The Urbz: Sims in the City is a video game created by Maxis and Griptonite Games for handheld platforms like the Nintendo DS or Game Boy Advance, but it was mainly built for home consoles like the Nintendo GameCube or Sony's PlayStation 2, as well as the original Xbox, published by Electronic ARts on November 17, 2004, in North America, and March 11, 2005, in Europe.
The Urbz: Sims in the City is part of EA's hugely successful Sims franchise, like its name suggests, but looks at the regular mechanics of the series from the perspective of customizing your own character and then helping him or her live in a busy urban environment filled with quests that give you access to even more customization options, and even with unique appearances of music from real-life groups like the Black Eyed Pease.

Freeze game - Once you end up on the bayou, find the dark tree. After talking to Lloyd the lizard, immediately press A as he vanishes to talk to him again. A screen that looks like the normal talk screen, but without a person at a top, options, or a return button, appears. The music will continue for a few seconds then skip repeatedly. You must turn off the DS to continue playing. - Once you have completed the game and have a pet from Splicer Isle, go up to your time machine on top of King Tower with your pet. Try to enter the time machine with your pet. The game will freeze because the time machine only fits one person. Note: Save the game before attempting this. - At the end of the game (mission S), you are an animal. When you go to the carnival to get to Winky, get around him and you can find Pepper Pete. If you talk to him the game will freeze. - Note: You must have your hoverboard in your pockets to do this. On Mission S, after the pet show you will go to the lab and turn into your pet. Go outside and press R. You will hear the hoverboard sound but will tranform into a random pet, but be covered in electricity. Quickly, press random directions on the D-pad and you will transform into another animal. You cannot move, therefore you must turn off the DS to exit.
