Biography[]
The Urbz: Sims in the City[]
Luthor is the leader of the Richies Rep group and the son of Daddy Bigbucks. He can usually be found in front of the museum in the Sim Quarter, but he also frequents the Glasstown Coffee Shop, Café Multiplaya[URBZ GBA]/Z-Bach[URBZ DS], the Chopper Garage in Urbania, and Splicer Island[URBZ DS]. Occasionally, he can be found in the cinema lobby (notably when a film about Daddy Bigbucks is playing), on Moon Base Zeta, and on Paradise Island. Luthor is the entitled, snobbish heir to the Bigbucks' financial empire and a talented athlete who brags about his accomplishments.
During Mission 3, Goal 4, Get on the List, Luthor will always show up as a potential visitor. Unless the player is playing as a Richie themself, Cannonball Coleman will tell the player to refuse to let Richies, such as Luthor, in as they ruin the vibes of his concerts.
Luthor is the catalyst for Mission 3, Goal 5, High Society. He wants to open up the museum so him and his fellow Richies can hobnob at it. So, he asks the player to find him a curator and to sponsor one item at the museum. When asked about why he's making the player open the museum rather than his father, he'll say that Daddy Bigbucks shoots down all of his ideas and plans to turn the museum into a private sauna. After the player sponsors a museum object and finds a curator, Luthor will begin sending checks in the mail to the player each week, based off of the amount of money they have put into sponsoring pieces in the museum (1/10 of the total amount[confirmation needed]). The name of the gift shop after the museum opens is named the 'Bigbucks Collection.'
At the end of Mission 3, Goal 6, The Ballad of Pepper Pete, Luthor and Lily Gates walk in and watch as Daddy Bigbucks picks up the protagonist and throws them into the river.
During Mission 4, Goal 5: Carnivale!, Misty Waters asks the player to find her somebody 'rich and beautiful' as a date to the premiere of Daddy Bigbucks' film, "Tycoon! Tycoon!: The Daddy Bigbucks Story." This date is Luthor, who gladly accepts.
If the player is a Richie, Luthor will be the Sim that informs the player of the reality show on Paradise Island.
After Daddy Bigbucks storms away during The Bigbucks Players, the player will need to talk to Luthor to start Back to the Drawing Board. Luthor is looking for his father and says that he hadn't seen him since the play. He mentions that he'd seen Daddy Bigbucks hanging with the Nerdies, but the Nerdies don't like him. The player will need to track down and befriend Polly Nomial who gives them instructions to go into Daddy Bigbucks' secret lair, where the player finds a set of blueprints. Upon giving the Luthor the blueprints, Luthor will get mad and swear that says he's going to shut his father's lab so he can't do any more 'funny business.'
The player never sees Luthor actually shut down his father's lab, but during the last goal, Sue Pirnova says that Luthor showed her the blueprints to the time machine.
Gaining enough Rep points with the Richies means that Luthor will give the player a Mission with the following goals: getting the highest level in Moogoo Monkey, owning 30,000 Simoleons worth of items, and having 10,000 Simoleons in cash. Completing this Mission gives two extra Richie Rep points.
The Sims 2 for GBA[]
Luthor L. Bigbucks is a resident in Strangetown.
Despite Daddy Bigbucks being his father, he is unaware of the fact that Strangetown is a television show, and is, in fact, actively being tricked. His father had given him six-hundred million Simoleons to spend on real-estate in Strangetown and had banned him from coming home until he is able to do so. He arrives to Strangetown on the same day as the player does and appears to be living in the bedroom in the casino during the events of the game. He sometimes will mention plans to develop the town, but there's no evidence that he ever does.
Luthor is scared of Frankie Fusilli, thinking that a lamp that the player gives to him is one of Frankie's "warnings." In a later episode, the player will have to convince him (or Tristan Legend) to flirt with Ara Fusilli. Though he's initially worried about getting on Frankie's bad side, the player doing a single friendly minigame with him will convince him otherwise, and he'll go out to flirt with Ara, thinking that there's no way that Frankie could hate a "rich charmer" like himself. Frankie will catch him trying to flirt and threaten to feed both the player and Luthor to his sharks.
The player has to retrieve his 2004 Olympic Gold Medal when it is stolen by Horus Menhoset IX, and he will sell plutonium to the player for 300 Simoleons when Lord Mole demands the player obtain some.
The Sims 2 for DS[]
Luthor is a regular hotel guest in The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS and has no relevance to the story. His secret is that he was kicked out of his father's house for being frugal with his money. Unlocking his secret unlocks the concept art for the rat suit. He will autonomously change the radio in the saloon to the track "Move Mode."

Trivia[]
- One of his lines in The Urbz mentions that his 18th birthday is two years away, meaning that he's likely 16 years old.
- In the official The Urbz: Sims in the City Prima guide, his name is listed as "Luthor L. Bigbucks III." This can also be seen in early screenshots of The Sims 2 for DS.
- The name Luthor is probably a take on Alexander "Lex" Luthor, a character from the DC Superman universe, seeing that both characters have similar characteristics such as baldness, and both being sons of wealthy men.
- In the Epoch Museum's gift shop, named the "Bigbucks Collection," as the player can purchase an item called a "Green Meteorite." The description is heavily implying it to be Green Kryptonite.
- In The Urbz, Luthor's voice comes from the butler in The Sims: Superstar.
