The Sims have moved to the City where there's always action and where reputation means everything. In The Urbz: Sims in the City, you can go to work at such locations as the Sushi Bar, Chop Shop, or Bootleg Fireworks, Inc. Success at work brings promotions, access to new power socials, and gear to influence your new lifestyle. Flaunt your attitude by styling your Urbz, and then cross the velvet ropes of an uptown night club, or explore the subway to earn new skills and items.

Problems

Censor Effect

Under Direct3D, when active, the censor effect can cause graphical corruption. It will return back to normal when the censor effect is no longer on-screen. It can even crash Dolphin after a message box about "CreateTexture failed". Use OpenGL to avoid this problem.

The censor effect may cause VPS slow-down no matter what backend. Enable "Skip EFB Access from CPU" to fix this, although it will allow you to see your Sims like a nude Barbie doll. This also prevents graphical corruption under Direct3D.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

style="white-space:nowrap;Expression error: Unrecognized word "r".Expression error: Unrecognized word "r". Windows XP x86 Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 @ 2GHz ATI Radeon HD 4650 The emulation are very good, but is very slow, due the my old CPU: On the first apartment, I got 30FPS and 95% (Speed). On areas with a lot of objects and things occurring, 8-15FPS/40% to 60%.

I also tested on the 3.5 version of Dolphin, but keeps slow, again, due the processor. (Notes: On the r6676 version, both "MMU Speed Hack" and "Enable BAT" must be checked)

4.0-6080 Windows 8.1 x64 Intel Core i5-3210M @ 2.5GHz NVIDIA GeForce 610M Glitchy censor effect under Direct3D (documented in problems section). Used OpenGL instead. After that switch, game responded normally at 60FPS/60VPS. Minor slow-downs with censor effect active. Wildgoosespeeder
