General Features
    Build your reputation within the world, outside your hood, and through characters you'll hang with. Your goal is to be the biggest player in the city with ultimate access to the hottest places and people; an all-new character engine turns your urbz into hip city dwellers. Take your urbz out on the town to swanky new hot spots like the sushi bar, vip club, or even out to get a tattoo at the tattoo parlor; you now control your urbz 24/7 in the city that never sleeps. You directly control your urbz on the job to make sushi or strip down motorcycles, etc., to earn simoleans and gain access to new social interactions! Motive gameplay is more elegant than ever so that you fulfill your motives quicker and even have limited motives to manage in specific situations. You can bounce into a hip boutique and change your look in-game from Rasta to rap, affecting how the world perceives you; choose to live in one of nine districts, each with its own unique inhabitants and their lifestyles. Depending on which district you pick your gameplay experience and the way you earn your reputation will be different.
