Pepper Pete was first mentioned in The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld. According to Mambo Loa, he was the owner of his family's riverboat in Miniopolis, but after being lost at sea, his brother, Olde Salty, had to move to Miniopolis to take ownership of the riverboat. The player's Urb has to disguise themselves as Pepper Pete in order to talk Olde Salty out of selling the riverboat to Daddy Bigbucks. Despite the fact Pepper Pete's beard appears gold, Pritchard Locksley can only sell a white beard to the player for assemblying the disguise. (He offers a black one, and a red one, but claims to not have them if chosen)
