Created by @loveliversealynnsimblr and myself! Bustin’ Out was our favorite Sims series as children ♥
Based off The Sims: Bustin’ Out, but replicated as closely as possible in The Sims 4! Not sure if anyone’s made something like this, but this is our version of it at least.
This is a 7 generation challenge, however if you want to alter a few of the goals and finish everything in one go like the original game (aging off / long lifespan), go ahead! The choice is yours ♥
If you do decide to do this and document your gameplay, use the #sims4bustout tag! We’d love to see!
GENERAL RULES:
No money cheats! You can use freerealestate for yourself and the Mom sim to get started if you wish, but try not to use any afterwards. Bring the funds down to $100 or so for bills afterwards.
We don’t own all the Expansion/Game packs! So, if you don’t have everything we do or if you actually have everything, replace it with what you think will fit! (Trait/Aspiration mods will work too!)
When a child becomes a Young Adult, the next generation begins! If you’re playing this with aging off/one sim only like the actual game, you can ignore!
Can play on whatever lifespan you’d like! (We usually play on Normal)
Have fun!
Optional:
After every 2 promotions, house hop and move in with a different friend (just like the actual Bustin’ Out game!)
For the [Your Choice] Traits, if you have trouble picking, use the Sim Generator!
