It seems like you can't find or invite Harlan King to your home after finishing the game. Better max his relationship before that.

To follow on from what Nels01 said your best bet is to 100 him when you get kidnapped by Ninja. Max out your mood and learn what works and what doesn't. If you get exhausted and leave, I don't think you can see Harlan again as I couldn't find out where he was or invite him over after the mission. So yeah, basically you got one shot in the story where you can befriend him, and that's in the hidden area the ninja takes you.

I love this game and playing through it has been fun, that was until having full Rep points. I don't know if they are glitched but sometimes I seem to be missing a few even tho I have all the condition fulfilled.

For the Nerdies for example I had to redo the same thing two / three times until for some reason it gave me all the appropriate points.

I am now only missing the Richies, I live in the penthouse, I am friend with all the members (including 100 on luthor) max skill, -5 with the rival and I gave them the trophy a while ago, but even tho I should be at 10 with all of those, I'm only at 8 for some reason ?

I was going to do a second play through to get a clean slate and hope to get the 10 points, but I'm at chapter 3 and it seems I have a negative rep point ?? Which is probably what's affecting my old save.

If any of you know what's causing a negative rep point and how to get rip of it I would really appreciate the help, I'm so close to finishing this.

I have no idea what was different this time, but I did a playthrough following the speedrun any% guide to go chapter 4 as fast as possible and after farming for all the things this time I got the rep points first try (I'm sure now that my old save was glitched somehow), I'm done!

Ended up playing this for way longer than I needed to but in the end it was still fun !
Thank your for the set ;)

Anyone know why my furniture keeps disappearing from my house at random? It's not being stolen it just disappears and I'm left with just a wood carving table.

Are Xizzle beads finite? I foolishly spent all mine at once the moment I unlocked club Xizzle...
Jayzor 27 Apr 2024 18:43
I think so, but even after I bought all my perks I still have 20 xixxle beads left over and I don't think I've found them all
safi900 27 Apr 2024 18:53
Thanks!
Jayzor 27 Apr 2024 20:18
After checking I actually have 22 leftover xizzles, so Im assuming you can buy all the perks and still end up with 25 left over

I'm undertaking a comprehensive repair plan for this set. For the most part, this tightens up achievement logic to add save protection (along with some other bells and whistles, like adding leaderboards for minigame scores -- which is still being deliberated).

There's also a patch now linked (and available in the forum thread) which fixes the issue with disappearing trash and also allows same-sex romance options between Urbz. Check out the forum thread for more information about the plan.

Oh, cool revision! I thought it a little disappointing that the maximum promotions had no associated achievements, glad that's not the case anymore.
Jayzor 12 May 2024 18:51
Kinda inconvenient as I already had most of the max promotions for the jobs and now seems I can't get them without starting the game again
Souzooka 12 May 2024 19:00
I agree (I actually have some promotions at level 5 myself) but it's a necessary compromise to prevent people from just loading a completed save game, or loading a save game and playing a minigame once, from getting those achievements.

@jayzor could ask for manual unlocks? I've had a few manual unlocks in my account history for weird things.

My first mastery!! It was a joy to return to Miniopolis once more :) It was painful getting my favorites into the negatives after already getting them to 100 for the sake of some cheevos, but it was a fun time nonetheless!! The bumper boat game is terrible tho lol
SoshiplayZ 28 Dec 2024 14:35
like a clown I donated trash early unaware the glitch... when I noticed the trash stopped spawning I had 86 trash collected but i got the 100 achievement. I do have a back up save not sure how far back it is. Looks like i wont bother with the reps until it's the final achivements... then it's time to start the DS urbz for the whole Splicer island :D
Souzooka 28 Dec 2024 21:52
If you use the patch, the trash will continue spawning again until the rep goal for selling 100 trash is completed.

Mastered!

I had a sudden urge to play this game, randomly stumbled upon it back in the day and dug the chill vibes. The game itself still plays quite nicely, it's a good mix between having to replenish your stamina meters and hunting around for things to do. Controls are simple enough, and you can quickly remember where everything is. It's really about using things like the phones to call and ask where people are hiding.

As for the set itself, I think it was well balanced. There isn't really anything that is forcefully grindy for the sake of doing it- these tasks are offered in the game as well.

My tips are overall broad, because the set only has 2 missable achievements. Make sure you don't leave the initial King Tower tutorial sequence without romancing the 4 ladies inside. After that, keep any and all Xizzle beads you come across until you've hit 25 in your inventory. Do NOT trade any before then. If you can, start playing using the patched version, so you don't hit the infamous "disappearing trash" glitch.

Other than that, my one less obvious, longer term tip is to aim towards filling the Richies rep group points first, and as quickly as possible. Getting indicted into each rep group grants you an exclusive item in the game, but by far the one the Richies give you is the best. Simply put, it is a sensory deprivation pod that you jump in like a bed, but within seconds it refills EVERY stamina bar to full. It doesn't even waste hours like normal sleeping does. It's insanely busted, and really opens up your ability to cut down waiting for more schedules per day.

As for the more difficult individual achievements like the minigames, I'll post in their respective comment pages if I have anything.

Best of luck!
juniperlagana 13 Jan 2025 19:25
I agree with Chromagram!! You can get the Richie-exclusive sensory deprivation tank as early as SimQuarter by accomplishing this:

1. Friends with all 4 Richies (Luther, Lottie, Misty, and Lily)
2. 100% Friendship with Luther
3. Have a Richie (Misty) as your roommate
4. -5% Friendship with Darius
5. Move into the Townhouse the instant it opens up in SimQuarter

At that point, you will have like 7 of the Richie Rep Points, which is enough to get the item. It's smooth sailing from that point!!

To get the other really crazy useful item, invite over Crystal. If she digs your vibe, she will give you a magic lamp that you can enter if you ever needd a bed to pass time quickly (or a toilet lol)

Happy hunting~!!

Mastered, never had the GBA copy, but I had the DS and chilled in Chapter 3. Had pleasant memories. This game felt like less of a grind and inconvenience than Bustin Out did. Griptonite's game design really jumped up.

I actually found this a lot more charming than the original Urbz, which I feel was underrated in it's theme and the idea of the city being divided into stereotype factions felt so 2000's cool. Here, it feels like a more grounded community with just enough of that Sim weird charm, much comfier than the console version.

The jobs felt varied and even with a few stinkers, it's batting average is still far better than the previous game. That and the Simoleons you get feels appropriate and like you actually get to splurge. The college was also a good middle ground between just trying to cheat with Heidi and building skills legit. However, I was already maxxed out in EVERYTHING before the Nerdie object or Heidi ever became useful...

Wish I could be the diplomat between all the factions. I understand you have to have your rivals. Streeties hating the Richies makes sense. But Nerdies hating the Art Students? Really? Most of my friend group are Artsies!
