The Urbz: Sims in the City Cheats and Glitches (DS)

The Urbz: Sims in the City is a video game made by Maxis and Griptonite Games for platforms like the GameCube, PlayStation 2 or Xbox, as well as for handheld systems like the Nintendo DS or Game Boy Advance, published by Electronic Arts on November 17, 2004, in North America, and March 11, 2005, in Europe.

The Urbz: Sims in the City, like its name suggests, is a variation on EA's extremely popular Sims franchise, this time trying to implement an overarching narrative about Sims growing up in urban environments and trying to tackle various issues, encompassed by missions, encountered by real people in their everyday life, and even features licensed music from hit group The Black Eyed Peas, which has been translated to Simlish, the fictional language spoken by the Sims in all their games.

GLITCHES

Strange movie color
When you are in the room that has the movie screen, talk to anyone. Exit the talk screen. The movie screen will be in a strange color, but the footage is the same.

Walk on water
After finishing mission 5, see Daddy Bigbucks on the island where you found the Dancing Nutria. If he is there, go back home. If you return and he is not there, try to run off the little island and go into the water. Sometimes, you can run on the water. You are free to roam to different screens of water. You just cannot run on land, except to your boat. If you run to Paradise Island, you will find Daddy Bigbucks there.
