Project Urbz Reboot - A Community Project

Hi all, I'm back and with a new community project!

Without further ado, I present you with Project Urbz Reboot, a community project to bring back the classic game 'The Urbz: Sims in the City'.

What Exactly Is 'Project Urbz Reboot’?

Good question, it's a community project with the goal of raising interest for an official reboot of the original The Sims spin-off 'The Urbz: Sims in the City’ and we're doing this by creating our own concept renders of the things we would like to appear in such a reboot.

But, What Is 'The Urbz’?

The Urbz was a spin-off game of The Sims, that took your Sim out of the suburbs and into the big city. It focused around building up your reputation with other Urbz to gain fame throughout the many city districts, each district had its own unique fashion style and interesting Urbz to meet and socialise with, and gaining fame in one district could unlock a new one to explore.

So, How Can I Help?

Support us by following our project on Twitter @UrbzReboot and spread the word! We want this to be a true community project, so if you've got any ideas, we’d like to hear them! Comment what you think would make a perfect Urbz game and we’ll turn our favourite ideas into renders to be featured in our project!
If you played the original The Urbz, maybe you'd like to make some recreations of the apartments and hangouts, to be used in our district concept screenshots.
Or you could make your own unique characters that you think would fit one of the Districts and we'll use them in our renders!

We’ll continue to update this project with new renders, screenshots, info, and more, and hopefully if we can raise enough hype for a reboot of this iconic game, our voices will be heard!


More info coming this Saturday...

    I guess you wouldn't like a PEGI 12 game, lol.

    As a die-hard fan of the Urbz this makes me very very happy. I've incorporated some of the Urbies in my game but I think I may just switch them out for the ones in this project since they are more accurate.

    Haha, no I think it'd have to be rated a little higher than that, but The Urbz always was a more mature game than The Sims! :D

    Glad you approve of our project! If you'd like to download the Urbz recreations, you can find them on KyrNolan's gallery page! :)

    Hmm... How about a convenience store that has a secret nightclub.

    This was one of my favorite games. Literally my only complaint about it was the inability to befriend/romance the 3 "villains"

    I've never played Urbz but since The Sims 3 I always wanted Urbz to come back somehow.
    Wish you luck guys with this project..

    This project looks amazing! I remember loving the Urbz Series!

    I remember playing it for the xbox. I loved it, but a lot of people didn't like it because of the load times.

    Can I just say YES

    I never really got into the Console version (even though I have the GameCube version,) It confused me and I had no idea what I was doing, so I only played 30 minutes of it and never played it again XD (I was 14 at the time)

    Who knows maybe I'll pop it in and play around with it... I've just been so busy...

    I did play the DS port though, which I have a more positive experience with.

    This is really nice, I wish you luck in your project :)

    Hahahahaha they are funny, I thought you would add the protagonist girl from the original Urbz, but too bad in this game there's no the same hairstyle.

    I still have the game for the ps2. Even though I can technically play it whenever, I don't, so stuff like this makes me miss it. I even downloaded the Foundry people and the lot someone had made for them for my Sims4 game.
    I wish you luck!
