“ | Hello, my name is Mambo Loa. I foresaw your visiting me many months ago, and while I see that my prophecy has come true, I must admit that you are much shorter than the person in my visions. | ” |
—Mambo Loa, The Urbz: Sims in the City
|
Mambo Loa is an Urb featured in The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld and an NPC Sim featured The Sims 2 for PlayStation Portable. She is a psychic and knows quite a lot about paranormal activities.
Biography[]
Life leading up to The Urbz: Sims in the City[]
Mambo first appears when the Sim Quarter is unlocked. During The Ballad Of Pepper Pete, she tells the player that she saw a vision of Daddy Bigbucks' plans to buy the Riverboat from Olde Salty. She then helps the player's Urb disguise themselves as Olde Salty's brother Pepper Pete to try and convince Olde Salty not to sell the riverboat.
The plan turns out to be successful, but Daddy Bigbucks immediately throws the player into the river after he finds out that they were responsible.
Mambo is later involved in Interview With A Cajun Vampire, when the player asks her about a cure after Bayou Boo is turned into a vampire: the cure is stated as a helping of chocolate.
Mambo can be found in the Fortune Teller's Shop most of the time, or occasionally by the gate to the Cemetery. She is one of a few characters who never appear in Club Xizzle.
Life leading up to The Sims 2 (PSP)[]
Mambo is found on the Service Station in her little store, Curio Shoppe. After talking to Oscar Del Fuego in his garage, where the game begins, he will send the player's Sim to talk to Mambo. Once met, Mambo will offer to give the Sim the 'reading', which is a personality test based on which aspiration and personality will be chosen.
She will also teach the player how to fulfill wants, take care of their Sim's needs, etc. She is an important part of the game in the beginning.
Later on in the game, the player will need to return to her to find a cure for vampirism. She will tell the player they need some garlic, plasma, cooking skill, and a crafting bench. There are two available crafting benches in Strangetown; one in Isaac Rossum's home and the other opposite Pita Florica's store in Deadtree.
The player can always return to Curio Shoppe even if not needed for a mission, though, to purchase food and other items, or to speak to Mambo or Bella Goth, which are both in the store. Mambo is interested in secrets about Magic, the Supernatural, and Deputy Duncan's Intimate Secret.
Mambo Loa's secrets from The Sims 2 (PSP):
(Personal): Mambo Loa uses mild head-shrinking techniques to keep her hair in line.
(Intimate): When she gets that thousand-mile stare in her eyes, you know she's in love. Or insane.
(Dark): Mambo's got a voodoo doll of everyone in town... just in case they mess with the Mambo.
(Trash Donuts): Mambo Loa hides her donuts in the trash can in the restroom. Gross!

Trivia[]
- A grave in the Deadtree graveyard says "Bruce displeased the mambo." This could be a reference to Mambo due to her supernatural powers.
- In both games in which she appears, Mambo helps the player find a cure for vampirism. However, the recipes are different.
- In The Urbz: Sims in the City, the recipe is 'lots and lots of chocolate.' This involves shoving three bars of chocolate into a blender and baking it. This creates a chocolate bunny.
- In The Sims 2, the recipe is a combination of plasma and garlic and is made at a workbench given that the player has at least a cooking skill of 4.
