Line 1: {{Era\|URBZ}} ~~[[File:Foundry_guide.jpg\|thumb]]__NOTOC__~~ {{Pagecover '''The Foundry''' is one of the districts in ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City (console)\|The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'' on console. Founded by a group of artists seeking affordable housing, open studio space, and a lifestyle away from the mainstream metropolis. This industrial district with its abandoned warehouses and gray tone, was transformed to contain art studios, independent galleries, and coffee shops buzzing with shop talk and politics. \|image=TF.jpg \|gen=Urbz \|offset = 100 }} <blockquote class="note>"The New Black."</blockquote> If you want to get away from the traffic and crowds to kick back with the more bohemian populace in [[The Urbz: Sims in the City (console)\|The Urbz: Sims in the City]], hang a left over to '''The Foundry'''. Years ago, artists seeking affordable housing, open studio space, and a lifestyle away from the mainstream metropolis seeped into this deteriorating industrial district and gave it new verve. They converted the abandoned warehouses into lofted art studios, independent galleries, and coffee shops buzzing with shop talk and politics. Visitors are invited to pull up a chair at the local coffee shop or stroll through the galleries with wine-glass in hand. ~~The residents of Foundry are surprisingly close with the residents of [[Kicktail Park]], so building a reputation there will allow one to be invited to The Foundry.~~ Crispin’s Cauldron is one of the most promising up-and-coming galleries. It specializes in post-modern sculpture and industrial metal-smithing. Visitors are always welcome as long as they know to keep their fingers away from the art for risk of losing appendages entirely! ~~==Residents of The Foundry==~~ * [[Arthur Pop]] * [[Bella Ciao]] * [[Crispin Black]] * [[Neo Flange]] * [[Roxanna Hardplace]] Iron Age Coffee Haus offers the best espresso and Haus-made biscotti in the city. This is a perfect spot to relax and listen to the sound of summer raindrops tap dancing on the tin sheeted roofs. ~~===About the Residents===~~ ~~The Residents of The Foundry noticeably dress in dark colors and have lanky body types.~~ You know the party’s on when the neon and laser lights flare up around The Gearbox and engage in a high-tech Robo Battle - a “smashing” expose of mechanical art. Crispin Black is in the sculpting business, and is looking for someone to help him fill orders of metal sculptures. While Bella Ciao and Arthur Pop both have some social moves to teach Urbz. Neo Flange is considered the most intellectual and shows this by wearing trendy urban "smart" clothing. And then there is Roxanna Hardplace who wants to coax Urbz into restyling a few of her friends from other districts. There’s nothing like a funky wrought iron sculpture to finish off a modern bachelor (or bachelorette) pad; or better yet a flaming wall-mounted torch to give it that ‘European’ medieval feel. ~~==Preferred Social Moves==~~ In terms of clothing, while there is no better color than black, you can also get lovely shirts and scarves in gray, dark gray, light gray, gunmetal gray and other subdued hues. And what better way to fit in with the hip crowd than a few well placed piercings? There are cool adornments for lobes, lips and nostrils at very reasonable prices. It’s invite only at The Foundry, so you’ll need to find someone with a friend in the right place. I’ve heard that these guys are surprisingly close to the kids down at [[Kicktail Park]], so you might want to start looking there... Getting a reputation here will get you noticed by the residents of [[Neon East]]. ==Residents== <gallery> arthurpop_ICO.png\|[[Arthur Pop]] bellaciao_ICO.png\|[[Bella Ciao]] crispinblack_ICO.png\|[[Crispin Black]] neoflange_ico.png\|[[Neo Flange]] roxannahardplace_ICO.png\|[[Roxanna Hardplace]] </gallery> [[Crispin Black]], as mentioned earlier, is looking for someone to help him run his sculpting business, while [[Bella Ciao]] and [[Arthur Pop]] both have some hip moves to teach their friends. [[Neo Flange]] is the most intellectual and it shows in his trendy urban “smart” clothing designs and the word on the street is that [[Roxanna Hardplace]] wants to hire someone to restyle a few of her less attractive friends, but you’ll need to get in tight with her before she’ll offer you the gig. The job here requires quick reflexes as you balance turning molten iron into works of art, keeping your basic needs in check, and socializing with the oh-so-hipper-than-thou crowd. Prove you can multitask with an eye for detail, and your Rep in this district will skyrocket. ==Social Interactions== [[File:Thefoundry_INT.png\|thumb\|300px]] '''Preferred Moves''' * Artsy Dance * Compare Phones Line 22 ⟶ 46: * Smoke Trick * Snippy Snap '''Taught Moves''' * Compare Phones (unlocked by befriending [[Bella Ciao]]) * Artsy Dance (unlocked by befriending [[Arthur Pop]]) * Buzz (unlocked by completing level one of the local job) * Lounge Lure (unlocked by completing level two of the local job) * Paparazzi Pop (unlocked by completing level three of the local job) Upon entering the VIP area around midnight, the player urb will recieve a '''BlastiKiss''' social from [[Darius]], which can be used to stop the villain [[Kiki Blunt]]. ==District Relationships== Like all other districts, The Foundry urbz will have relationships with other urbz based on which district they come from.

This is a perfect spot to relax and listen to the sound of summer raindrops tap dancing on the tin sheeted roofs. And '''The Gearbox''' is where one would engage in a high-tech Robo Battle - a "smashing" expose of mechanical art.
