Biography[]
Life leading up to The Sims Bustin' Out (handheld)[]
Daddy Bigbucks is a signature NPC in Bustin' Out for handheld. This means he is fully interactable, but cannot become the player's roommate. While Daddy Bigbucks is self-centered, money-obsessed and not exactly the nicest Sim around, he's not characterized as distinctly evil unlike future installments.
Daddy Bigbucks can be found in Cheatum and Howe's, Club Rubb, and the park, but he is most frequently found on Paradise Island. Because Paradise Island is only accessible after linking up with another copy of Bustin' Out, Daddy Bigbucks can be one of the harder NPCs to track down in SimValley.
Daddy Bigbucks claims to be responsible for 'every amusing thing that happens in town.' Directly, he states is responsible for funding most building projects, funding the roads, and even commissioning the music that the player hears everywhere.
In Level 4, Mission 5, Champion of the Simverse, Daddy Bigbucks is planning a triathalon, but the mayor of SimValley won't give it his blessing. In a hope to convince the mayor that the events would be exciting enough, Daddy Bigbucks gets the player to volunteer to do the triathalon's three events: chicken wrangling, bull riding, and boxing.
Chicken wrangling involves capturing the Veloci-Rooster. Bull riding involves climbing on a mechanical bull in the Country Café and beating Bucki Brock's bull riding record. Boxing, where the player must knock out Mad Willy Hurtzya in the ring. The player needs at least 6 body skill to do all of these events.
If the player completes all three events, Daddy Bigbucks will thank them by giving them §1,000 and announce the first annual "SimValley Extreme Games."
At the end of Level 4, the player is interested in moving into a bigger house, so Daddy Bigbucks offers to let them rent his summer mansion, although he requires §10,000 simoleons as a down-payment and, to 'check the player's character', for the player to have eight friends (+50 relationship) and to have at least two promotions across both Jam Session and Pizza Pandemonium.
In Level 5, Mission 4, Mystery of the Cosmos, the player is trying to join VirtuChem, but they need a sponsor. So, they have to get their relationship with Daddy Bigbucks up to 80. Once done, Daddy Bigbucks will take out his checkbook and write a grant. The grant is §10,000, but the player never actually receives the money, nor can they raise up the money to sponsor themself.
When Hester Primm is trying to get books for library, Daddy Bigbucks is one of the characters who will give the player a book when asked (he gives them one from his personal library).
Life leading up to The Urbz: Sims in the City (handheld)[]
Daddy Bigbucks is the main antagonist of The Urbz for handheld. He plans to buy the entire city and turn it into an amusement park, and it is up to the player to stop him. He is regarded as cruel, self-obsessed, and even refers to himself as an 'evil genius.'
Before ever meeting him, Daddy Bigbucks fires the player from their role as janitor in King Tower. He had bought the King Tower from Harlan King after offering Harlan a giant sum of money, an all expense paid trip to Paradise Island, and a private yacht. During the early missions, Daddy Bigbucks can be seen in his office, admiring and protecting a massive pile of coins on his desk. The door to his office is closed, so players cannot interact with him during this time or, for that matter, until after the main story is beat.
At the end of Mission 1, Goal 4, The Key, Daddy Bigbucks and his lawyer, Lily Gates, catch the player going through Lily's desk, looking for a key to get out of the tower. The player gives an excuse for why they're doing it, but Daddy Bigbucks won't believe them no matter what he says. Daddy Bigbucks announces his plans to the player, and believing the player "knows too much," he gets Det. Dan D. Mann to arrest them for stealing and trespassing.
During Mission 2, Goal 6, Road to the Sim Quarter, Gramma Hattie plans to organize a protest against Daddy Bigbucks. After the protest, Daddy Bigbucks shows up, goes red in anger, stomps his foot, and leaves, opening up the Sim Quarter for the player.
In Mission 3, Goal 1, Mission for the Mann, Det. Dan quests the player with staking out Olde Salty's riverboat for an anonymous tip he got. The player plays a single game of the minigame Moogoo Monkey and is approached by Giuseppi Mezzoalto, who says that he thinks that, just like him, the player is working for Daddy Bigbucks. Later on, the player intercepts and bugs a briefcase from Berkeley Clodd meant to be delivered to Giuseppi (and later to Daddy Bigbucks).
In Mission 3, Goal 2, Daddy Bigbucks and the Xizzle Factory[URBZ DS] or Batten Down the Hatches[URBZ GBA], Daddy Bigbucks is trying to buy the run-down Xizzle Factory[URBZ DS] or bumper boat ride[URBZ GBA] so he can build a dam near the property. Lily Gates is there at the docks in an attempt to buy it for him, although she is hesitant to do so despite Daddy Bigbucks' hounding to get the deal closed. After getting Ewan Watahmee, Dusty Hogg and Polly Nomial to help restore the area, Daddy Bigbucks' plans are thwarted, and Lily has to go and tell him the bad news.
During Mission 3, Goal 3, None Shall Pass, Gramma Hattie is planning to create secret meetings to plot to take Daddy Bigbucks down for good, and she wants the player to guard them during their midnight meetings in the cemetery. While the player is guarding the meeting, Daddy Bigbucks arrives, suspecting something is up, and tries to get the player to let him through. If the player chooses the correct dialogue options, Daddy Bigbucks will leave and hire either Darius (if the player got to 5 Body skill first) or Lily Gates (if the player got to 5 Charisma skill) to try to get past the player. If the player chooses an incorrect option at any time, Daddy Bigbucks will walk past the player and interrupt the meeting. The player will have to try to complete the Goal another night.
Luthor L. Bigbucks in Mission 3, Goal 5, High Society, wants to open the museum for him and all of the Richies to hobnob in. When questioned by the player why he doesn't just ask his father to open it for him, he says that Daddy Bigbucks, who had plans to turn the museum into a private sauna, shoots down all of his ideas.
Mambo Loa informs the player that Daddy Bigbucks is intending to purchase Salty's riverboat and they have to dress up like Pepper Pete, Olde Salty's brother and previous owner of the riverboat, to stop the sale before it's too late. At the end, the player successfully dissuades Olde Salty from selling the boat to Daddy Bigbucks. Furious at the player for foiling his plans again, Daddy Bigbucks picks up the player and throws them into the bayou, being watched by Luthor and Lily.
During Mission 4, Goal 1, The Greatest Fear, a massive vision of Daddy Bigbucks with a light stick prevents the player from entering the Dark Tree before the player finds the light rod. Later, Lloyd mentions that Daddy Bigbucks has been going through the bayou to collect nuclear power rods.
After returning from the Bayou, the player gets arrested the first time that they try to run, activating Mission 4, Goal 4, Running From the Law. The player learns that Daddy Bigbucks has gotten running criminalized, citing 'noise pollution.' To reverse this act, the player gets Gramma Hattie, who is in jail with them, to write a letter to the governor and Gordie Puck to sent the letter.
To start Mission 4, Goal 6, The Bigbucks Players, Theresa Bullhorn is frustrated by the way Daddy Bigbucks has been managing her Cinema, so the player suggests she makes a satirical play about him. She does, naming it "The Musical Mousetrap," with Dusty Hogg playing Daddy Bigbucks and Sue Pirnova playing Lily Gates. Daddy Bigbucks is invited to the play and after it, as predicted, makes him furious, he runs off, muttering about "going back to the beginning" and "owning it all." Theresa thinks it has something to do with a secret project that Daddy Bigbucks is rumored to be working on in King Tower, but no more elaboration is given.
During Mission 5, Goal 2, Back to the Drawing Board, Luthor says that he hasn't been able to find his dad anywhere since he ran off during the play, saying that he had seen him hanging around some Nerdies. As it turns out, Daddy Bigbucks had contracted Polly Nomial to work with him on his secret project by overseeing the construction of a high-tech astrophysics laboratory. Polly helped because she thought he was interested in science and learning, but that isn't true. Worried that she may be responsible for Miniopolis' demise, she tells the player how to access Daddy Bigbucks' secret lab (by looking for a switch (found in a bookcase) and pulling it from 3am-4am). The player breaks into a secret lab under Daddy Bigbucks' office, collects some mysterious blueprints, and delivers them to Luthor. Luthor is mad aboud it and swears to put an end to this 'secret lab' business.
If the player wanders near the top of the Carnival before Mission 5, Goal 4, Captured! has started, a ninja throws a smoke bomb at the player and brings them to the secret lab, next to Harlan King. As it turns out, Daddy Bigbucks hired the ninja to kidnap the player and keep them out of his plans, and Harlan King, to get information about the layout of the city. Daddy Bigbucks is vague about the specifics of his plan during the player's stay, only talking about how every part of Miniopolis will be his. He then climbs into an unknown machine, remarks how nobody can stop him (not even his meddling son or Gramma Hattie); when he turns it on, it causes a large enough explosion to break open the bars of the cage, and he disappears. Harlan assumes that Daddy Bigbucks is dead after that, although the player can only hope he is.
Mission 5, Goal 5, Atlantis Premiere Party revolves around the movie premiere of Daddy Bigbucks' new film, "Tycoon Tycoon!: The Daddy Bigbucks Story." This film is about his life, both written and directed by him. Either Crystal (if the player character is male) or Maximillian Moore (if the player character is female) will ask the player to go to the premiere with them. Needing to find tickets, the player goes to Lily Gates, who can't go herself because she's been put in charge of all of Daddy Bigbucks' affairs while he's a way. When the player presses Lily for why he's away, she tells the player that Daddy Bigbucks is sleeping (an obvious lie). Lily is hesitant to sell the tickets to the player because Daddy Bigbucks and the player are not on good terms. However, once the player shows her that everybody wants them there, Lily lets the player buy the tickets. During the party, Daddy Bigbucks swings in and announces his intent to go over one hundred years into the past to own all of Miniopolis years before anyone else even arrived there.
During Mission 5, Goal 6, Back in Time, the player has to build a time machine to stop Daddy Bigbucks. After collecting all the resources for the time machine and getting Sue Pirnova and Ewan Watahmee to help build it, The player needs to find someone who knows where in time Daddy Bigbucks went. The player needs to find Giuseppi. Giuseppi had only been pretending to work for Daddy Bigbucks and was actually working for truth and justice. He tells the player that Daddy Bigbucks went to some time in 1870, and so the player should go to the last day of 1870 to make sure that they're able to catch the claim flag. In 1870, the player meets Ephram Earl, who they ask to move Daddy Bigbucks' claim flag. When the player comes back to the present, Daddy Bigbucks comes up to the player and shows them their deed to the land. Quickly, he realizes that his claim has been messed with and confesses to using a time machine to mess with the timeline. Then, Det. Dan comes to arrest him.
The end of the game reveals that Daddy Bigbucks' claim flag had been moved to encompass all of and only Nutria Island. Notably, despite the ending of the game implying that Daddy Bigbucks is stuck on Nutria Island for an indefinite amount of time, he will only be there in the morning (about 1am-10am). At other times, he'll usually be at Paradise Island but can occasionally be found on Moon Base Zeta instead.
Splicer Island, the focus of the DS-exclusive Mission S, is Daddy Bigbucks' abandoned, secret project. He had hired Dr. Mauricio Keyes to be the projects' genetic scientist and Futo Maki as the construction worker for the project and stranded both of them. Jack I. Deal used to work for Daddy Bigbucks as well. The last Goal of Mission S, Winky Weebucks, involves Berkeley Clodd taking some of Daddy Bigbucks' DNA and creating a pet out of it, Winky Weebucks.
Daddy Bigbucks is the only NPC who cannot, under normal circumstances, be conversed with until after the main story is beaten. He is also the only NPC who players start out with a negative relationship with (-20). Also, he will never return the player's calls when they try to ask him where he is, regardless of the player's relationship with him, a quirk he shares with Ephram Earl.
The Sims 2 (GBA)[]
In The Sims 2 for GBA, Daddy Bigbucks is the main antagonist. Although he rarely appears in episodes themselves, he has a great presence in the game. The player will see him each time they go to main menu (the one that contains social moves, episode selection, etc.) or whenever they pass out. He will also call the player some time each episode to take them out of the game in order to have a "commercial break" or provide direction. He is orchestrating many of the troubles in Strangetown and has hired the player to be the protagonist of the show. He also hired Burple and Emperor Xizzle to be the show's antagonists, but this is not necessarily relevant until the end.
In It All Came to an End, he will task the player with getting an upgraded Super Drencher from Emperor Xizzle and use it on Optimum Alfred, explaining that he wants an antagonist that he can actually control. The Super Drencher will then make Optimum explode, and he will tell the player to collect all of his pieces and get someone to put the robot back together again. After the player does that, Optimum tells everyone that they are in a television show, and the player will land in jail. Daddy Bigbucks will offer to bail the main character out if they can convince him.
At this point, the plot branches off into two endings. The player can choose to ally with Bigbucks, where they will be asked with convincing three people that are not actually in a television show and get Optimum to leave, or they can refuse, and at that point the player will have to destroy all the cameras in town. If the player chooses to ally with him, he will make a handful of the townspeople apologize personally to the player, saying that next season, they will be a superhero and the Mayor of Strangetown. If the player does this ending, the ending cutscene will be of him and Emperor Xizzle in a hot tub sailing away on a massive ship. If the player chooses to not ally with him, the ending will be of Emperor Xizzle standing up to Daddy Bigbucks and the aliens kidnapping him into their spaceship.

Trivia[]
- In The Urbz: Sims in the City, it is not possible to socialize with him until beating the game[URBZ GBA] or finishing the Miniopolis missions[URBZ DS], unless the player invites him over.
- This is easier said than done as Urbz only show up in a player's contact list if they have a relationship of zero or above, and Daddy Bigbucks initially has a negative relationship with the player.
- His and his son's voice comes from the butler in The Sims: Superstar.
- His name is a reference to Daddy Warbucks from the comic strip Little Orphan Annie,
- He is one of the few Urbz who dislikes the Jibba Jabba interaction in The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld.
- He has a mention in an unused episode in The Sims 2 for GBA named "Save Strangetown!" and the description reads "Daddy Bigbucks is planning his most vile trick yet... but the secret of Strangetown won't be a secret for long." However, it can be assumed that this episode is likely a draft version of the episode "It All Came to an End" due to the similar premises.
- Daddy Bigbucks was going to be the original owner of the hotel in The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS. However, in the final game, there is never a confirmed original owner of the hotel.
- Daddy Bigbucks' real name is likely "Luthor L. Bigbucks II." In The Urbz: Sims in the City, it is revealed that he signs his name as "L. L. Bigbucks," and Mambo Loa refers to his son, Luthor, as "carrying his father's big name." This is followed up by the fact that in the official game guide for The Urbz: Sims in the City (GBA) and some early The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS) screenshots, Luthor L. Bigbucks is referred to as "Luthor L. Bigbucks III."
- In The Sims Bustin' Out, Daddy Bigbucks reveals that he made his first billion simoleons before he was 18.
- Daddy Bigbucks shares his last name with a character named "Franky Bigbucks" mentioned in a U-Drive It mission from SimCity 4. Although, the two characters are likely not intented to be related.
- Daddy Bigbucks is the only Urb in The Urbz: Sims in the City (Nintendo DS) that will not accept personal paintings as gifts.
