Unused Dialogue

This is a sub-page of The Sims 2: Pets (Game Boy Advance).

To do: Listed after the dialogue for each quest in ROM is a title for that quest (e.g. "Find Penguins") à la Urbz.

Door Notices#

When the player-Sim tries to enter a shop that's closed for the day, a notice screen will pop up showing the hours of operation. The following two notices were scrapped.

• The Gym is always open to suit every Sim's schedule.
• The door is shut.

Bus Travel/World Map#

The ability to travel the town by bus was planned, and the descriptions of places on a world map were written, but this feature was ultimately scrapped.

Unpaid Bill Warning Dialogue#

In lieu of text in the finished game, bills slowly turn yellow, then red, if the bills remain unpaid. If the player-Sim hasn't enough Simoleons, the game doesn't verbally indicate this.

• These bills are unpaid. The Repo Man is coming.
• You don't have enough money to pay all your bills. §(cost) remains unpaid.
• These bills are late. Do you want to pay these bills? §(cost)
• Thank you for paying these bills.
• These bills are overdue. Do you want to pay these bills? §(cost)
• Do you want to pay these bills? §(cost)

Feng Shui Meter Dialogue#

A sliding bar instead of text indicates "feng shui" in the finished game.

• The feng shui of your home has reached its maximum potential.
• The feng shui of your home is complex, yet balanced.
• Your home creates an intricate feng shui pattern.
• The feng shui in your home can only permit the slightest increase in your possessions.
• The feng shui of your home is in balance and harmony.
• The feng shui of your home would be unbalanced by this item.

Housing Rental Notice Screens#

The columns in italics aren't visible in the notice screen for when the player-Sim views the rental information for the houses around town.

Second-Person NPC Descriptions#

These descriptions appear interwoven in ROM, between the full character names and their descriptions as they are written in the Relationships menu in the final game.

Impossible NPC Formal Greetings#

Several NPCs can never formally introduce themselves (e.g. "Hi, I'm [name]"), as they initiate a quest when you first meet them.
