'''''The Sims Bustin' Out''''' is the second title in ''[[The Sims (console)|The Sims]]'' console series. ''Bustin' Out'' was released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance and N-Gage in the fourth quarter of 2003. As the title suggests, [[Sim]]s can get out of the house to visit other locations such as ''Shiny Things Lab'' or ''[[Caliente Family|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.

The Game Boy Advance version puts the player's Sim in a place called "[[SimValley]]" for summer holiday. Like the console version, GBA version gameplay is objective-based - every time the player completes a series of tasks, the game is allowed to progress. In this game, there are no furnishing objects to unlock. Instead, the player must complete all tasks to unlock new houses.

Deviating from the "point-and-click" selection process heretofore used in every ''Sims'' title, this version allows the user to control their Sim directly, using the GBA's directional pad.
