Now you can give your Sim a job, a car, a house and a social life, and see where your virtual life leads you. In The Sims Bustin' Out, they're in the big wide world, where truly anything is possible. Those little computer people, The Sims, are no longer housebound. But now it's time for them to leave home. You've cared for them, nurtured them and watch them grow.
