The Newbie family are the family used for the tutorial in The Sims. The tutorial home, located at 7 Sim Lane in Neighborhood 1, includes Bob Newbie and Betty Newbie, and can be played as usual after the tutorial is complete.
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). 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 teen-aged Bob and his parents Robert and Mags. Despite the impression that might be given by their house and car, the Newbies are rather well-off, if not capital-R Rich. It is uncertain how Bob became poor in the time between The Sims 3 and The Sims.
Onomatology
Newbie -- "a newcomer or novice, an inexperienced user of computers in general" A parody of the word "newbie" meaning that they are new to the game. It is for this reason they are used in the tutorials of multiple games.
Buddy -- Implies friendliness, and the Newbie family is very much friendly - everyone knows them for they are the tutorial family in Pets for consoles where Buddy appears.
Brandi -- Simply means "brandy" from the English name of an alcoholic drink.
Bob(Brandi's father) -- Short for Robert, meaning "bright fame".
Betty (Brandi's mother) -- Short for Elizabeth, meaning "my god is oath".
Mags (Brandi's paternal grandmother) -- Short for Margaret, meaning pearl.
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.

Glitches
- In TS1, the player can start the tutorial at 7 Sim Lane and end it before the introduction of Betty Newbie so that life goes on for Bob without her. Bob can be played as a normal Sim character then, free to marry another Sim.
- If one rushed through the tutorial too quickly you can encounter the section about finding a job before the papergirl arrives which causes the tutorial to end on an error.
