Miniopolis
An overview of Miniopolis
Miniopolis is one of the major cities in SimNation. It is the location of The Urbz: Sims in the City for the Nintendo's Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS handheld consoles. This city is mentioned in The Sims 2 for Game Boy Advance. Its name could be a parody of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The city is also likely based off of New Orleans.
The main antagonist is named Daddy Bigbucks. He buys King Tower in Glasstown and plans to demolish Miniopolis, then rebuild it with ticket booths, taxes, and more materialistic ideas.

The player can play miscellaneous carnie games as the carnival and Squeegee Clean at the top of King Tower.
Urbania[]

It contains the Jail, Miniopolis Chronicle, Miniopolis Hospital, an entrance to Club Xizzle, Second Looks Thrift Emporium (Phoebe Twiddle's shop), a Junked Schoolbus (that the player can get access to by maxing out friendship with Giuseppi Mezzoalto), Slice O' Life Pizza, two houses that the player can purchase, and a Workshop. There are also four minigames in this area, Hoopz (top of the police station), Doctor Max Stat! (Miniopolis Hospital), Comic Explosion (Slice O' Life Pizza), and Motocross Mayhem (the workshop).
Sim Quarter[]

Bayou[]
The player's Urb wakes up here after being tossed into the water, and all the missions are about escaping and helping out the two residents, Bayou Boo and Crawdad Clem. There is not much in the area other than the Twins' Bayou Shack. The player can play a minigame called "Soul Music" with the Red Man in this area as well.
Paradise Island[]
Paradise Island is a small island with a beach. It has a small store which sells tiki themed items, and a hammock for the Urb to sleep on. During a mission, the player will play a reality TV show on it.
Splicer Island[]
Splicer Island is only included in the DS version. After 10 days, Futo Maki has used the monkeys in the ruins and worked on it. Splicer Island will be rebuilt and now the player can do all of the good stuff which includes gene splicing and pet contests.
