The Urbz: Sims In The City GBA/DS OST Remastered

The Urbz: Sims in the City was developed by Griptonite Games, and published by Electronic Arts in November 2004. This recording was made from the original source files I composed, and remastered to sound a little nicer than the original hardware. This video is a lot longer than my average video, because I wanted to give two repeats of each song in the traditional VGM style.

This game had the best soundtrack omg

[@IanStocker]

High praise, thank you

[@2Shkololo]

Besides bustin'out

[@AndyMcyum]

this game is underrated as hell and an untapped indie market.

[@IanStocker]

It's probably only a matter of time before an inspired indie or small team takes up the challenge of making a story-and-character-driven "life simulation adventure" or however you would define the handheld Sims games. Though I have personally transitioned into indie development, I wouldn't be able to do the character and world building for something like this...

[@AndyMcyum]

@@IanStocker if it happens I will be there for it. I have no skills in game design or game development, but if I saw someone trying to capture the magic of these awesome games I would support them immediately

[@soup-bowl]

@@IanStocker Is there any way to find out if EA/Maxis/Griptonite placed a copyright on how the game was presented, or just the Sims/urbz trademark? I'm only a general purpose programmer, but I do miss this style of isometric basic life simulator with a story, and would love to give a shot at making one, but wouldn't want to fall afoul of copyright.

[@dibkle]

Huh, there's been an idea floating around in my head for a game similar to this for a while, I guess I don't really have the technical know-how or the discipline to make a full-fledged game though.

[@kevinrosario2729]

I remember having an idea of making an open world 2D game in a similar style to the GBA Sims games with quality of life improvements and a larger world. I've never touched game design but if i do this would be a dream project. I injected so many hours of my childhood into this game.

[@HeatmanMKIII]

This music is half the game. It brings life to its world

[@IanStocker]

Thank you for saying so!

The Urbz is something from my early childhood that will stick with me forever. The game always had that borderline creepy and unnervingly wacky feel to it -- and i LOVED it; especially when my character cried... and when those shadow people floated in front of me when the music cut out, and when i lost at Comic Explosion and Doctor Max Stat... good times.

[@catalystzerova]

I just had a flashback to some of the most fun times of my childhood :) Thanks for that

[@loelldebach8450]

Truthfully, the main reason this game and (especially) sims bustin out have stuck with me this long and are cemented in my memory, is because of this amazing soundtrack. Even putting nostalgia aside, these soundtracks are still to this day so damn good

[@IanStocker]

thank you! great to hear and best wishes

[@0wnij]

1:11:41 “Glasstown (night)” is so good

[@kvchi2197]

I think the king tower music is a masterpiece

[@IanStocker]

It's one of the simplest songs but it really stands up. Good thing too because the player has to listen to like 10 repeats of it in the first part of the game.

[@NyanGeneral]

The original game would honestly only have been half as good if the music was generic. The music does a fantatic job of capturing that urban atmosphere and i sometimes listen to this on the bus. Also the songs on their own are fantastic, my favourites are bayou and glass city day.

[@IanStocker]

I spent more time on Glass City Day than any other. At the end I wasn't sure if it came together or not, since I became kind of numb to it and just had to call it complete. Listening back now it works pretty well.

I absolutely loved _The Sims: Bustin' Out!_ , _The Sims 2_ and especially this game _The Urbz: Sims In The City_ - I played it all the time on my GBA back in the days! The music and jingles were especially wonderful and a lot of them I still have in my head sometimes at random moments, and I believe we have to thank you for their existence, so, I'm glad that I am finally able to say: Thank You For The Music, Ian! I am really happy that we now have this complete collection in better quality to relive all those great Urbz moments :)

[@BowserN64]

There's a lot of times I'll complete a really hard task at work or something and I'll hear the "Mission Complete" jingle music in my head! It just kind of fits all aspects of life. I guess that's why I've always loved the Sims games. It lets you step back and laugh at life in a whole different light.

[@handlotion8244]

As a 22 year old im just starting to really find myself and figure out what i want to do, and it’s so weird to admit how huge of an impact this game and soundtrack have had on my life and my future career.

[@lightninstriker10]

One of my favorite handheld games of all time, I still go back to it every few years to give it another playthrough, as someone who doesn't really get the mainline Sims games, but adores the style Griptonite brought to the franchise for the portable entries (aside from The Sims 2.. never really liked the vibe it had, always seemed a bit dry and.. honestly disturbing most of the time.) I absolutely adore Bustin' Out and this game especially, the DS version was one of the first games I bought for the handheld when I heard it was an expanded port.

[@IanStocker]

They did a style of Sims game we haven't really seen since, to my knowledge

[@dark.1219]

It’s about damn time... Thanks for making my childhood fucking awesome

[@Purrfect_Werecat]

I feel like there was such potential with bustin out and urbz, shame it didnt continue i guess. I still go back and replay them both one after the other sometimes.

[@IanStocker]

Looking back, nobody really made any games like this before or since. I think there is still a market, but the stars need to align to fund another story-driven "life sim" game.

In French, we have the expression "madeleine de Proust". It refers to a small thing, like a smell, a taste or a sound, that triggers a sudden and vivid memory of a particular moment or experience from the past. The term comes from the writer Marcel Proust, who wrote about how the taste of a madeleine cake dipped in tea brought back a flood of memories from his childhood. This game is a part of my childhood that I hold very dear to my heart. I'm glad that you could provide a high quality version of its soundtrack that, as somebody said in the comments, brought so much life to this game. If you don't mind me asking, how old were you when you were commissioned to compose these songs ?

I can't imagine any other game capturing the 2000s "urban" trend in a nice package, that's not GTA or Saints Row lmfao. I hate to use descriptors that have fallen out of favor, but that's really what it was. And this is way more easygoing. Basically the atmosphere of Hey Arnold without the existential moral crises for kids. The gaming world would do well to tap into this very particular 2000s vibe and create that Urbz-Hey Arnold life simulator, crises included. Makes another good save-the-city storyline too 🤣

You know, I'm building a collection of games only with soundtracks produced by you, Ian. Thank you so much for these super atmospheric tunes. It's a real trip to the early 00's, even if I didn't play these game back then.

[@IanStocker]

so cool to hear that they have held up after all this time! thank you :-)

[@virgovlog-vlog]

I sincerely wish the whole album including Bustin Out are available on Spotify 😭💔

handheld game developers got a different level of freedom and creativity back in the day when they actually had the budget

[@briannab4770]

Thanks so much for going through the trouble of remastering and compiling these. You didn't have to do this, but we love that you did. This is absolutely lovely.

[@RicardoRos]

thank god you release this one!!! I hope you release one day the source files of the games, like midis and everything else to bring a remix scene to these three games! sending lots of support from Venezuela

Urbania (Night) has been stuck in my head since my DS broke about 7 years ago and I can finally listen to it! THANK YOU!

[@maaallystedmun]

[@safd007]

[@Thefellomens]

These songs are absolute bangers thank you so much for creating them

[@IanStocker]

Be sure to post a recording if you end up learning the song!

I just wanna say that you’re the coolest composer ever and I really, really appreciate you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sometimes we want to be rich af like Daddy Bigbucks, or being smart like Poly Nomial, or being a musician like Canonball Coleman. But in the end we are ourselves

[@kaschwarkatercus6693]

Thanks a lot for the upload of these tracks, it sounds even better than the already existing video of MaxOfS2D.

[@IanStocker]

You're welcome!

TV - Action is something my sister and I would sing and laugh about because of how hammy and goofy it was, especially when we thought about our characters doing the worm do it lmao

[@IanStocker]

this is a track that brings a smile to my own face when I hear it :-) mission accomplished

[@mikahong]

You made these tracks? Omg I played the game when I was a kid and they stuck in my brain since then, I'm 24 now! Such bangers. Definitely one of the more memorable soundtracks for the sims.

[@AvitalShtap]

This wonderfully composed music has changed my life and my taste in music forever. I can't thank you enough. I associate different times of days and urbans/country places with the cool grooves here. Of all the game and movie soundtracks that defined my life, this is probably in the top three. I can't thank you enough for the true funkadelic fun grooves and the attention to detail/genre with which they're all written. The hip hop, the jungle Moogoo Monkey beats, the operation room music, the zydeco New Orleans grooves that callback to the Sims 1 ....I have loved this soundtrack for decades and don't plan on stoppping anytime soon. Thanks, big time.

[@koumousii]

Urbania (Night) is amazing in the quality you uploaded!! All the clashing timbres and delays, really one of the prettier abstract pieces in the game!! God bless

[@IanStocker]

That was a really fun one to make, didn't go through many revisions either once I did the first version

[@bluedoom]

Glasstown (day) is a masterpiece You are the 🐐

[@21StaticXXSaint13]

This OST has been in my top 5 ever since I first played Urbz: Sims in the City on my DS as a kid. I've literally gone out of my way to share it with people just to show them how good it is, and I still listen to it from time to time when I'm drawing or editing things I really can't praise it enough. You did great work with this

[@IanStocker]

Thank you my friend

[@sebastiansantander384]

Same !! One of my favorite OSTs
