'''The Urbz: Sims in the City''' is the third second handheld 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]] (KingsKing Tower, which is all of 5 stories) where athe Sim is fired, no matter what itthey doesdo. From there itthey must find housing, uncover an evil plot, and save the city from falling into the clutches of athe crazyrich egotisticalantagonist maniacof the game, [[Daddy Bigbucks]].

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 Groupgroup]] 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.

*This group's leader is [[Darius]]. If the player answers the first answer for the first quiz question, they will end up as a Streetie. The group's members consist of Darius, [[Kris Thistle]], [[Ewan Watahmee]], and [[Crystal (Urb)|Crystal]]. The item for the group is the "Ultimate MP-Dee Stereo System" which allows the player to play any music on the game, including the opening theme. Their rival group are the Richies.

**In the DS version: The keyboard appears on the touchscreen.

*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.
