I dunno, at first i found the micromanagement kind of compelling, especially because career rewards come pretty thick and fast if you play a lot. But once I'd settled into the routine of how a sim's life goes, and I could play pretty much any family with my eyes closed, the interest was in customising the game in terms of new furniture, walls etc, and also documenting my sims' lives so eventually i almost had a whole soap opera based around it. Plus I liked the house building element. But for some reason, I lost interest in it really suddenly, and none of the expansions since Livin' It Up/Livin' Large etc have really grabbed me. But I'm looking forward to the sequel.
I dunno about Bustin' Out, that's less open ended unless I'm mistaken. If you didn't like that, you're unlikely to enjoy a bona fide sims game.
