Buddy is one lovable guy, and a clumsy klutz too from the MySims video game series by Electronic Arts and Maxis. He serves as a bellhop at the Town Hotel, and hosts the Opening Festival and Bell Hopscotch minigame. Buddy is also King Roland's royal messenger, as well as the agent's assistance/sketch artist, and a pilot. Buddy only had a minor role in MySims, but his role became more significant in later games.

In MySims (Wii/PC)

Buddy works at the town hotel as a bellhop, although he runs the hotel as the sole staff member. His dream is to build a rocket and venture into space. Buddy is one of the few starting residents when the player moves to town. He is young at heart, but takes his job with pride, though he can be a bit clumsy at times.

Profile: After [town name] went downhill, only one employee remained at the hotel: Buddy the Bellhop! He could have promoted himself to manager, but Buddy really isn't cut out for that kind of work. He's just a simple boy who wants to be the best bellhop he can be. There are two things Buddy's learned in life: stick to what you know, and don't touch the stove when it's hot.

• Our hotel sure is fancy-looking. I wonder how it would look if I could decorate it. Probably like a space station!

Introduction

• Oh, hiya pal! Buddy the bellhop at your service! Things are a little slow right now so I've been practicing my salutes. The next guest that stays here is gonna get the salutin' of a lifetime!
  • Oh yeah, I guess the Mayor wanted you for something. She's probably over in the Town Hall 'cuz that's where she works.

Star Level 0

• Oh, hiya pal! How come no one will visit our great hotel? I can almost guarantee I won't drop their luggage a bunch! I guess no one trusts a clumsy bellhop…
  • Oh yeah, I heard you were going to help Poppy with her flower shop. That's good news! I'm pretty sure that flowers are something Poppy likes.

Star Level 1

• Oh, hiya pal! An actual guest just arrived on the train! Good thing I've been practicing my salutes. Hey, you should ask that Sim to move in. That will help [town name] grow, right?
  • Just talk to him and see if he'll move in. I'm pretty sure that's how it works…
• Hiya, pal! I think we can both agree: everyone respects a nice, crisp salute.
• Maybe someday I could travel through space to a whole new planet, and be a bellhop there!
• Mornings are my favorite time of the day. Why? Because that's when new guests arrive!
• Oh, hey, pal! Can I tell you a little secret? I've always been a fan of sci-fi shows.

Star Level 2

• Hey, pal, guess what! You've done such a good job setting up these great businesses that more people want to move into [town name]! (first time coming to the hotel when new guest arrive)
• Hey, pal, do they have bellhops on spaceships? It sure would be neat to fly on a spaceship.
• Heya pal, now that [town name] is a 2 Star town, there are a lot more people interested in moving here! Not only are more commercial establishments wanting to move here, but also regular folks like Patrick and Violet are starting to show up too.
• Once I saluted someone so hard I knocked myself silly! I was out for hours!
• People think bellhopping isn't an important job. But if that's true, then why do I have this fancy uniform?

Star Level 3

• Gotta perfect my salute…if I can just keep my elbow tucked in, I'll get less drag on the upswing…
• In space, I wouldn't have to worry about dropping people's luggage, 'cuz everything would float!
• Oh, hiya pal! Boy, there sure are a lot of Sims coming through the hotel now. Is this all thanks to you? Wow!

Star Level 4

• All this activity is making me a better bellhop. I only tripped nine times today!
• My salutin' arm is getting sore! I have to put ice on it every night or it'll swell up like a pumpkin!
• Whooosh! Pow pow! Don't worry Mr. Alien, Buddy the Space Bellhop will show you to your room! Kaboom!

Star Level 5

• [player name], I knew it! I just knew if I stuck it out that our hotel would be great again some day! How can I ever thank you, pal?
• So…so many guests…*pant* *pant* I can barely lift my salutin' arm, pal!
• You've taught me something, pal: never give up! I'm proud to be your bellhop, [player name].

Best friend

• Dialogue: You did all this just for your ol' pal, Buddy? I don't know what to say, pal! I've got to invent a whole new salute just to show how I feel about you!
• Reward: Buddy's eyes, mouth, bellhop hat and uniform, and Sculpture - Fireplace blueprint
• Message: Buddy's uniform is now available in your dresser. Let's see that salute! And since Buddy is such a nice guy, he's also given you his special fireplace blueprint

In SimCity Creator (Wii)

Buddy is a potential Utilities Advisor for the city. He is his usual geeky self and will talk to the player about the hotel he works in as well as the city's electricity and water supply.

Profile: A bellhop at a hotel. But lately, he seems to be getting interested in other jobs, too.

Dialogues

• All of my guests love the view from their hotel rooms. They keep telling me that they wish they could stay longer just to see how you will develop the city. Isn't that great?
• Thank goodness there's enough electricity for the hotel now. I've been reading my comic books by flashlight and it gets way too scary!
• I've always dreamed of being a bellhop in outer space! I was thinking I should start studying an alien language. Do you know where I can find an English-to-Alien dictionary?
• It's getting tired just 'cuz it does the same motion over and over all day long. My arm salutes a guest more than 500 times a day, and it's still going strong!
• Wow, you've built one swanky town, [player name]. We're gonna start getting all kinds of stylish guests at the hotel. I'll have to invent a brand new stylish salute!
• I can't work without water, pal. Bellhoppin' is thirsty work!
• Usually hotels take up a lot of power, but it looks like [city name] has plenty of energy -- just like me, pal!
• Hiya pal! I'm practicing my salutes again today! Nothing says "Sorry I dropped your bags down the stairs" like a nice, crisp salute!

In MySims Kingdom (Wii)

Buddy lives on Capital Island as King Roland's royal messenger. He informs the player of the Royal Wandolier Trials, and along with Lyndsay, will join them in their quest to making the citizens of the kingdom happy again as the Royal Wandolier. His pet carrier pigeon, Guillermo, delivers the messages from King Roland to him when throughout the adventure. He is, apparently, able to understand and communicate with Guillermo. Buddy is truly a great guy with a kind heart and serves as comic relief.

Profile: Buddy may not be the sharpest tool in the drawer, but his infinite optimism and loyalty make him a great friend to have around. As the Royal Messenger, he keeps in constant contact with the King by way of his pet carrier pigeon Guillermo. Buddy can scare easily, but for friendship, he will brave anything, even dinosaurs or zombies!
