About this Guide If you have any suggestions, complaints, questions, or constructive criticism about this guide, email me at 1337FAQs(at)gmail(dot)com. This guide is meant to show you how to beat "The Urbz: Sims in the City" and have a lot of fun doing so. And to get you through any parts that you may be stuck on. Therefore I will not be including excruciating details or unnecessary features, like what all of the characters conversation stats and descriptions. I have found it to be a million times easier to just guess rather than researching every little option. About Email, I will commit to reading all emails sent to me, (excluding emails recognized as spam) but I will only answer if the email is directly relevant to this guide, or to the Urbz game. If you have a question about the game that is clearly stated in the guide, I may simply reply with what section it is or something like that. If you are offering help or corrections, please include what name you wish to be credited by. I check my mail at least every other day unless I am on a trip or unavailable. I always hope you like my guides, but if you don't, you can either sit there and cry about it or you can email me. I make my own ASCII art by the way. .----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | b.

THE URBZ: SIMS IN THE CITY / |______________________________/ .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | a. Game Introduction The object of " The Urbz: Sims in the City " is to create an urb (you) and fight through the hardships of social life in your own little virtual world. You start out at the bottom, and work your way to the top of the Urbz food chain. You have to get a house and a job and a reputation like in real life. Except smaller. To give you something to do other than live, (that would be really boring) EAgames has given you "missions" to complete. There is no time limit to these missions, (just do them when you feel like) but you cant do the mission 5 ones (for example) until you finish 1, 2, 3, and 4. And after the first five sets of missions, there is mission s and the rep missions which are explained in their appropriate sections. The missions are kind of the point of the game and the story line, but it is also fun to accessorize, pimp up your house, work on getting promoted in your jobs, etc. (see "Beyond the Missions" section) Mabe I have sounded a little critical of this game so far. I actually think The Urbz is one of the best "near launch" titles there is for the DS. I had a lot of fun with this game, but I often got stuck on some of the missions. That is why I am writing this guide for you, to help you through those tough parts and also to help you make the most of this game. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | b.

The fourth Sim Valley as well as how many skill is the Goals menu. And the fifth points that you have and how many rep displays your pockets. points you have with each rep group. Your popularity is also displayed here. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 2. CREATING YOUR URB / |______________________/ When you start an new game, (touch 'create an urb') you will go to a part where you can make a virtual version of yourself to play as in the game. Actually, you don't have to make yourself. You could play as who you hope to be in the future, or someone famous... (my brother made an A-Rod look alike with a blue afro) Remember that what you choose as the features of your urb are permanent (except for the clothes). The only way to change it is to start over, or get the Artsie super item (see section 13.a.) . But none of the appearance will directly affect the gameplay. First you make your name. Then you can change your hair, and skin color, then your cloths, then you will be asked some questions to determine some things about your urb. This first one is extremely important. It decides your Rep Group. The first choice will make you a streetie, the next one a nerdie, richie, artsie. (see section 4 for more info on rep groups) The next questions will determine the Xizzles you can get during the game. Just answer them like normal questions and you probably won't be dissapointed. At the End, you will see what xizzles you have unlocked. If you are unhappy with the results, just press B and redo it. And your adventure begins... .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 3. REP GROUPS / |____________________/ When you create your urb, you will get to choose your rep group by answering the first question that comes up after choosing your appearance.(see section 2) You will become either a Richie, Streetie, Nerdie, or Artsie. Each group has their leader, rival group, clubhouse, the lot. You can switch your rep group by getting full rep points with that group, and then talking to the leader. (That is the only way to get all of the super rep items) .-----------------------------------------------. |Richies leader: Luthor L. Bigbucks | |Streeties leader: Darius | |Artsies leader: Roxanne Moxie | |Nerdies leader: Polly Normial | `-----------------------------------------------' To rise in the ranks in yours and other rep groups, you have to earn rep points. There are many ways to earn them: Complete the rep mission Gain 100 rel with that rep leader gain 50+ rel with the other members of that group find their rep group trophy (see 13.b) get 10 skill points in the category that corresponds to that group have a room mate that is a member of your group get the leader of the rival rep group to -5 rel This shows who the rivals of each group are. .-------------------------. |Richies: Streeties| |Artsies: Nerdies | |Streeties: Richies | |Nerdies: Artsies | `-------------------------' .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 4. URBZ BEYOND THE MISSIONS / |_____________________________/ There are some things you have to know to play this game. I have tried to include as much of it in here as I can. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | MOTIVES Motives are those little green bars at the bottom of the top screen. You have to keep them somewhat full or else you may faint, pee your pants, fall asleep, etc. Here are some ways to keep your meters up, and some special items that can help. Entertainment: Watch TV, play games, or admire something. Hunger: Eat something. Comfort: Sit or sleep on a bed or couch or chair. Hygiene: Take a shower or wash your hands. Sleep: Sleep on a bed, couch, or bench. Social: Talk to people. Bladder: Take a pee. Home: Admire something or go to your house. There are some items that will aide you in refilling your motives other than regular items like a toilet or a bed. They are: the Magic Lamp, which gives you access to a bed and toilet no matter where you are, and the Sensory Deprivation Chamber, which refills all motives. (see section 13.a.) .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | SKILL POINTS Skill points can help you earn a promotion in minigames, and allow you to do certain stuff better. Like when you paint on an easel, you make crap at 1 creativity, but at 10, you make masterpieces, which you can sell for lots of cash. They are divided into 5 categories; Logic, Charisma, Creativity, Body, Cooking, and Mechanical. Skill points are displayed in the rep groups section. Here are some ways you can earn them: The University - it holds classes in which you can pay to take an easy test that raises a skill point in either cooking, creativity, logic, or mechanical, depending on what time you go there. Look at the little chart by the desk to see the times. Heidi the Cheat Ninja - see section 13.f Skill items - Weights, when you use them, will give you a body point - the Chess Table will give you a logic point when you use it - any mirror will give you a charisma point when you use it - and there are many others. Too many to list here. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | POPULARITY Your popularity is measured in % and can be checked in the rep group section. Popularity is determined by what rel all of the other urbz are with you. For example, if every single urb is at rel 50, then you have 50% popularity. So on missions that you have to get up to a certain pop, just talk to people and get their relationship up. Some things to remember about relationships are: if you call someone, they go up one rel point everyones rel goes down one each day people at negative rel go up one each day get the G'd up and All Up Ons xizzles as soon as possible If you are having trouble impressing someone, go to the characters section (14) and look up which character you want. I should have a small tip on getting their relationship up. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 5. MISSION 1 / |____________________/ .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 1: Slave to the Grind - play "Squeegee Clean" Kris Thistle will talk to you and tell you to squeegee clean some windows. Go over to the big S and play the minigame. Once you are done, you will have some money, and Kris will talk to you again. - befriend Kris Thistle Talk by touching conversation options and get her rel (relationship) up to 30. - give Kris your squeegee and bucket Talk to her and touch "friendly stuff." Then give her the squeegee and bucket. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 2: Get Cleaned Up - take a shower Take the elevator to the gym and shower. - take a nap Go to the lobby and select "sleep" by the bench. - eat something from the vending machine The food is free. The vending machine is in the Lobby. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 3: Help Kris Thistle - move the bed to the suite Move the bed thats next to the law office in your pocket, then put it in the suite. To save money in the future, put the bed, toilet, and shower in your pocket after you set the bed down. You'll see why later. - repair the television Go to the TV that was by the bed and select repair. (you might die, just retry it if you do.) Whoa, a dude just came out of the TV! Lets talk to him... After you talk, you will have unlocked goals for mission S. - repair two drinking fountains Just go around all of the floors and check the fountains. If it says "repair," then you select that and repeat for one more. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 4: Get the Key - earn one mechanical skill point After talking to Kris, go to the bench near the TV and select "Study Mechanical." - pick the lock to Lily Gates office Simple, go to her door in the Law Offices and select "pick lock." - find the key Look in the far left part of the far left bookshelf for some simoleons. Then look in her desk for the key. Oh No! You got caught! Bigbucks will send you to jail, so getting out is the next goal. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 5: Get out of Jail - befriend Detective Dan (rel 30) Fill up your motives, then talk to Dan, getting him up to rel 30. - answer Dan's questions He will ask you some weird stuff and if you answer wrong, you have to start over. So to the first question, say anything, it doesn't matter. Next, pick the second option, then the first, then the first, then the first one again. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 6: Find a Place to Live - play the Hoopz minigame Once you are out, go upstairs of the jail and play hoops between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. - earn $150 for rent and taxes Play hoops or sell recyclables to the deputy. DO NOT SELL TRASH. If you sell the piles of trash you find, you wont be able to complete the Artsies rep mission. - buy a house Go to the sign in front of the small apartment and move in. You can use the furniture that you have in your pocket from the suite rather than having to buy it. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 6. MISSION 2 / |____________________/ .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 1: Work Study - befriend Maximillian Moore (rel 30) Max is the doctor who hangs out near the Hospital. Talk mainly about clean things and the city to get his rel up. - give the artemisia plant to Max Go to the far left corner of Urbania where the roadblock is and to the right is a garbage dumpster and the artemisia plant should be near. Once you pick it up, run as fast as you can back to Max and give it to him. If you don't give it before the meter runs out, the dead plant will stay in your pockets. The only way to get rid of it is to talk to Max again and he will remove it for you. - write a doctoral thesis Berkley Clodd will have a ! on his head and he'll say you can buy a thesis off him. DON'T BUY IT. it's a waste of money, Max won't accept it. To write your thesis, go to the Miniopolis Chronicle building and on the computer, select "do research." Do this 3 or 4 times again, then select "write thesis." If it says, "you have writer block, study hard and try again," then research more and, well, try it again. Once it is done, give it to Max, and that will unlock the Dr.Max Stat minigame and the university, where you can get your skill points up. The University holds classes in which you can pay to take an easy test that raises a skill point in either cooking, creativity, logic, or mechanical, depending on what time you go there. Look at the little chart by the desk to see the times. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 2: Gotta Finish the Riff - befriend Cannonball Coleman (rel 30) When Phoebe Twiddle has a ! above her head, talk to her to unlock this goal. Start out by getting Cannonball Coleman to rel 30. He's a nice dude, so it shouldn't be hard. Once you do, he'll ask you to finish his song. (see below.) - give a saxophone reed to Cannonball Coleman Go to the store and buy the saxophone reed for $50. Then when you are talking to Coleman, touch friendly stuff, then give a gift, then the sax reed. - earn creativity 1 Cannonball won't let you finish the song until you have critiqued the graffiti on the dumpster at the top of Urbania. That'll getcha a creativity. - finish Cannonball's song Go back to Cannonball and say that you are ready to help him with his song. If you are having trouble finding him, call him on your phone and check the map for the location that he gave you. (you may not be able to get to him now) As for the song, first choose the last option, then the second option, then the second one, then the first one. Once you have completed Goal 2, you have unlocked the comedian minigame in the pizza place. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 3: Race for Glory - give Dusty $500 for renovations Find Dusty and talk to him. He will tell you about his new track and how he needs money. Once you have it, give it to him. - talk to Ewan Watahamee Talk to him and he will say to bring him lunch for three days. - bring Ewan lunch for 3 days (12-1 p.m.) It was a little hard for me to remember, just keep 3 corn dogs in your pocket and make an effort to find Ewan at 11 or so. Talk to Dusty Hogg, and you will have unlocked the motocross minigame, which is one of my favorites. For the motocross minigame, you can customize your bike for maximum performance on the track. I have experimented and I believe this to be the best combination of upgrades: Chassis Medium Suspension Sport Engine Dragster Nitrous Tank Large Tires Racing Accessory Super Nitro Overall this will cost $3645. If you come up with a better combination, email it to me and I will try it out and mabe change this. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 4: Salesmanship - attend an auction between 5 and 7 p.m. Talk to Berkley Clodd when he has a ! on his head, then go to the thrift store between 5 and 7 p.m. - acquire the shrunken head Auction for the shrunken head. If you are good enough, you can get it for less than $200. - give the shrunken head to Berkley Clodd Give it to him and he will give you the hoverboard. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 5: Club Xizzle - take Crystal out on the town Find Crystal and talk to her about club xizzle. Then she will say you have to show her a good 24 hours. - get a bite to eat Go strait to the pizza place and give her a piece of pizza. - play a game Go to the arcade games in the pizza place and boogey down. - go shopping If you go to the thrift store, Crystal will tell you she wants something more street-y. - buy Crystal a gift So go to the street vendor and buy her a rose or something. Once you complete it, you will be shown a cutscene showing you the door to club xizzle. You need a code to get in, which is BUCKET. You can now trade xizzle beads for xizzles! See section 13.b for the locations of some free xizzle beads that you can use to buy xizzles. I recommend getting the "Sell Out" xizzle first, since you need it now more than ever. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 6: Road to Sim Quarter - make three friends After you finish all of the previous goals, talk to Gramma Hattie. She is planning a rally and needs you to prove your worth. To get three friends, talk to people and get their rel to 50 or higher. - raise $500 for the cause Work at doing the below goal to help you get the $. - earn 2 promotions in local jobs Touch Jobs on the Urb Info page to see what you need to do to get a promotion in a certain job. Do what it says twice for two jobs to complete this goal. * tip: on the motocross mayhem, to go faster on jumps, when you are in mid-air, push right on the D-pad to lean forward and go faster. But before you land, press left so you don't crash on a hill.* Once you complete the goals, a cutscene will show the rally and Bigbucks getting all mad about it. Then the way to Sim Quarter will be cleared! Feel free to explore around and talk to the new people. Mabe even move into the Townhouse. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 7. MISSION 3 / |____________________/ .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 1: Mission for the Mann - play Moogoo Monkey Find Det. Dan and he will say that he needs an "inside man." You have to go to Salty's Riverboat to play the Moogoo Monkey minigame. Once you play a game, Guiseppi will come talk to you and tell you to check the bulletin board. - follow the directions on the bulletin board Go to the Miniopolis Chronicle and look at the bulletin board. The first post will say to search the shrubbery near the museum. When you do, you will find a slip of paper that reads "the answer you seek lies beyond the grave." That means you have to go to the graveyard. (NOTE: you must complete goal 3 before you can do any more) Go to the second little section of the graveyard that was blocked off earlier. Search the tombstones until you find another note. It pretty much says you have to go talk to Berkley Clodd. (hence the "feather in his hat") He will give you a briefcase. - give the mysterious briefcase to Det. Dan Find Dan and give it to him, and he will rig it with a microphone. - give the rigged briefcase to Giuseppi Now take the briefcase to Guiseppi and give it to him. He makes a comment about a million simoleans... bet you wish you still had that case, huh? But at least now you will be able to play Moogoo Monkey. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 2: Daddy Bigbucks and the Xizzle Factory - earn creativity 5 Talk to Lily Gates to hear the story. To get 5 creativity, go to the university between 10 and 1 p.m. until you have 5 points. You may need to do some jobs to get the money. - convince Ewan to fix the factory (rel 50) Get Ewan at rel 50. Easy enough. - challenge and beat Dusty Hogg (6-7 p.m.) Play motocross mayhem between 6 and 7 p.m. and beat Dusty Hogg. When you do, you can get his Chopper. It is so sweet. You can even change the colors. - convince Polly to help at the factory (rel 50) It may be a little hard to get her at rel. 50 but if you just keep trying, you may learn a little about her that will make it easier. After you complete Goal 2, you can buy new xizzles. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 3: None Shall Pass - earn body 5 or charisma 5 Talk to Gramma Hattie and she will say she needs a bigger protest so she is having meetings that you have to keep intruders from disturbing. To get 5 skill points, lift weights a lot, or study mirrors to get body and charisma. - meet at the cemetery between 11 p.m. and 12 a.m. Once you have done that, go to the cemetery at the said time and talk to Gramma Hattie. - guard the cemetery for four hours Various people will appear to try and sneak in to the party. They will ask you certain questions and you have to reply exactly right to get them to leave. It can be hard, so I will tell you exactly what to say. When Daddy Bigbucks comes by, select the first talking option, then the second option, then the second again, and for the remainder of the conversation, say the first option on the list. He will go away, then Lily Gates will come on by. For Lily Gates first the second option, then the second again, then the first, then the second, then the first, then the third option and she will leave. Hooray, the meeting was a success. Afterwards, Gramma Hattie will give you her cookbook. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 4: Get on the List - earn rep 2 with your group Talk to Cannonball Coleman and he will tell you what to do. To get rep point 2, try getting the other members in your group at 50 rel, getting your leader at 100 rel, and/or getting the leader of your groups' rival club at rel -5. - take tickets: 2-5 a.m. (club Zydeco) Go to club Zydeco between 2-5 a.m. and let everyone pass except for Richies. If you do it right, you get a Golden Fiddle which will get you x2 $ at the fiddler minigame once you unlock it. If you accidently let a Richie in, or refuse someone else, you lose and you can't retry it. But don't sweat, life goes on. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 5: High Society - find a curator Talk to Luthor L. Bigbucks and he will say that he needs a place to crash. So of course, you have to help him. He wants to reopen the museum, and to do that, you need to find a curator Talk to Roxie. She has a friend on the west coast who needs $300 to fly to miniopolis. - purchase one museum exhibit Go to the museum during hours and go up to one of the blank exhibits and "purchase this exhibit." The way the museum works is, Once you purchase an exhibit, every week, you will get a check for 10% of the price of the exhibit that you purchased. If you purchase all of them, you will get $1,000 every week. In 10 weeks, that pays it off and after that, you are making a profit. - give $300 to Roxie for travel expenses If you need money do one of your jobs. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 6: The Ballad of Pepper Pete - find a sailors coat Talk to Mambo Loa. She wants to stop Salty from selling the riverboat, so of course, you have to do it for her. To stop him, you need a costume to pretend to be Pepper Pete, Salty's long lost brother. To find the first item on the list, the sailors coat, go to the thrift store in Urbania and search the cloths rack closes to the left wall. - find a fake beard Talk to Pritchard Locksley. He will sell you a beard for $300. You need a white beard. - find a sailors cap You can find the sailors cap online via one of the computers in the coffee house. It will take a few days to arrive. - give costume items to Mambo Loa Go talk to Mambo and she will change you into what looks like Pepper Pete. Now you have to walk down to the Riverboat. - talk to Olde Salty Go to the Riverboat and talk to Olde Salty. After a small conversation, he will walk over to Daddy B. and then Daddy B. will get all emo again and walk over to you. Holy crap, he throws you all the way to the bayou. You are greeted by two hill billies that think you're a vampire. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 8. MISSION 4 / |____________________/ .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 1: The Greatest Fear - prove to Clem you aren't a vampire You must say certain thins to get them to believe you are human. Just act non-vampirish like saying that you like garlic ice cream for example. If you mess up, you have to wait a day to talk to Clem again and you'll have to get him at rel 30. Then he will tell you prove yourself by going in the dark tree. - find the Dark Tree (note: Don't sell your nuclear fuel rods that you find here, you'll need them for a later mission.) Travel to the end of the bayou and go in the big tree. You will see Bigbucks and get scared. You have to find a light source to help you through the dark tree. - find a light Midway between Boo and Clem's house and the dark tree, there is a little path leading up with a man-eating plant guarding a glowing stick. Go up to the plant and it will attack you. Press B lots of times to beat the plant and get the glowing rod. - capture the Albino Alligator Talk to him for a piece of a locket. Then go talk to Boo. If he is not at the shack, he will be in the southern part of the bayou that is all stone. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 2: Fiddle with the Red Man - meet at the hickory stump at midnight Clem will tell you also to take on the crazy red man. He appears at the big stump near the dark tree at midnight. Fill your motives, then go over there and wait till midnight. - fiddle the Red Man When he appears, you talk to him and then play a new minigame. It is pretty easy. (Remember the thing Cannonball Coleman gave you for guarding the club? Well that golden fiddle will give you double money at this minigame if you have it in your possession.) Anyways, once you beat him, he will give you the other piece of the locket and you can play this minigame whenever you want now. Go talk to Clem. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 3: Bye Bye Bayou - convince Clem to show you out Give Crawdad Clem the locket as proof of your little adventure. Now you have to go see Boo. - meet Boo at Mausoleum entrance The Mausoleum entrance is in the south part of the Bayou. He shows you a secret way out through the Mausoleum. - traverse the Mausoleum Just follow the path. Hmm... interesting clock-Oh CRAP! The clock ate Boo! Anyways follow the path to the cemetery where you will see Gramma Hattie. The coolest part of Sim Valley, Glasstown has now been opened. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 4: Running from the Law - find someone to write a letter For some reason you just got arrested for no reason and now you are in jail. When you get out, talk to Det. Dan. A new law has been made to ban running. You have to do something to stop this evil. So first, find someone to write a letter to the vacationing governor. It's Gramma Hattie of course, talk to her and she will agree to write the letter. Now you need a messenger. - find a messenger to Paradise Island Go talk to that weird guy that is always sleeping in the University. You find out that you aren't popular enough. - gain popularity 30 See the last part of section 4 for tips on gaining popularity. Basically though, it's just getting peoples rel up. - find a map to Paradise Island Go to the top of the Riverboat and there is the map. - bring map to Gordie Give him the map. Then talk to Det. Dan and you can now run again. Also, he will give you the keys to the fan-boat on the dock at the top of Glasstown near the apartment. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 5: Carnivale! - capture the dancing nutria Talk to Roxie. She needs new stuff for her gig. One is a "dancing nutria." Go to Glasstown, and next to the Glasstown apartment are some stairs that lead to a dock with a fan-boat. Use the fan boat to travel to nutria island. It is strait right from the dock and then a little down. Stop at the little island that has the weird little critters on it. Pick up the one that is dancing and go back. Keep in mind that if you stare strait at them, they will go down in their little holes. So to catch him, you have to kinda walk sideways and the grab him when the little yellow arrow appears. - give the nutria to Roxie She is usually at the Carnival or Sim Quarter. Give her the dancing nutria. - give $5000 to Roxie Moxie Do some jobs to earn it. Any job at level 5 will get you $1000-$4000 depending on how good you do. - find a tightrope walker Misty Waters will have a ! on her head. Talk to her. She wants a date to a movie premiere in exchange for being the walker. - find Misty Waters a date Go find Luthor. Talk to him and he will agree to be Misty's date. Then go talk to Misty again. Then go talk to Roxanna and you can play the Carnival games now! .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 6: The Bigbucks Players - gain popularity 40 Talk to Theresa Bullhorn. She wants to put on a play to drive Daddy B. out of her theater. You have to do a lot of things to help her. One is, gain pop. 40. See the last part of section 4 for some tips. You could do the below goals before this one. Then the +rel that you got on Sue and Dusty will count towards the popularity. - convince Dusty Hogg to preform (rel 50) Go find Dusty. Get him up to rel 50 and then ask him to preform. - convince Sue Pirnova to preform (rel 50) Go find Sue. Get her up to rel 50 then ask her to act for the play. - decorate the stage Buy some random junk and put it on the stage. it doesn't matter what it is as long as it is a decorative item. (ex. you cant decorate it with a bed) You have to fit five things on there, so not anything too big. - attend the play Go to the theater and watch the play. After, Therese will say the play was a success and give a hint to Daddy Bigbucks next scheme... .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 9. MISSION 5 / |____________________/ .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 1: Reality Show - travel to paradise island Talk to your rep group leader. They need you to go to Paradise Island to represent your group in a reality show. Before you go, make sure you have as few items as possible in your pockets. And refill all motives. To get there, go to the fan-boat that you used to get to nutria island. Take it north of the Glasstown dock as far as it can go and you should reach paradise island. There are two parts to paradise island. The first has a vendor and a shower and a hammock, the second is further north. That is where you want to be. If you have trouble, refer to the map for directions. - play the trivia contest Talk to Pritchard when you get there. The first thing you have to do is collect coconuts. There are four in all. They are all in the trees on the island. Go up to one, and press A when the arrow appears. Repeat for the rest of the coconuts. When you have them all, talk to Pritchard and give him one of the coconuts. Then he will ask you a question for that coconut. Here are the answers: Q #1: What color is Crystal's hair? A: Red Q #2: Where is the school bus located? A: Urbania Q #3: Which of these people does not belong to a rep group? A: Dusty Hogg Q #4: Where does the Ninja hang out? A: The Carnival - insult the other contestants After that, you go on to round 2. Insult the other contestants! Say stuff that would make them mad, like insult, brag, intimidate, complain. If one of those is not listed as one of the options, touch friendly stuff then back to get a new set of options. Do this until the contestants say they won't talk to you anymore. (usually when you get them about 20 rel less than they had when you started out.) If you manage to insult them enough before your bladder bursts, you will win and be awarded $10,000. If you don't at least you have the $8,000 from the coconuts... .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 2: Back to the Drawing Board - convince Polly to talk (rel 70) Talk to Luthor Bigbucks. He thinks "daddy" hasn't been himself lately, but he was spotted near the Nerdies last. So you have to talk to Polly. It's not too hard getting her rel up. You should already have it part-way. She tells you about a lab that she built for Daddy Bigbucks. She says you can get in if you hit the switch in his office between 3 and 4 a.m., but the switch constantly changes locations. - find the secret lab Go to Sim Tower in Glasstown, then take the elevator up to the executive office and go in Bigbucks office. WHen it is between 3-4 a.m., look around for one of those yellow arrows that signifies an item. Press A when you see it to be transported to his secret lab. If you push the switch before or after the time limit, you will be sent to jail. - find the correct document (logic 6) When you get in the lab, to the left is a table with some papers on it. If you are at logic 6 or more, you will get the correct document. Also make sure to check the machinery at the far right of the lab for a xizzle bead. If you are not logic 6, go to the university at the right time to study and gain a logic point, or see section 16.f for details on finding heidi the cheat ninja, whose smoothies give you a skill point. - return the blueprints to Luthor Call Luthor on the telephone to find where he is, then go there and give the blueprints to him. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 3: Interview With a Cajun Vampire - find Bayou Boo Go talk to Crawdad Clem. He is in the Bayou Shack. You can get there by fan- boat, the cemetery, or by the secret passageway in the jail. (must have Det. Dan at rel 100) Talk to Clem and he will say that Boo has gone missing. The clock ate him, remember? Now go to the Mausoleum where Boo was eaten at. He will be chained up to a wall. Talk to him. He has been turned into a vampire! You have to find some way to free him and cure him of his vampirism. - free Bayou Boo (mechanical 7) If you have mechanical 7, go to the lock near Boo and select "pick." If not, you can get you mechanical up through heidi the cheat ninja, (section 13.f) or the university. - find a cure for vampirism Talk to Mambo Loa. She says you need a heavy chocolate dish. - feed boo chocolate You have to make a chocolate bunny to feed Boo. To be on the safe side, I suggest being at 5 or more cooking skill. To make the chocolate bunny, you need to have a mixer and an oven. You can get a mixer from the food vendor in the farmers market, and you can gat an oven from the Glasstown Mega-mall. Once you have those things, mix three chocolates together in the mixer to make a Bunny batter. (you can get chocolate from the food vendor in the farmers market) Then bake it in the oven. Take the chocolate bunny to Boo and give it to him. Yay he is not a vampire anymore! .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 4: Captured! - befriend Harlan King (rel 30) Go to the to left corner in the Carnival to see the ninja. She will capture you and you appear in the cage in Bigbucks' lab with Harlan King. Bigbucks will appear and then fly off in his time machine. Talk to Harlan and get his rel up to 30. - escape the cell Stuff will blow up and the door will swing open. Easy enough. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 5: Atlantis Premiere Party - find a ticket Talk to Crystal. (Maximillian Moore if you are a girl) He/she wants to go to this Premiere Party and needs tickets. - impress Lily (rel 70 and pop. 60) This is by far the hardest thing to do in all of Urbz. Talk to Lily. She will give you the tickets if you get her rel at 70 or higher, and get a popularity of 60. See the last part of section 4 for info on popularity. Once you have done that, talk to Lily for the tickets. Then give them to Crystal or Max. - dress in all black Before you go to the party, you have to look nice. Go to the thrift store, and in one of the racks, change you clothes to all black. - attend the premiere Go to the Party at around 8 p.m. Show up at the Theater a little before, then you will go in to see everyone there. Then Bigbucks will appear and everybody else will get all transparent. Bigbucks tells you his evil plan, monologues some, then is off to do more evil. Walk outside and talk to Harlan King. You have to make a Time Machine to "unclaim" all of future miniopolis from Daddy B. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 6 : Back in Tome - find an inventor Find Sue and talk to her. She will make you a time machine, but she needs 10 nuclear fuel rods. - give Sue 10 nuclear fuel rods Remember those green glowing sticks that you see sometimes in the bayou? Yea, it's those that you need. They can be found also in the cemetery, moon base zeta, and glasstown. (near the statues) Once you have 10, talk to Sue again and give them to her. - find a contractor Talk to Ewan. To build the time machine, he needs $10,000. Do jobs and save up. Then give him the cash. After you have done those, go to the Mechanical shop where the Motocross minigame is located. Dan and Sue will be there with a big shiny time machine for you. But you still need to know what date to go to in order to stop Daddy Bigbucks evil plan. - find the correct date Talk to Guiseppi Mezzoalto. He says Bigbucks went to December 31, 1870. - use the time machine from the highest point Take it up to the top of Sim Tower and place it where the spaceship sculpture used to be. Then go to the first option, Dec. 31, 1870. Once you get there, you will be greeted by... Ephraim Earl? Thats right, the living form of Earl. After some small talk he gives you Daddy B's flag that he left there. Take it back to the present day. Daddy B. is there. He informs you that his diabolical plan is in full effect and he now owns all of Miniopolis. Yea right! You tell him otherwise and in his rage he... gets arrested. Daddy Bigbucks has been stopped and life can now go on like normal for Sim Valley residents. Now sit back, relax and watch everyone cheer for you. You even get your own statue. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 10. MISSION S / |____________________/ .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 1: You're My Only Hope - find plans to Splicer Isle They are in the dumpster near the University in Urbania. - uncover details of Splicer Isle Talk to Mokey. He wants food. Give him a hot dog or something and he will tell you about a woman that runs a ferry to splicer island, Sharona Faster. - talk to Sharona Faster She is always at the docks leading to the Riverboat. Talk to her. She will reopen the ferry service for $500. - give Sharona $500 for the water taxi Do jobs if you need to. Then give her the money and come back at 8 a.m. the next day. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 2: Land Ho! - give the plans to Futo Maki When you get there, you'll see a big Japanese guy. Talk to him and give him the plans. - pick the lock on the gate (mechanical 4) For some mechanical points, go to the university or see heidi the cheat ninja. (see section 13.f) - donate $5000 to start construction Do some jobs, sell some stuff, the usual. When you have it, talk to Maki and give him the mulah. - find some helpers Past the gate there are some monkeys. Talk to them and get their rel up to 50. They like it when you pull tail, scratch, and play. Then talk to Futo Maki. It will take 10 days for the Maki to construct the island, so work on the rep missions to pass the time. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 3: The Boys are Back in Town - find a smoothie operator Jack I. Deal is your man. He hangs out in Salty's Riverboat. You have to get him up to rel 40 or higher for him to agree to be the smoothie operator. - find an entertainment manager Remember that crazy dude who hangs out in the back of the Lobster Shack? Go and talk to him, he's your entertainment manager. He has to be at rel 40 before he will agree. - find the long lost Dr. Mauricio Keyes It's Mokey! Go and talk to him. He will be your Genetic Scientist. But first he needs a shower. - get Mokey a shower Go to the jail and Mokey will be there. A cutscene shows him going in and taking a (magical?) shower, then turn into "Dr. Mauricio Keys." Now go talk to Futo Maki, and Splicer Island is officially open for business. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 4: It's Alive! - find some amber Go to the lab on Splicer Island (it's at the far left of the island) and talk to Dr. Mauricio. To make your pet you need some amber which may contain preserved animal DNA. It's that stuff that looks like yellow chalk that you should have millions of by now. If you need more, you can find them lying around on the streets of Urbania. - create a pet Go through the little game by following the instructions to the best of your ability. Depending on how good you do, you will get a certain pet of a certain color. Now go talk to Busta Cruz. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 5: Dog and Dinosaur Show? - convince 3 people to compete in the pet show (rel 50) Busta is having a bit of trouble with publicity for Splicer Island. So he needs you to go get 3 people to compete in the pet show with you. Talk to Cynthia Braintrust, Gary Geezer, and Maximillian Moore. - train a pet for the show (rel 50) All pets are different in what they like. Remember that you can have up to three pets, so if you don't like your first pet, or you screw up trying to get them at rel 50, just make a new one. - win a pet show Play the game in the Entertainment building in Splicer Island. Follow the rules an it won't be too hard to beat. By the way, I like this game especially because you can play it as many times as you want to in a row. You don't have to wait for a certain time and only play it once per day. Once you are done, you receive a distress signal from the Splicer Lab. Go there immediately without dropping your pet off. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Goal 6: Winky Weebucks - investigate the lab Go to the Slicer Lab and you will see Cynthia standing there by the door in distress. Someone has broken into the lab but she is too scared to go in. So you have to go and see who it is. Once you get down there, it is Berkley Clodd up to some mayhem. Suddenly a strange and short figure appears and knocks you, Cynthia, and Berkley out and puts you in a cage. You send your pet out to find help. - Find Winky Weebucks You, as your pet, have to go find the evil Winky Weebucks and stop him. So leave the island, but on your way out, grab the splicer island flag that you saw by the entrance. Before you go directly to Winky, stop by the riverboat and talk to Salty. - Find someone to stop Winky Weebucks Stop by the riverboat and talk to Salty. He says you need Pepper Pete. So you need to talk to his parrot to locate him. The parrot needs a sail to give to Pepper Pete so he can sail back to Sim City. - give a sail to the parrot Give him that flag that was at the entrance to Splicer Island that appeared once you completed Goal 6. Now go to the Carnival and you will be greeted by the real Pepper Pete! You need to go in and distract Winky while Pepper takes him out. - distract Winky Weebucks First you have to get past the invisible maze leading to Winky. there are 15 squares marked by a pole on each corner. To get to Winky, start at the square closest to the leftmost tent and go two squares up. Then turn right and go two more squares right. Then go up through the last square and Winky will talk to you. *Glitch warning! If winky doesn't talk to you, walk around the carnival and around by the trees where the ninja appears until he talks to you. The game may freeze or it may just not work, in which case you will have to start over.* After you talk to him he will surround you with nutria and Pepper Pete will come out of nowhere and save the day. Then you and he will go to the lab and free your human self. You saved the day once again. Then you can watch a cutscene of Pepper and Salty meeting up again and doing a little dance together. Now watch the credits roll for the last time. You beat the game! .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 11.

RECIPES / |____________________/ This section includes recipes to make various edible items as well as how much the ingredients cost and the net gain for selling them to the food vendor. (the total cost of the purchasable ingredients is the number in parenthesis.) Note that some ingredients cannot be bought. You have to find them lying around Sim Valley. At the bottom I have a little section that will show how to obtain each ingredient. Note that many of these recipes will not turn out right unless you have the necessary cooking skills. I recommend being at least 7 cooking before attempting to do these so you do not waste money. And even when you have 10 cooking skill, your creations may still fail on occasion. - thanks to DroppedStitch for this section- .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Recipes Apple Pie - 1 Apple, 1 flour, 1 sugar ($10) - $12 net Strawberry Tiramisu - 1 strawberry, 1 vanilla, 1 flour ($14) � $88 net Cocoa Apple Cake � 1 apple, 1 chocolate, 1 nuts ($30) � $82 net Chocolate Cake � 1 flour, 1 sugar, 1 chocolate ($33) � $62 net Sugar Cookies � 2 sugar, 1 flour ($15) � $30 net Pecan Pie � 1 flour, 1 nuts, 1 sugar ($17) � $25 net Lemon Meringue Pie � 2 sugar, 1 lemon ($14) � $23 net Chocolate Decadence - 2 chocolate, 1 flour ($49) - $16 net Brownies � 2 chocolate, 1 nuts ($53) � $22 net Giant Chocolate Bunny - three chocolates ($69) � loss -$14 Vanilla Swirl Tart - 1 chocolate, 1 vanilla, 1 sugar ($31) - $19 net Apple Strudel - 1 apple, 1 nuts, 1 sugar ($14) - $46 net Chocolate Biscotti - 1 chocolate, 1 nuts, 1 flour ($87) - $54 net Carmel Apples - 1 apple, 1 sugar, 1 vanilla ($18) - $62 net Lemon tart - 1 lemon, 1 sugar, 1 vanilla ($18) - $62 net Birthday Cupcakes - 1 vanilla, 1 sugar, 1 flour ($21) - $39 net Low Carb Chocolate Cake - 2 chocolate, 1 sugar ($53) - $57 net Strawberry Shortcake - 1 strawberry, 1 flour, 1 sugar ($10) - $32 net .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | How to get the ingredients: Some of the ingredients can be bought from the food vendor in Sim Quarter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS / |________________________________/ This section includes all of the questions I have heard been asked more than once, whether it be on the message boards on GameFAQs.com, or from emails I have received. If you have a question that is not covered in this section, email it to me and I will answer you and possibly put in. Q. What is a Dancing Nutria and where do I find one? A. The dancing nutria is an oversized rodent that dances. It can be found on Nutria Island with all his non-dancing nutria buddies. Go to Glasstown, and next to the Glasstown apartment are some stairs that lead to a dock with a fan- boat. Use the fan boat to travel to nutria island. It is strait right from the dock and then a little down. Stop at the little island that has the weird little critters on it. Pick up the one that is dancing and go back. Keep in mind that if you stare strait at them, they will go down in their little holes. So to catch him, you have to kinda walk sideways and the grab him when the little yellow arrow appears. Q. What is the rep group clubhouse and how do I get permission to go inside? A. The clubhouses are just storage space - decorated to fit your rep group. To get permission, you have to get up to full rep points with your group. Then talk to your leader and he/she will give you the key. Q. Is it possible to have pets in this game? A. Yes, after you beat mission S. But they stay in a pen on Splicer Island. Q. How do I buy stuff out of the catalog? A. The catalog is merely a list of all of the items available in this game. You cannot buy directly from there, you have to get the stuff somewhere else. And some of it is non-purchaseable. Q. I sold all my trash at the beginning of the game, now I can't complete the Artsies rep mission. What do I do? A. Nothing. The only way to do that is to restart the whole game. Major glitch. Q. How do I stop people from robbing me? A. There's a machine in every house where you can buy utilities, including a security system. Just look against the walls. Q. How do get the spell champ xizzle? A. You have to become a Nerdie if you aren't already and get 6 rep points then talk to Polly Normial. She will then make the xizzle available for purchase. Q. How do I change rep groups? A. You have to get full rep points with the group you want to become, then talk to the leader of that group. It is hard. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 17. GLITCHES / |____________________/ This is stuff that is not supposed to happen in the game, but it does. 1. Richie clubhouse. When you get the clubhouse key from Luthor, after a while, it wont work anymore. Sell it and get an new one the same way as the first. 2. The game will freeze if you try and ride your hoverboard as your pet. 3. The albino squirrel that is visible from the steps leading to the cemetery will get all glitchified if you look at it long enough. Not a game affecting glitch, but kind of funny. 4. DO NOT sell your trash until you have completed the Artsie rep mission. 5. If you can't trigger the cutscene after getting through Winky Weebucks' maze, just try walking around him and the carnival and eventually it will start. 6. The game will freeze if you attempt to enter the time machine as your pet and you will have to shut the game off to get out of it. 7. The game will freeze if you try to talk to the Albino Alligator immediately after talking to him for the first time. .------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 18.
