The Sims 2 (GBA)

The Sims 2 for Nintendo Game Boy Advance takes place in Strangetown, and shares a similar GUI and gameplay to its predecessors (The Sims Bustin' Out and The Urbz: Sims in the City). In it, players create Sims to star in a TV series called 'Strangetown'. The player's Sim then stars in 12 episodes of the series. In between episodes, the Sim plays mini games and socializes with other Sims. But how do you get outside?
