Important: Safety information about video games
About photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in
video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may
have an undiagnosed condition that can cause photosensitive epileptic
seizures while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of
symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching,
jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss
of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions
that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of
these symptoms. Adults who allow teenagers (or children) to play the games
should watch for or ask their children about these symptoms as they are more
likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive
epileptic seizures may be reduced by playing in a well-lit room and by not
playing when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have
a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Play safely
Take a break from playing games at least every half hour. Stop playing
immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience an unpleasant
sensation or pain in your hands and/or arms. If the condition persists, consult a
doctor. Use of vibration can aggravate injuries. Do not turn vibration on if you
have any ailment in the bones or joints of your fingers, hands, wrists, or arms.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your game card and game deck are products of superior design and
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will
help you protect your warranty coverage and enjoy your game for many years.
• Keep the game card and game deck dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types
of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic
circuits.
• Do not use or store the game card and game deck in dusty, dirty areas.
• Do not store the game card and game deck in hot areas.
• Do not store the game card and game deck in cold areas. When the game
deck returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside the game
deck and damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the game card or game deck other than as
instructed in the user guide.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the game card and game deck.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean
the game card or game deck.
• Keep the game card out of the reach of small children.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your game card, game deck, and
any enhancement.

WELCOME TO SIMVALLEY!
Hi y’all. This here is Uncle Hayseed welcoming you to the
friendliest little town in the Sim world - SimValley. I’m real
glad you accepted my invitation to come and spend the Summer
with us. I know you’ll have a pleasant stay and I’m sure you’ll
agree that though SimValley is small and the pace is a mite
slower here, there’s plenty of things to see and do. You’ll see your days here will fly by like a tin-roofed shack in a tornado.
Oh - and don’t worry about the locals. They’re a quirky bunch,
but they’ll learn to love you if you treat them nicely.
Just a few words of advice from your favourite wise old uncle:
make sure you take care of yourself and tend to your needs so
that you can put your best foot forward. Folks around here don’t
always take to strangers right away, so it’s best to keep
yourself presentable. You might think Sims can’t smell you
over the wafting smell of fertilizer or that anything
goes now that you’re in the great outdoors, but
think again. I know you weren’t raised in a
barn, so don’t act like it.
Oh - and just one more thing: nobody messes
with my chickens. Beware of provoking them
because it won’t just upset me, it might get you
into trouble with the wily ol’ rooster of the flock.

Bladder
If your Sim’s gotta go, they’ve gotta go. Get them to a
toilet in a hurry or they’ll suffer the embarrassing–and
messy!–consequences.
• Sims who don’t make it to the bathroom and are
caught short in public can expect to get arrested
for their unseemly behavior.
Fun
Balance out your Sim’s work and play. If your Sim spends
all their time working without any playtime, they’ll turn
grumpy in a hurry. Sims enjoy reading, dancing, watching
TV, and more.
Room
Your Sim is happiest in a tidy house. Make sure their
house is clean and that they spend enough time in the
home or they just might get homesick.
PASSING OUT
Should you fail to help your Sim meet their needs, your Sim
might pass out from exhaustion or hunger! Your Sim suffers
a decline in their motives/needs, but life goes on pretty
much as it did before. Depending on where your Sim is in
the game, they are transported to a spot where they can
recuperate and get back on their feet.
• Your Sim can also pass out due to fire or electrocution.
Be careful!
THE MISSIONS
There are five levels in
The Sims Bustin’ Out™
. Each level
can have up to six missions and each mission can have as
many as six goals.
• Press the
* Key
to see what your goals are for each level.
You can only view goals for levels that are unlocked.
MISSION 1: THE BARN
Fresh off the bus from the hustle and bustle of SimCity™, your
Sim takes a deep breath of fresh country air and reads
a note from Uncle Hayseed. Their first stop: Uncle Hayseed’s
farm. At Uncle Hayseed’s your Sim gets settled in and
inherits their first SimValley residence. That’s right: the
creaky, drafty, dusty and only slightly smelly old barn. It’s not
exactly the lap of luxury, but you can’t beat the price. There
are a number of tasks that your Sim can help out with around
the farm to get acquainted with how things are done in
SimValley. Remember to check your goals periodically to stay
on top of things
• Mower Madness mini game is available in this level
(see
The Mini Games
on p. 12).
0710113_ap_ug_fl_r02s 3/23/04 3:33 PM Page 10
[ 11 ]
ENGLISH
MISSION 2: THE BARN REDUX
Once you’ve settled into the farm, it’s time for your Sim to
branch out into life beyond the farm fences. In this mission,
Uncle Hayseed needs some help recovering his escaped chickens. This venture takes your Sim out into the neighbourhood
where they meet some of the locals and get acquainted with
the lay of the land around the farm. If your Sim can accomplish this level’s tasks, it might be time for them to look for a
newer - and better smelling - home.
• The Smoothie Slider mini game is available in this level
(see
The Mini Games
on p. 12).
MISSION 3: THE CLOCK TOWER
At last, a real home without the smell of manure and the
squawk of roosting chickens! The central location of your
Sim’s new home in the Clock Tower makes getting around
town more convenient. Plus, the view of and from the balcony
is to die for. If your Sim networks with the right people and
works hard, in time they might be able to move on to an even
nicer place.
• The Bait Flinger and Powerlifter mini games are
available in this level (see
The Mini Games on
p. 12).
MISSION 4: WATERFRONT VILLA
Your city slicker Sim is finally being accepted by the locals and
can make their way from the library to the Condemned dance
club. Through hard work and saving their Simoleons, your
Sim is finally ready to be a homeowner! These small homes
need work, but they’re a great value for a first home.
Continue to work hard at developing skills, earning a few
extra Simoleons and building relationships with the other
residents of SimValley. This first home might prove
to be just a step towards another, more impressive home.
• The Jam Session and Pizza Pandemonium mini games
are available in this level (see
The Mini Games
on p. 12).
MISSION 5: IMPERIAL ESTATES
Congratulations! Your Sim has done very well! They’ve worked
hard enough to afford the swankiest house in SimValley. Your
Sim wakes up to a glorious view of their poolside estate and
has the space and resources to host the hottest parties in
town. But that’s not all - if your Sim can complete the goals
in this level, the rewards could be "unexpected"!
• The Cliff Diver X and Petri Dish mini games are available
in this level (see
The Mini Games
on p. 12).
PARADISE ISLAND
Even Sims need a little R and R sometimes. When your
Sim has had enough of their nine-to-five, set them up
in their very own holiday home on Paradise Island.
0710113_ap_ug_fl_r02s 3/23/04 3:33 PM Page 11
ENGLISH
Unlocking Paradise Island:
From the auction computer in the SimValley library, Bluetooth
connect your N-Gage Gamedeck to unlock Paradise Island (see
Bluetooth Multiplayer Game Play
on p. 13).
Tip:
Once unlocked, look for a small motorboat along the
docks to take you to the Island. The location will forever
be a second home for your Sim to enjoy!
THE MINI GAMES
There are nine mini games, detailed below, through which
your Sim can earn some cold, hard cash.
Tip
: Sims can also earn money by collecting various items
found throughout the game (aluminum cans, glass jars, etc.)
and selling them at the Chem Lab. Prices can change daily so
get ‘em there fast!
Mower Madness
Deftly maneuver the lawn mower, taking
down the nasty weeds while avoiding
Uncle Hayseed’s favourite flowers and
steering clear of mower-wrecking
rocks–all within the allotted time.
Smoothie Slider
Help out at the Biker Bar by slinging the sauce
out to thirsty patrons. Serving the correct drinks
earns better tips. Also, the more served, the
merrier your Simoleon balance will be.
Bait Flinger
Navigate the peaceful waters of SimValley
lake with the new SimLure2000. Dexterously
controlling this lure from the dock, your Sim’s
goal is to catch as many fish as possible. The
bigger the fish, the higher the selling price.
Powerlifter
This game is all about brawn, not brains.
Your Sim must lift their weights as many
times as possible within the time limit.
Liftmore for a heavier payout.
Jam Session
If your Sim has the music in them, this
might be their favorite way to earn
Simoleons. Keep in time and in tune
with the music and your Sim earns
some notes–of the Simoleon type.
Pizza Pandemonium
This game challenges your Sim to make the
perfect pizza. Create a pizza identical to the
demo pie within the given time and your
Sim earns some dough.

ENGLISH
Cliff Diver X
Impress the crowd and the judges with your
high-diving skills. You’ve three dives in which
to perform as many tricks as possible before
hitting the water. If the judges rate your Sim’s
dives higher than the competition, your Sim
wins some prize money.
Petri Dish
Your Sim must eliminate the amoebas in the dish.
They must be linked by color, but watch out for
the mutagens–you might just lose your link.
Darts
Use the
Controller Key
to guide the dart cursor to
the desired area of the dartboard, and hit the
5 Key
to throw the dart. The points you score
are subtracted from your total. Go from 201
points to 0 points as quickly as possible to win!

The N-Gage™ Arena allows players to download other
players' best performances and compete against them in an
attempt to beat their time in competitions called Shadow
Racing. Every victory will earn you points, and every loss will
cost you points, all depending on the rank of the player you
are challenging.
If you win, you will be able to send a message to the player
you have defeated - why not challenge them to a rematch?
Tip
: By playing in the N-Gage™ Arena it may also help you
to unlock some custom objects.
