The Urbz: I Wanna Be Bad

a song track that was supposed to be the 4th track for Diamond Heights' "Pootie's Top 40" Radio Station.

The song was used in trailers/promotional material and older official Urbz Websites (along with a hip-hop track that's actually from The Sims Bustin Out).

A snippet of the song can still be heard in-game as the default ringtone for Urbz from Diamond Heights or if you set your OC Urbs ringtone as that:

The Full version that was supposed to be in the game has 2 different versions. One with simlish vocals sung by unknown singers which slightly differs in instrumentation and length as Willas Version is 3 minutes while the Urbz one is 4 minutes long. This track originates from the early websites:

The song also inconveniently fades out at the end which a lot of songs used to have. But the trailer shows that the song does indeed have an ending that was only shown in that specific 2003/04 trailer and nowhere else lol

And an instrumental version that also differs in length and also slightly with its instrumentation from the original Willa Ford version. According to someone who also uploaded it on YouTube, it was internally called "Celebrity Orange" which may tie back to the composer in the game credited as "Music Orange" though who they are, if they really are the composer, if it's a mistake in crediting or if it's just an artist name for the originals composers, Brian Kierulf and Josh Schwartz is unknown from what I could find.

Also shameless plug but I tried putting the original instrumentals with the Simlish vocals last year as I liked the original instrumentation a bit more tbh

The Sims 2's buyable Urbz game that was originally an official download on TheSims2.com has some interesting footage. My notes:

• Animated Urbz logo intro

• The Create an Urb screen resembles the one from the beta trailer, with the Urb in the background wearing the same beta Urb / Kiki Blunt outfit except with Venus Moonflower's hairstyle - And she's actually still in the retail game, she's hiding out of bounds on the screen that's used when you change clothes at a wardrobe instead of a district shop

• The district gameplay footage that follows appears directly related to the Create an Urb footage, since it features Jayde with Scary Mary's hair - Like they actually recorded both parts together rather than splicing random clips

• An earlier design for the Needs & Rep UI, with different icons for the Mood indicator

• Earlier design for the action queue (I think that's what that blue-ish square in the lower right is supposed to be lol)

Also I can't figure out how to extract these video files directly. All other TV show, movie, and game videos are saved as .MOVIE files in the Program Files folder, but I can only assume that all of The Urbz video files & their configuration is contained within that downloadable package file. If they are in there though I'm not sure they're accessible via SimPE, because I sifted through all the components and there wasn't even anything specifically pointing to the video files to tell me where they were, let alone the video files themselves. Maybe I'm just missing something since I'm not super proficient at SimPE though 🤷‍♀️

The Sims 2 Objects I Noticed in Dead Space 2

I was playing Dead Space 2 and noticed some objects from The Sims 2, such as the toy mouse "Kitty Kraze Katnip" that cats play with, a toy fire truck "Little Heroes Fire Truck":

And a children's educational toy "Magical Mystery's "Shape, Rattle & Roll"":

My purpose is to search for Sims Merch and to just document it. When I'm not being biased towards the same 3 sims I am usually biased towards of course.
