Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Urbz, The: Sims In The City - Strategy Guide (Page 03).
-Distract Winky Weebucks
Go to the Carnival and meet Pepper Pete there. Now you have to go
through the maze. Go to the left end and walk towards Winky Twice. Then
walk right twice. Now go forward and you're through. Talk to Winky and
you have distracted him.
Congratulations, you have beaten Mission S. You will now see the
credits.

|Rep Mission/ (Wtm7)
\----------/-----------------------------------------------------------
Rep Missions are gained by getting rep points. Some require 3 rep
points and others require more. To see how many points you have, click
on Urb Info, in the menu on the touch screen, and choose Rep Group.
Some ways to get rep points are by lowering your points with that
group's rival. For example, if you want more points in the Richies
group, you will need to lower your points with the Streeties group.
Rivals: Richies – Streeties
Artsies – Nerdies
Another way to get more points if by finding the group trophy and
giving it to the leader.
Leaders: Richies- Luthor L. Bigbucks
Streeties- Darius
Artsies- Roxanna Moxie
Nerdies- Polly Nomial
Trophy Locations:
-Richies
Head over to Glasstown Mega-Mall 2 (Upstairs). Check to the right of
the large white computers at the end.
-Streeties
Head to the grave, then go to the other side that leads to the
Mausoleum. You should see two graves. Check to the right of the
rightmost grave.
-Artsies
Head to the Bayou. When you reach the stump, turn left and go all the
way until you reach two plants. Distract them using "B" and then search
the tree behind them.
-Nerdies
Head to the Carnival but don't enter in. Instead head strait up, you
should see a trash can and a tree. Search the tree.

REP MISSIONS
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Streeties:
-Seriously annoy Daddy Bigbucks (Rel -50)
Find Daddy Bigbucks and annoy him a lot. You can find Daddy Bigbucks at
the end of the same, where you got the Nutria for Roxanna. Another way
to get him over, if it is not the end of the game, is to call him
through the phone. Keep trying and he will eventually come over.
-Convince someone to join the Streeties
Find and become friends with Ewan and he will join the Streeties.
-Get the highest promotion in Basketball
Play the Hoopz game and get the highest promotion.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Nerdies:
-Get best promotion in Dr. Max Stat Minigame
Play the game until you get all 5 promotions.
-Create a Petrified Wood Chess Piece
If you got the 100 Relationship with Det. Dan D. Mann (Check secrets
section), you will find the hidden short cut to the bayou. The short
cut sometimes has petrified wood. If not, head to the bayou, and look
behind those plants that try to attack you. Take that wood and buy a
Woodcarving Table, Craftmaestro Pro Bench OR a Craftmaestro Mini-Bench
and carve a piece of wood, then carve it again and you should have
created a Chess Piece. If you didn't, try again or get your creativity
up.
-Sell 15 Giant Bog Frogs to the Deputy
Get 15 Giant Bog frogs and head into the jail. Give the guy that buys
all the junk off you the 15 Giant Bog frogs.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Artsies:
-Get beset promotion in Comedy Club Minigame
Play the game until you get all 5 promotions.
-Bake a Strawberry Tiramisu
Look in the recipe section for how to bake a Strawberry Tiramisu.
-Clean up the city! Recycle 100 piles of trash
If you didn't keep all the 100 piles of trash before, you won't be able
to complete this mission. After you get this Rep Mission, and you have
100 piles of trash all at once, then go and recycle it.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Richies:
-Get best promotion in Moogoo Monkey Minigame
Play the game until you get all 5 promotions.
-Own $30,000 of items
Keep buying items and put them in your house. Sooner or later you will
have $30,000 worth of items.
-Have $10,000 in cash
You just have to have the money with you. Once this quest has been
checked off, you can use the money and it won't uncheck.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Money/Games (Mon4)|
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
You can make money with many different ways. You can play games, for
one. Games can get you a lot of money, especially the mini game Hoopz.
If you get the highest promotion, and you're really good at it, you can
get 2,000 simoleons. So if you're planning on playing only one game a
day, make it hoopz.
You can also do other things to get money like sell trash, cans etc.
But if you want to fully complete the game, save the trash for the
artistes rep mission (you need about 100 of them).
A good way to make money is if you talk to someone and ask them for
an errand, and you complete it, you will get lots of money. If you ask
someone and they want you to deliver to Luther or Daddy Bigbucks, you
will get about 800 simoleons.
You can also find wood all over the place and sell them for money.
And you can carve them in to sculptures and sell those.

| Secrets (Scr5)|
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
If you want more places to put your stuff, here are some ways to get
them. If you get a 100 relationship with the following people, you can
get hidden places:
Phoebe- A trashcan will appear beside club Xizzle and King Tower. Click
A on it and you can enter.
Guiseppi- You can enter the bus in Urbania. It's near the store where
you first buy furniture.
Ewan- If you go to the dock, there will be a new place.
Theresa Bullhorn- Projection booth behind the counter at the cinema.
If you open up Splicer Island, you can get a new place to live there
too.
-------
If you get 100 relation ship with Det. Dan, there will be a short cut
where the poster is beside the jail cell that leads to the Bayou. You
will also see the cheat ninja escaping for a second.
Also, if you buy the green meteorite from the computers (online) you
will get access to the moon base using the phone. You can also live
here.
-------
At 2-3:00 Am, head over to the carnival and go to the top corner
visit the cheat ninja. He will sell drinks which will give you a skill
point. The rosebud gives you extra money! super.cyber.kid@rcn.com has
informed me that the paper does do something (which I thought doesn't).
Your home has a fire-code, or a limit of items. The paper increases the
amount of items you can have in your home before the fire-code
restricts you.
You can also find the ninja at the following places:
6 am- Hidden tunnel between jail and bayou.(Need Rel 100 with Det. Dan)
10am- Moon Base
? - Time machine year 1984

TIPS/HINTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-When you first come to Urbania, you should stay at the jail for a
couple of days. It has everything you need and you can play Hoopz for
lots of money so that when you get a house you can pay your bills
easily and buy some nice furniture, and maybe a house alarm so you
don't get robbed so much.
-Sell all the cans you find and license plates for money. Don't sell
any trash, though, if you want to complete the Artistes Rep Mission.
-Collect some wood to sell it. And when you get to Sim Quarter, buy the
carving table and make the wood into sculptures and sell them for more
money.
-If you need more money, ask people for errands to do, you can get a
lot of money this way.
-Try to get Xizzles early in the game, so that it's a lot easier to
play the game.
-If you want to find people, use the phone booths or pay phones to call
them and find out where they are. Or you can go to Club Xizzles to find
people. You can also use the phone in your house to invite someone over
and if they like your house, they will give you something.
-When you unlock paradise island and can be eaten by a plant – DO get
eaten by the plants – when you return you are 2/3 full of everything!
It saves lots of time and costs nothing. However, once you find 3
workers and the money, the plants will be gone. (Thanks to Jared)
OTHER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicles
--------
Gravboard- This board you get from Berkeley Clodd when you complete
Mission 2.4. Berkeley laughs at you because it doesn't have
wheels but you don't need them because it's a hover board!
Just make sure you have it in your pockets and press R to
start using it. Keep tapping A to go faster.
Motorcycle- This you get by completing the mission with Dusty Hogg. You
can change the color of your motorcycle if you want to.
Just press A to accelerate.
Fan boat- You can get the fan boat from Gordie in mission 4.4. Just
press A to accelerate.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Glitches (Gli5)|
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
-Many people have had this problem. After getting the people for the
pet show, the quest does not check off.
-I have been told about this glitch. Some people can't trigger the cut
scene with Winky Weebucks when they find him in the carnival. This is
what you do; start on the farthest to the left. Then walk forward
twice, right twice and up once. When you go up once though, move a bit
more to the right. And then walk forward and you should get the cut
scene. If you do not, go back through the maze and try again.
-When you are your own pet in Mission S, don't try the hover board as
it will freeze your game.
-When you need to dress up as Pepper Pete, if you forget to dress up,
Olde Salty will block the way, if there is an empty can near him, you
can try to get it, and you may get stuck. If this happens, you can't
choose any options on the touch screen, so you have to start over from
your recent save point.
-During the mission when you need to talk to the Albino Alligator, the
game will freeze if you try to talk to him immediately after you two
stop talking. This will force you to turn off the game and restart from
the last save point. (Thanks to Andy for this glitch)
-Out side the Mega-Mall, if you ride your motorbike right where the
door is, get off and enter the Mega-Mall and then leave again, you
can't get the bike back, you will just enter the mall. The only way to
get the bike back is to get caught in jail, (either running if your on
that mission or trying to enter the lab in King's tower at the wrong
time- if your on that mission).
-If your walking your pet and you enter the time machine, your game
will freeze and you will have to turn your game off and start over from
the last save point.
