Create-an-Urb

Before being able to play The Urbz: Sims in the City (handheld), the player must create an Urb by selecting Create-an-Urb on the game's main menu. Create-an-Urb is a character creator with limited customization, including a small quiz to sort the player Urb within one of the four Rep Groups.

Create-a-Bod
Within the "Create-a-Bod" menu, the player can edit their Urb's name, gender, skin tone, hair style, and hair color.
 * The name cannot be longer than 9 characters.
 * The game allows for uppercase and lowercase letters as well as numbers.
 * Gender can only be switched between female and male.
 * There are only 6 skin tones to choose from.NDS Skintone Selections.png
 * Hair style options are dependent on the Urb's gender. Both female and male Urbz have 4 hair style options (total of 8 between genders).NDS Hairstyle Selections.png
 * There are 10 hair color options.NDS Haircolor Selections.png

The Threads
Within "The Threads" menu, the player can edit their Urb's clothing and colors. The clothing depends on the Urb's gender.

Female Urbz
Female Urbz wear a shirt, skirt, and boots.

The shirt can be changed between 6 styles, allowing the player to choose a independently-colored sleeved shirt, a solid color sleeved shirt, or a sleeveless shirt. There are 33 colors to choose for shirts. The skirt cannot be stylized beyond color and must be one solid color (using the same 33 color options as the shirt).

Lastly, female Urbz wear tall boots that cannot be stylized beyond color and must be one solid color. However, unlike the shirt and skirt, the boots have a limited selection of only 17 colors.

Male Urbz
Male Urbz wear a shirt, pants, and nondescript shoes.

The shirts can be changed between 6 styles, allowing the player to choose a long sleeved or short sleeved shirt. There are 33 colors to choose for shirts. The pants cannot be changed stylized color and must be one solid color (using the same 33 color options as the shirt).

Lastly, male Urbz wear shoes that cannot be stylized beyond color and must be one solid color. However, unlike the shirts and pants, the shoes have a limited selection of only 17 colors.

Questions
The "Questions" section is the last part of Create-an-Urb and is meant to sort your Urb within one of four Rep Groups and generate a list of 7 Xizzles. There are 6 questions with multiple-choice answers. The questions and answers are static and do not change regardless of previous choices.

Rep Group and Xizzle Manipulation
No matter how the player answers the questions, there are a finite amount of outcomes. As well, the player can back out and re-do the questions to generate new outcomes before finalizing their Urb, allowing for endless outcome manipulation.

The very first question decides the player Urb's Rep Group; as well, each Rep Group has a guaranteed Xizzle associated with it. The table below lists the answer and corresponding outcome: Gender also determines one Xizzle, as well. The extra 5 Xizzles are determined by the last 5 questions and it's easiest to simply re-do the quiz - changing one answer at a time - until you get the desired Xizzles. Notably, a Xizzle can only be received once; however, some answers give the same Xizzle. In the case of choosing an answer that typically gives an Xizzle already granted by a past answer, a different Xizzle will be given.
