The Urbz Leftovers

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

Leftover Character Renders#

The Character Renders from the "Select A Style" screen remain as well.

Leftover Title Logos#

There's even title logos, listed under "ui_logo_dark". The English logo is replaced by the Sims 2 Console placeholder logo, while the Korean, Italian, Finnish and even Chinese logo files are still in English!

Leftover Sounds#

Sadly, none of the game's original catchy soundtrack is present in the files. Though, some sound effects remain.

The sound effects for the Power Social meter exist, but they're all blank.

XAM Ringtones#

All of the leftover XAM Ringtones are present in SAMPLES.ARC.

Additional information

sting_revive

If an Urb dies of hunger in the original game, a paramedic NPC will come out of nowhere and revive it rather than the Urb just dying. There is already a completely different "revived" jingle for this game.

There are five sound effects for when a Urb unlocks, uses a power social successfully or unsuccessfully in the files.
