Starting a new game can be overwhelming, and that's why tutorials are a staple of all games. The Sims has its own tutorial family in the Newbies, who were introduced in The Sims 1, and were probably the very first Sims encountered by players. The Sims 1 wasn't the last players would see of the Newbies though, and the family have made appearances in all of The Sims games since that very first tutorial.
