Unused Graphics

This article has a talk page!
view on tcrf.net

To do:
There's more.

  • It appears some of the textures are mirrored wrong. Redo them in a mirrored fashion.
  • Also, find a way to rip some of the walls better.
  • is floor_tile_marble_black and/or blue used?
  • There's an unused action queue of the tall fence from the mainline game, remade in this game's graphics.

This is a sub-page of The Sims: Bustin' Out (GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox).

Early Backgrounds#

Two unused gradient backgrounds can be found as ui_start_screen and ui_creditscreen, which were intended for the main menu and credits. Final game uses ui_mainmenuscreen for both. Oddly, the second unused graphic is reminiscent of the title screen for the Game Boy Advance version.

ui_creditscreen

Early Create-A-Sim Sky#

There is another sky gradient texture intended for Create-a-Sim called cas_sky_blue, except in a lower texture resolution and a pinker sunset compared to the final cas_sky. Interestingly, the early name likely refers to the old Create-A-Sim screen seen in prerelease media.

Build Mode#

There's lots of wallpaper and flooring that go unused. Oddly, some of these would be used in The Urbz: Sims in the City (Game Boy Advance) for handheld, and several others are taken from its mainline cousin.

Rarely-seen and Unused NPC Icons#

NPC icons for the Burglar, Repo Man, Newspaper Girl and the Mail Deliverer are not completely unused per se, but have a rare chance of being seen due to having no interactions. It has a chance of being seen with the Talk interaction on Sims in speech bubbles, but it is rare. Strangely enough, the Monkey Butler icon is updated to match the game's style despite them not appearing in the game!

Miscellaneous#

animref_eddie#

A 512x512 texture of an unknown Sim. The beard and shoes do not match with any existing items in the final game.

small_round_cursor#
