'''The Urbz: Sims in the City''' is the third Sims game and the sequel of ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]''. This game is loosely-based on ''[[The Sims]]'' and ported from the GBA version. However, in this branch of the Sims, an Urb (a version of a Sim in the game) lives and works in a city. The game starts out in the largest tower in all of [[Miniopolis]] (Kings Tower, which is all of 5 stories) where a Sim is fired, no matter what it does. From there it must find housing, uncover an evil plot, and save the city from falling into the clutches of a crazy egotistical maniac.▼

▲In '''The Urbz''', there are 4 different groups known as "Rep Groups". After the Urb has been designed, the game asks a series of questions, which decide what Rep Group the Urb will belong in. Each group consists of 4 Urbz, excluding the player, has their own Rep Leader, Trophy, Rep Item and Mission. When all 10 bars of the player's Urb are green, the Sim can talk to the Rep Leader and change groups.

==Returning Sims from The Sims Bustin' Out==
Since the game is sequel to the handheld version ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'' it features a few cast members from SimValley. Despite their re-appearances, some have no recollection of ever appearing in the previous game therefore they are possibly reincarnations.

==Xizzles==
Xizzles are mini-skills. Xizzles can be bought with 3 Xizzle Beads, which can be obtained by talking to Urbz and getting their Rel. Points to 75 or above, or finding them around Miniopolis, where you can buy 1 Xizzle. A Xizzle can be like "Livin' Large" which earns you 20% more at Jobs/Minigames, or they could be like "Nemesis", of which everyone's relationship points will go up 6 but someone else's down to minus 100. In the CAS Quiz, all questions except for the first determine which Xizzles will be available first to your Sim. Other Xizzles can be obtained after completing Goal 2 in Mission 3

==Trivia==
*A reference to ''The Sims Bustin' Out'' for handheld is made in the game, on the roof of King's Tower a rocket is wedged into the tower's globe sculpture. This corresponds to what occurred during its ending.
*The location ''Paradise Island'' from The Sims Bustin' Out also returns in this game and can be visited without the need of GBA connectivity unlike the previous game. However, the area is empty and doesn't retain the same content.
*Phoebe Twiddle says in response to the "travel" conversation option that she often visits SimValley to visit her old store (Nicki Knack's Bric-A-Brac) and see her old boyfriend who is an "odd farmer" (we can assume that Uncle Hayseed is her boyfriend as he is the only farmer on ''Bustin' Out.)''
