Life leading up to The Sims
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. Bob is a Tutorial character who has many similarities to Homer Simpson. Bob is also a lazy slob who lets his wife Betty get him out of trouble or take care of the house. He is characterized by dingy, greasy clothing and a bald head. Although he is married with her, his relationship with Betty is not very good, and it is unclear at that time whether or not they are married. He and his wife Betty are probably one of the most popular sims in the sim universe.

Life leading up to The Sims (Console)
Bob Newbie still wears the same clothes, although his beard is now black. He and his wife Betty Newbie both share a 20+ relationship, so it is unknow if they are really married. They both don't have a job, but maybe it's best to get them in the Military Career Track cause they are both very active. His house is brick painted with a small living room, bathroom, bedroom, garden and a large path to the enter.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
By the time the storyline has caught to The Sims 2, he and his wife Betty are already deceased, though he left a daughter, Brandi Broke to raise her family. She is the mother to two sons, Dustin Broke and Beau Broke, and is pregnant with her third son at the start of The Sims 2. She is the widow of Skip Broke. He, his wife, his parents, and his in-laws can be resurrected with SimPE

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.)
