The '''Newbie family''' is a pre-made family that appears in most games in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]]. The family name is a pun of "newbie", which means a newcomer or novice. This is a reference since they are commonly used as a tutorial family, most notably in ''The Sims''. The family name is also a placeholder name in most console games when players create a Sim, which is usually Chris Newbie.
Line 48 ⟶ 76:
The Newbie family appears in [[The Sims 2 (console)|''The Sims 2'' for console]]. They also appear in [[The Sims 2 Pets (console)|''The Sims 2 Pets'' for console]] as a tutorial family as well. The playable members are Bob and Betty, as well as [[Buddy Newbie]] in ''Pets'' for console. Their appearances, however, are very different than the previous games. Both of their skin tones are darker than the other games.
==The Sims 4==
As of February 15, 2019, an official recreation by [[Maxis]] of ''The Sims 2: Pets'' console version of the Newbie family in ''[[The Sims 4]]'' can be found in the [[Gallery]].<ref>[https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/8BB80D6B317311E98E64795DCB646EBF The Newbie Family by Maxis]</ref>
If the player does not have ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs]]'', Buddy is absent from the family as this expansion pack is needed in order to have dogs. The family description also has the part "with their dog Buddy" removed. Other pack specific content is changed as well if the player lacks the required packs.

The Newbie family is the one used in ''The Sims'' by "novice and inexperienced" players. When the player first begins the game, they are prompted to go to the Newbie household. Bob's name suits him, seeing as he is famous in the sense that all Sims players are aware of him.

*If one rushes through the tutorial too quickly, the player can encounter the section about finding a job before the papergirl arrives which causes the tutorial to end on an error.
