John Burb

John Burb (known as Johnny Burb in The Sims: Unleashed) is a pre-created playable Sim in The Sims: Unleashed and The Sims 2. In The Sims 2, he lives with his wife Jennifer Burb and daughter Lucy Burb. He holds the unusual distinction of being the only pre-created playable Sim whose first name changes, albeit slightly, between The Sims and The Sims 2.

Life leading up to The Sims
In The Sims: Unleashed, 'Johnny' (whose given name is John) represents the All-American boy of the 1950s. His parents, Brad and Tiffany, are completely different from one another. He is a child, dressed in a red shirt and blue overalls with a blue cap. He loves frogs and playing in the mud. His least favorite subject in school is history. He thinks that Tucker, his dog, is the greatest dog in the world. He lives at 63 Gunther Goth Highway.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, John Burb has dropped his childhood nickname, is already married to Jennifer Burb (née Pleasant), and has a child, Lucy Burb. His parents, Brad and Tiffany Burb are already deceased. He "misses the time he spent in his parents' garden, and wants to carry on the tradition." (weeding, watering plants, etc.) He wears a black jacket over a brown shirt, and khaki pants and he has neat brown hair.

When the family is first moved onto a lot, he will be 21 days away from becoming an elder, and will have three points of Charisma and one point of Logic. Being a Family Sim, he is also very fond of children, and the "have a baby" want will come up often. He has a better relationship with his daughter Lucy than with his wife, and would probably be happy being a stay-at-home Dad. His fitness is close to fat, something active Jennifer might not be too happy about.
