Bob Newbie

Bob Newbie was one of the Pre-Made Sims in The Sims, he and his wife Betty Newbie had just moved into the neighborhood at the start of the game. They are inhabitants of 'Neighborhood 1' and make up the welcome wagon. He is characterized by dingy, greasy clothing and a bald head. Although his and Betty's relationship is not very good, by the time of The Sims 2, Bob and Betty have both passed away, but left a grown daughter to raise her family.

Bob's daughter Brandi Broke is the mother to two sons, Dustin Broke and Beau Broke, and is pregnant with her third son at the start of Sims 2. She is the widow of Skip Broke.

Bob Newbie is also an available character on SimCity 4. (Note: The selectable people like him are sort of like the NPCs of today's The Sims 2. They can be selected, and you can change their names, signs, and houses.  However, the houses are extremely limited, and you can't play as them.)
