How it plays
How does Urbz, The - Sims in the City (Japan) play?
Guide the created character through city districts, satisfy daily needs, meet contacts, complete objective chains, and use the DS-specific touch activities or mini-games. Progress is based on goals and reputation rather than a single linear story, so different routines can lead to the same district unlock.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Urbz, The - Sims in the City (Japan)?
Keep needs stable before starting a long goal chain, spend early money on useful improvements, and read the objective conditions carefully. Try a different social route only after saving, because some tasks depend on which character or district is currently active.
