Literally No Sim game IMO comes close to Bustin Out.
This game had the humour and atmosphere of the first game, but with much better graphics.
Sadly, this humour and atmosphere didn't translate over to The Sims 2 and beyond.
The story was also incredibly fun to play, and I remember the idea of having cars to so amazing back in the day.
Also, for some reason the locations you could live in this game were MUCH better than what you had in The Sims 2.
Which was so weird.
And who can forget Mom
And also to spoil your day, this game had pools
Let's praise this game
