ying will say, "Welcome back. A bit over-dressed aren't you?" This is another way of proving that Pixel Acres is a nudist community. Warning: Chase is a bit romantic.

For it's lack of structure when you first move in due to no rooms for beds and any actual entertainment such as watching television and listening to the radio, Pixel Acres is probably the best lot to experiment with building houses and customizing them. If you decide to rearrange the lot by putting in rooms the best spot to put in a rather large room is where the beds are and the east bathroom (you can tear this down eventually and put in the big room). For this room you have space to have an indoor kitchen, entertainment suite (or miniature living room), a room for the beds in the far right corner, a place for one of the dining tables and chairs, and to be serious about dress-code by putting in a dresser or a nice Armoir (a tall, well-spaced dresser with outside drawers). The current residents will appreciate this opportunity of having better moods and more privacy. For the outside you can put in things that are normally kept outside (if you have it) or on patios and increase room and fun. Parties, especially, will be easier by leaving the outdoor kitchen and the other dining table and chairs (items that you didn't put in the "entertainment" room).
