Bob Newbie was one of the premade Sims in The Sims, he and his wife Betty 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 he are married with her, he and his relationship with Betty is not very good. He and his wife Betty are probably the most popular sims in the sim universe.

Bob Newbie in other games
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.)
