The Newbie Family was the one in the Sims 1 for "novice and inexperienced" users of the Sims. When the player first begins the game, they are convinced by the game to go to the Newbie household.It was the tutorial family of the game. Bob's name fits, seeing as he had fame since every novice Sims player eventually played him (that is, if they followed the tutorial and the arrow pointing toward the Newbie lot). Mainly, this family has been added so that players could relate to Sims 1.
