Vadim Simovitch

Vadim Simovitch was never introduced into The Sims, and is deceased long before the start of The Sims 2. He was married to Fatima Simovitch, as we see on his family tree. Together he and Fatima had a daughter, Betty Simovitch, who is introduced as Betty Newbie in the tutorial of The Sims.

NOTE: Vadim's daughter, Betty, was introduced to console versions of the game as Betty Roomie.
