Bustin Out, like most PS2 games, achieves online multiplayer by connecting directly to the other player (Peer to Peer Networking), the host being whoever invited the other sim to play. you can’t cheat your funds to 1 million by hacking your client’s simulator. The first is the architecture of the games – TSO’s host simulator is run on our MMO server, so that it can access our database and so that every action that occurs is “trusted”… eg. Since the simulation is deterministic, both the client and host should be synced up the entire time the game is running.

Their online code is surprisingly similar – the lot data is uploaded from the host to the client, both start simulating the lot at the same time, then the client simply runs the same commands (interactions, go here, cancel interactions) as the server at the exact same time, with the exact same random number seed.

The Sims Online and The Sims: Bustin Out Online Weekend are the only two online multiplayer modes ever implemented in full scale The Sims games. If you have some friends interested in playing Bustin’ Out’s story mode or checking out this obscure online mode, go right ahead! (it’s more a nostalgia trip than anything you can play for weeks) This isn’t exactly easy, so it probably won’t be worth setting up if you have trouble with this kind of thing. NOTE: You need The Sims Bustin’ Out for PS2, and the PCSX2 emulator set up.

The server is hosted here on ! If you want to know how to connect, or all of the juicy details of how this got going, check out the description on GitHub! All of the server code is open source, and more details on how to connect are available here: With these servers, you can now play one on one sessions in the Bustin’ Out challenge mode with players you find via an online lobby. Thanks to the reverse engineering efforts of the Need for Speed community (in like, 2003!), Blayer from our own community, and a day implementing everything from scratch from me, we have our own lobby server called “Breakin’ In”. Hey everyone! I’d like to announce a quick side project I made to bring back long lost servers for another online Sims game: The Sims: Bustin’ Out! (PS2)
