||
⚫ | His house is described as a domesticated boot camp, whose house number is 51, which is most likely a reference to the highly secretive military base '[[wikipedia:Area 51|Area 51]]'. He also takes a military approach to raising his sons, while his ex-wife Lyla took the more important part of emotionally caring for their children — she taught them almost all [[toddler skills]] while Buzz only taught two toddler skills to his older son [[Tank Grunt]]. When first played, he is 15 days away from being an [[elder]]. |
||
⚫ | Buzz is an aggressive Sim who has many feuds with others in the Strangetown community: [[Olive Specter]] (Lyla died on her lot), [[Curious family|the Curious brothers]] and [[Loki Beaker]] (he won fights with them as a teenager). His most recent feud is with [[Pollination Technician 9]], because he had lost a fight with him. Many fans interpret Buzz as trying to get aliens to leave [[Strangetown]]. |
||
− | When first played, he is 15 days away from being an elder. |
||
⚫ | Ironically enough, he has a higher lifetime [[relationship]] with Pollination Technician 9 than with his own sons. Despite this, he still considers PT9 an enemy and he wants to fight him upon loading the Grunt lot for the first time in game. He has positive, but low, relationships with the Curious brothers and Loki Beaker. He only has a negative relationship with Olive (though, oddly, she usually wants to invite him over when the Specter family is first played. This might be because Lyla died on Olive's lot. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | When viewing one of the pictures in the [[Grunt family]] album, Buzz's skin color matches the medium (S3) skintone, instead of the light (S1) skintone he sports in-game. There is an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewVdU0sJfdI early Strangetown trailer] featuring the Grunts and the Smiths. Both Buzz and PT9 have different facial features, and Buzz having the [[voice]] provided by David Boat, rather than the one provided by Stephen Kearin that he has in-game. |

⚫ | Ironically |
||
+ | Strangely, Buzz doesn't have the memory of mastering the body skill. Because he has reached level 4 of the Military career, Buzz has a [[Career rewards#Exerto Selfflog Obstacle Course|Military career reward]] available for him to purchase, disregarding the fact that there is already one in the backyard. |
||
− | Some players believe that Buzz was a teenager when he had Tank and Ripp. When subtracting the number of days each of them have lived, Buzz would not have been an adult at the time of Tank and Ripp's birth. This can be reconciled if it's assumed that Buzz had [[Elixir of Life]] at some point in his life. |

In this [[alternate universe|timeline]], Buzz is a grand marshal instead of general, he has brown eyes instead of grey, and he is missing the black lines underneath his eyes. He is friends with all three of his sons, but his ex-wife Lyla is only an acquaintance. Unlike the remakes of the [[Newbie family]] and the [[Pleasant family]] on the Gallery, Buzz has several skill points in a variety of different areas. He has the bonus traits Over-Achiever and Argumentative from ''[[The Sims 4: Parenthood]]''. He will become an elder in 22 days. |

Biography
Life leading up to The Sims 2
His house is described as a domesticated boot camp, whose house number is 51, which is most likely a reference to the highly secretive military base 'Area 51'. He also takes a military approach to raising his sons, while his ex-wife Lyla took the more important part of emotionally caring for their children — she taught them almost all toddler skills while Buzz only taught two toddler skills to his older son Tank Grunt. When first played, he is 15 days away from being an elder.
Buzz is an aggressive Sim who has many feuds with others in the Strangetown community: Olive Specter (Lyla died on her lot), the Curious brothers and Loki Beaker (he won fights with them as a teenager). His most recent feud is with Pollination Technician 9, because he had lost a fight with him. Many fans interpret Buzz as trying to get aliens to leave Strangetown.
Ironically enough, he has a higher lifetime relationship with Pollination Technician 9 than with his own sons. Despite this, he still considers PT9 an enemy and he wants to fight him upon loading the Grunt lot for the first time in game. He has positive, but low, relationships with the Curious brothers and Loki Beaker. He only has a negative relationship with Olive (though, oddly, she usually wants to invite him over when the Specter family is first played. This might be because Lyla died on Olive's lot.
When viewing one of the pictures in the Grunt family album, Buzz's skin color matches the medium (S3) skintone, instead of the light (S1) skintone he sports in-game. There is an early Strangetown trailer featuring the Grunts and the Smiths. Both Buzz and PT9 have different facial features, and Buzz having the voice provided by David Boat, rather than the one provided by Stephen Kearin that he has in-game.
Strangely, Buzz doesn't have the memory of mastering the body skill. Because he has reached level 4 of the Military career, Buzz has a Military career reward available for him to purchase, disregarding the fact that there is already one in the backyard.
Life leading up to The Sims 2 (PSP)
In The Sims 2 (PSP), he has escalated his war against the Smiths, kidnapping Jenny, Jill and Johnny.
Despite the General's harsh nature, he does have a nice side. He will start to like the player once they build up their friendship. The General will still act nasty towards the player, but only to keep up appearances. He says he can't show favoritism, otherwise discipline will "go out the window".
General Buzz's secrets in The Sims 2 (PSP):
- (Personal): They call him Buzz because he shaves his chest every morning.
- (Intimate): Buzz got his stripes by pushing paper above and beyond the call of duty.
- (Dark): Buzz sleeps with a teddy bear in camouflage that he calls "the Brigadier".
- (Keep Enemies Closer): General Grunt has imprisoned the Smith family under the guise of "protecting" them.
Life leading up to The Sims 4
An official Maxis recreation of Buzz and his family was uploaded to the The Sims 4 Gallery on February 28, 2019, marking the 19th anniversary of The Sims. In this timeline, Buzz is a grand marshal instead of general, he has brown eyes instead of grey, and he is missing the black lines underneath his eyes. He is friends with all three of his sons, but his ex-wife Lyla is only an acquaintance. Unlike the remakes of the Newbie family and the Pleasant family on the Gallery, Buzz has several skill points in a variety of different areas. He has the bonus traits Over-Achiever and Argumentative from The Sims 4: Parenthood. He will become an elder in 22 days.
