+---------------------------------------------------------+ | Introduction (Int5)| +---------------------------------------------------------+
Welcome to my Faq/Walkthrough for The Urbz: Sims in the City for DS. When I first got the sims for DS I was really addicted to it and when I beat it, I thought, what the hay, why not make a walkthrough so that others can beat it too. This is my first Faq/Walkthrough so don’t expect it to be really good.
Note: I have beaten everything except for the rep missions. And I have restarted to complete the walkthrough so I can’t complete some characters until I finished the walkthrough.

+---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Creating a Character (Cac2)| +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
Thanks a bunch to Matt Poxson for this information.
At the beginning, when you first create an Urb, you will be asked to choose the name of your character. Next you will be asked to choose the Gender, Skin Tone, Hair Style and Hair Color. According to Matt Poxson, the gender will determine whether you get the Skater Dude Xizzle (Boys) or the Sale Siren Xizzle (Girls). I have later confirmed that this is correct.
Next you get to choose the clothes for your Urb which does nothing to affect the game.
Now you have to answer some questions. Each question that you answer grants you access to a different Xizzle that you can purchase latter on in the game.
Question 1:
A) Rep Group: Streeties, Xizzle: Quick as a Flash
B) Rep Group: Nerdies, Xizzle: Off the Grid
C) Rep Group: Richies, Xizzle: Genial Behavior
D) Rep Group: Artsies, Xizzle: Night Owl
Question 2:
A) Xizzle: Eager Eager Hippo
B) Xizzle: Inzombiac
C) Xizzle: Nemesis
Question 3:
A) Xizzle: Little Piddly Diddle
B) Xizzle: Sweet Smell
C) Xizzle: Sell Out
Question 4:
A) Xizzle: Play it off
B) Xizzle: Mantis Rapture
C) Xizzle: All Up Ons
Question 5:
A) Xizzle: G'd Up
B) Xizzle: Jibba Jabba
C) Xizzle: Nerd Level 5
Question 6:
A) Xizzle: Chillin' Like a Villain
B) Xizzle: Livin' Large

Q: How do I buy stuff out of the catalog?
A: You can’t buy anything out of the catalog. You can only buy from the
stores or with a computer.
Q: I didn’t get the cut scene after I got the flag for the Splicer
island mission. What do I do?
A: I am not quite sure about this but I think you need to beat all 5
missions before you will get the cut scene.
Q: Is there a live mode?
A: Well, you can do what ever you want after you beat the game, but
otherwise no.
Q: How do you get someone to move in with you?
A: Get a really high relationship. Only certain people can move in with
you. Dusty Hogg, Ewan Watahmee, Misty Waters, Sue Pirnova, Cannonball
Coleman, Kris Thistle and Phoebe Twiddle can move in with you.
Q: Can you build a house?
A: No, but you can buy furniture and furnish your house.
Q: I’m getting really tired of being robbed, what can I do about it?
A: There’s a machine in every house where you can buy a security
system. Just look against the walls.
Q: Can you have pets?
A: Yes, you must complete Mission S first though.
Q: At the beginning of the game, I sold all the trash for money. Now I
need them for the Artistes Rep Mission and I can’t find any. Where are
they?
A: I’m afraid that’s a mistake almost everyone went through. You have
to restart the whole game.
Q: I want some beads, how do you get them?
A: Get a relationship of 75 to get 1 bead. You can only get 1 per
person.
Q: What are beads for?
A: After you beat mission 2.5, you can go to club Xizzle and exchange
them for like slowing down your sleepiness etc.
Q: After you beat the game, I heard that you can still use the Time
Machine. What places can you go to?
A: November 29, 1984 – It’s a really bad graphical place that looks a
bit like the Game Boy Color.
December 31, 1870 - This place doesn’t really have anything.
1,000,000 B.C - You’ll see some dinosaurs, get scared and leave.
December 2, 2003 - If you ever played The Sims: Bustin’ Out, for
GBA, well, this is the place.
3978 A.D - You’ll see an ape, get scared and run away.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Motives (Mot1)| +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
Motives are very important in the Sims. If you do not watch your motives, you will faint and end up in the hospital. There is a way to reduce how fast your motives drop. This way requires beads. You can buy Xizzles which will slow down your motives. I have a list of all the motives.
Hunger:
Food is very important. If you don’t fill up this need, you will
faint. To fill up this need, you can buy food from the various shops,
or you can buy a fridge or a vending machine. There are also vending
machines in different places like the Hospital.
Hygiene:
You should buy a shower for this. You won’t faint for this but you
can’t talk to people.
Energy:
Buy a bed to gain energy. The double beds are best. If you are
starting out and don’t have enough money, use the bed at the hospital.
Social:
There are lots of people around, just talk to them for a while and
get your social up.
Comfort:
Most of the time you don’t need this. Seeing as when you sleep, your
comfort goes up too. But there are chairs, couches etc. so use them.
Bladder:
But a toilette, or find a place with a toilette. There’s one in the
pizza place and crab shack.
Fun:
The best place to go for this is the trampoline near the Hoopz game.
You gain fun really fast too!
House:
Just decorate your house well and you won’t have problems with this
one.
