Lucas Simms

Lucas Simms is the sheriff and mayor of Megaton

Background
Simms grew up in Megaton and serves as the towns mayor and sheriff, a position he won through a unanimous vote. He often contests the title of "mayor" with Colin Moriarty. While Moriarty claims Megaton to be "his city," Megaton's other citizens agree that Simms is the real mayor. Simms, who despises Moriarty, warns the player of talking to Moriarty and tells the same to his son.

Sheriff Simms foiled an ill-conceived raid on Megaton by a band of raiders headquartered at Springvale Elementary School. During the conflict, Simms shot and killed the raiders' leader, Boppo. Lucas Simms also serves as a member of the regulators.

Appearances
Lucas Simms appears in Fallout 3, and Fallout Shelter.

Behind the scenes

 * Simms' welcoming speech mirrors Marcus' first speech to the Chosen One in Fallout 2 if they are wearing a vault suit.
 * Simms: I'll be damned, you're from that vault, Vault 101. *chuckles* I ain't seen one of those jumpsuits in a long time.
 * Marcus: Well, what the hell. I haven’t seen one of those outfits for a long, long time. Takes me back.
 * You can insult him by saying "nice hat, Calamity Jane," a reference to the cowgirl Calamity Jane.
 * Lucas Simms is the name of a character in Walker, Texas Ranger portrayed by Haley Joel Osment.
 * In Moira Brown's Afterword, she writes about Lucas' son, Harden, becoming sheriff of Megaton in 2297. While drunk, Harden often claims that the Lone Wanderer was responsible for his father's death.

Bugs

 * When Mister Burke kills Lucas, a floating blood splatter can sometimes be found walking the same path that he once did. It can cause the game to freeze and you will need to restart the console.
 * Rarely, even though you kill Burke before he kills Lucas, the latter may still die. He will simply walk out of the saloon and collapse.
 * On rare occasions, Lucas Simms may follow you out of Megaton and stay behind you regardless of where you travel to. However, he is not hostile, although his health bar does show and he is wielding his gun.
