Line 38:
Bob and Betty do not appear as playable Sims within a neighbourhood in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' family of games apart from ''[[The Sims 2 Pets (console)|The Sims 2 Pets for console]]''. As former residents of [[Pleasantview]] , the now-deceased Bob and Betty appear in the family tree view as mother and father of the playable Sim [[Brandi Broke]], and as the grandparents of her two sons.
 
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the family lives in [[Riverview]], and consists of teenage Bob and his parents [[Robert Newbie|Robert]] and [[Mags Newbie|Mags]]. Their house is small but expensively and fashionably decorated, and they own a middle-range car. However, they only have §2,000 in their household funds and neither Robert nor Mags earns much money. Their first bill payment will usually cost more than half of the money they have, suggesting that they may be living beyond their means. This may be the reason why the Newbies are poor later in the series chronology. Also, in The Sims 3, the family's bio's end hints that Bob Jr. may move to Pleasantview, as the end reads: ''Will Bob stay and make a life in Riverview, or will he move somewhere more... pleasant?''.{{FamilyPage
