The Urbz: Sims in the City (GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox)/Developer Options

From The Cutting Room Floor
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a sub-page of The Urbz: Sims in the City (GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox).

Hmmm...
To do:
There's likely more options to come!

Hidden in the executable are many different options meant to be used by the developers while testing the game.

The ASIA column is prefixed with (J) for the Japanese version (SLPM-65807), (K) for the Korean version (SLKA-25099), and (A) for the Rest-of-Asia version (SLAJ-25052).

Note: The Japanese version requires two codes to avoid a hang caused by attempting to render malformed Unicode characters in an attempt to convert to ASCII.

Unlocks all clothing/tats/hair/accessories, options not available normally including un-used, and specific NPC outfits.

If NPC is loaded, and you exit the clothing store, you will have their appearance.

Unavailable NPCS & Clothing: Captain Catastrophe, Slim Freddie (Robot Street Performer, Scotty Almost/Bouncer are objects)

If cheat active before initial Sim Creation, this will display only NPC faces as the available options. Includes Darius, Officer Sludge, Bobo, Black Eyed Peas, and many more for Male. Female faces are limited to 2 options including Fergie (possibly also Kiki?).

Does not add unincluded sections to stores (for example piercings). Does not add clothing selection to CAS (but you can load NPC).

R1 loads the next NPC: (R on NGC. No R2 to save on NGC)
