Biography[]

The Sims Bustin' Out (handheld)[]

Daddy Bigbucks is a Signature NPC in The Sims Bustin' Out for handheld. This means he is fully interactable, but cannot become the player's roommate.

He can be found throughout the day in any of the following locations:

Park
VirtuChem Labs

The Urbz: Sims in the City (handheld)[]

Daddy Bigbucks is the main antagonist of The Urbz: Sims in the City 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.

The Sims 2 (GBA)[]

In The Sims 2 (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." 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 the At this point, the plot branches off into two endings. You can choose to ally with Bigbucks, where you will be asked with convincing three people that they are not actually in a television show and get Optimum to leave, or you can refuse, and at that point you will have to destroy all the cameras in town. If you choose to ally with him, he will make a handful of the townspeople apologize personally to the player, will say that next season, they will be a superhero and the Mayor of Strangetown. If the player does this ending, the ending cut scene will be of him and Emperor Xizzle in a hot tub sailing away on a massive ship. If you choose 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.

Sorry I'm poor.	I have TWO bank accounts.	He who dies wit the most toys... has the most toys.	Your smile makes me want to lend you money.	I hear you can get great deals from Giuseppi Mezzoalto.
Sorry for telling people that you're giving away money.	I saw a one thousand Simoleon bill once.	Remember: Money is short-lived but friendship lasts... a little longer.	You should have a library or street named after you.	I hear there's a talented pizza chef coming to town.
Sorry for wandering without a purpose.		Did you know the moon is for sale?	You make people feel important.	I think I know where everybody goes when it gets dark.
Sorry for being so nosey.		Congratulations! You are the richest man I have ever met!		I hear Daschell Swank arranged to have your portrait painted.
				I hear Hester Primm and Mel Odious once dated.

I'm glad to see you know how to humble yourself before a professional.	Your total life's accomplishments could not equal one week's worth of mine, but it amuses me to see you try.	I should hire you as my personal jester.	An unsolicited compliment from a penniless child! Wonderful, just wonderful!	That's interesting... but you wouldn't happen to have any stock tips, would you?

Nice moneyclip! Want to take a girl out on the town?
Nice wad!

I'll bet your favorite book is 'The Prince.'	Oppressor!	I wish I could remember people's names.	Did you hear the joke about the rising price of pork rinds?	You'd sell this town its air if you could.	Hey rich dude, let's fight!	I definitely enjoy a good game of golf now and then.	Psst! I have a lot more money than anyone realizes.	Money just causes greed, you know.
You must have been picked on in school.	Penny pincher!	I don't have any obviously redeeming features.	Did you hear the joke about the talking Simoleon?	Have you no heart?	I'm going to pound your head in.	I go skiing whenever I can... which is usually never.	Psst! I saw pictures of fire engines on your underwear.	I think enthusiasm is overrated.
I sense an undercurrent of self pity in everything you say.		It's a hard-knocks life.	What do you call a rich man with no car?	You don't look good in the color GREED!	I'm going to get dirt on your new leather shoes.	I have been following the history of currency for some time now.	Psst! I feel so alone.	Who needs Simoleons anyway?
You crazy old hound dog.		There's nothing really challenging on television these days.	Did you hear the joke about the man with the golden thumb?			I have a killer coin and stamp collection.	Psst! Sometimes I can't control my bladder.	Can I borrow your car?
You can't buy a sense of humor unfortunately.							Psst! Everyone in this town thinks you will put them in your will!	Can I have a weekly allowance.
Response	Response	Response	Response	Response	Response	Response	Response	Response
Why not just hit me with a feather? It would hurt more.	Your insults do not make me flinch!	You'll never be as filthy rich as me if you continue to complain.	Hmmmm. Sometimes I wonder if laughter is better than money, but that makes me laugh even harder!	Is this what envy has reduced you to? Half-baked insults?	I hope you have a lawyer, one-hundred million simoleons, and five years to spare.	I've always wondered why people have 'hobbies.' Aren't they just a waste of time?	If your information doesn't give me an advantage over others, what's the use?	I should buy you a new personality.

In The Urbz: Sims in the City, it is not possible to socialize with him until you beat the game (GBA) or finish the Miniopolis missions (DS), unless you invite him over.
His voice is reused for the butler in The Sims: Superstar.^{[confirmation needed]}
His name is a reference to Daddy Warbucks from the comic strip Little Orphan Annie,
He is one of the few Sims who dislike the Jibba Jabba interaction in The Urbz: Sims in the City for Handhelds.
He has a mention in an unused episode in The Sims 2 (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 (Nintendo DS). However, in the final game, there is never a confirmed original owner of the hotel.
