The Sims 2 (GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox)/The Urbz Leftovers
This is a sub-page of The Sims 2 (GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox).
 | This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes. |
 | To do: Any leftover animations? |
It's semi-notorious that this game shares many engine elements from The Urbz: Sims in the City, as evidenced by the reused animations, slightly-reskinned furniture and weird anatomy of Sims themselves. Predictably, there's tons of leftovers to be found within the files. Unused content from that game will not be covered on the page, nor leftovers from Bustin' Out.
In the console versions of The Sims 2: Pets and The Sims 2: Castaway, almost all of the textures and leftovers present on this page were removed to make room for the new content included in that game.

Leftover Character Renders
The Character Renders from the "Select A Style" screen remain as well.
Leftover Title Logos
There's even title logos, listed under "ui_logo_dark". The English logo is replaced by the Sims 2 Console placeholder logo, while the Korean, Italian, Finnish and even Chinese logo files are still in English!

Leftover Sounds
Sadly, none of the game's original catchy soundtrack is present in the files. Though, some sound effects remain.
The sound effects for the Power Social meter exist, but they're all blank.
XAM Ringtones
All of the leftover XAM Ringtones are present in SAMPLES.ARC.

Leftover Jingles
| Filename | Leftover sound | Additional information |

| sting_revive | If an Urb dies of hunger in the original game, a paramedic NPC will come out of nowhere and revive it rather than the Urb just dying. There is already a completely different "revived" jingle for this game. | |
