You can post one thing or multiple things, up to you. And, preferably, most entries are posted on November 9th, 2024, which is the date that all console versions of the Urbz alongside the GBA version were released in North America, two decades prior!

If participating, please tag your post as #urbz handheld 20th anniversary. You can also tag me or send the post to me if this doesn’t work for you. I do plan on reblogging entries!

Further specification under the cut.

You can create fan-art or fan-fiction, but if you’re not skilled nor confident at either of those, you’re not limited to just them.

If you’re mostly a Sims player like me, you can share recreations of the locations and characters in whatever game you prefer! You can post analysis on parts of the game, post your head canons on the characters/world, or talk about any other ideas you've had.

You can even do something as simple as telling us all about what you liked with the game and your experiences with it or even making a ranking of the characters based off of whatever criteria you want. You could even just post some screenshots you took while playing! Do whatever works for you!

The goal of this event is to get people talking and thinking about The Urbz: Sims in the City during/around its anniversary. I want people to do whatever the hell they want, but I also want to make sure to provide some ideas as a starting point for people who may want to particpate.

Also! Since all versions of the The Urbz: Sims in the City weren’t published in all territories for a few months, you can participate until March 11th, 2025, which is 20 years after The Urbz for DS released in Europe. So, if you want to participate but don't have the time, didn't see this post, or whatever you're doing is taking longer than expected, don't sweat!

The Clocker Tower (Sims Bustin' Out - GBA) Built on Rippling Flats in Newcrest

A remnant of the brutalist period, its architect, Ihat Squires, sought to capture the brutal nature of shapes. Known for his diatribes against "sinister circles" and "tremulous triangles" - critics, historians, and therapists alike have long speculated this obsession with malintented geometry stems from an equally well known incident from his childhood involving a toy peg. When asked why he included a clock, the architect it quoted as saying, "I ran out of things that are round, ok?!"

Current residents include Vernon Peeve, Mel Odious, and Duane Doldrum. The apartment with clock tower access is of course still available.

So I JUST realized that in Tank's room in the GBA game, there's a conservative "don't tread on me" flag as the rug. IT'S THE RUG. I NEVER got this joke until JUST now.

(also the implications of the "don't tread on me movement" existing in the sims universe?? Horrifying.)

Bro, Bustin’ Out has such a heavy focus on flirty dialogue but also the worst, scariest looking choice of suitors in the world, it’s not fair.

Creating this...in TS2 looks easy...but It´s so HARD anyway, if some simmers are reading this, maybe soon I´m gonna share my little proyect...
