Brad Burb

Life leading up to The Sims
Brad Burb first appeared in The Sims as the husband of fashion crazy Tiffany Burb and the father of John Burb (originally known as "Johnny Burb" in The Sims.Tired of the hectic pace of the city, Brad packed up the family and set out in search for peace and quiet. His interests include weeding, watering, and soup. He is a nature-lover, unlike his wife, Tiffany, who loves fashion. He moved to Pleasantview to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, which his wife Tiffany is still skeptical about. He wears a brown jacket over a red/purple shirt, with blue jeans and a pair of black boots.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
By the time the storyline has caught up to The Sims 2, both Brad and his wife have passed away. Their son, John, is married to Jennifer Burb (formally Jennifer Pleasant) and they have a daughter,  Lucy, who is a child. Brad can be found on the both John and  Lucy's family trees. His parents, Benjamin and Susan Burb, who were introduced in The Sims 2, seems to look like people from the South, and since Pleasantview's original appearance is meant to look like the South (when the town was named Old Town in the original The Sims, and the neighborhood theme is / New Orleans), so it is suggested that Brad was born in Pleasantview or he was born in another rural area.
