Biography

The Urbz: Sims in the City

Luthor is the leader of the Richies rep group and is the son of Daddy Bigbucks. He can usually be found in front of the museum in the Sim Quarter, which he makes the player open for him in Chapter 3, Mission 5: High Society.

During Chapter 4, Mission 5: Carnivale!, Misty Waters asks the player to find her a date to a movie premiere. This date is Luthor L. Bigbucks.

After Daddy Bigbucks storms away when The Bigbucks Players ends, the player will need to talk to Luthor, who is worried about where his dad has gone. The player will need to go into Daddy Bigbucks' secret lair, find blueprints for a time machine, and then give them to Luthor, who says that he doesn't know what his father's plans are.

Gaining enough rep points with the Richies means that Luthor will give you 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 you 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.

He 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 intitially 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 Fusilli, thinking that there's no way that Frankie could hate a "rich charmer" like himself. Frankie will catch him trying to flirt and will 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 DS. His secret is that he was kicked out of his father's house for being frugal with his money. 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.
• If you ask him to move in with you, he mentions having a dog.
