General Things#

In many ways, it's pretty similar to Alpha 814, but there are still a couple of differences.

• Most if not all Urbz references have been removed from containers such as MOVIES.ARC. Instead of files having an urbz_ prefix, they now have an s2c_ prefix, which is also the case for the final build.
• Pressing Select + L3 toggles the HUD.
• The starting time is 7:00am in Freeplay mode and if you started Story mode without saving after the Create-A-Sim. If you did save, it starts at 1:00am.
• It uses cheat code combinations from The Sims, but some of the original effects may not correspond.
  • Circle, L1, L2, R2, R1 -- Spawns the Cheat gnome + Time, Relationships, Get Job, Set Job Level cheats pre-enabled.
  • L1, R2, X, Circle, Up -- Add Aspiration
  • L1, R1, Down, X, L3 -- Change Skill
  • R2, L1, R1, L2, Left -- Set All Motives
  • L2, R2, Up, Triangle, L3, X -- Unlock All Clothing
  • L1, R2, Right, Square, L3 -- Unlock All Objects
  • R2, R3, L3, L2, R1 / L3, R3, R1, R2, Circle / Triangle, R2, L1, X, Square -- Unknown Effects!
  • Up, Down, Circle, Up, Down -- Shows a picture of the developers when entered during the credits.
• This build has some debugging. It has a couple options that aren't present in M4 20, but for the most part, the debugging options in this build are quite limited.
  

• Some transparent objects, like windows, seem to emit this unusual red tinted glare. Sometimes it's green or yellow too. Only happens in this build.

Cutscenes#

The cutscenes are stored in and extracted from the MOVIES.ARC container.
