In The Sims 3, Vadim is an adult and lives with his wife Fatima Simovitch and their daughter Betty Newbie in Riverview. He works as a Fertilizer Analyst in the Science lab. He doesn't understand why his wife is trying to turn her daughter into a star, instead choosing to focus on watching television, as his bio states. At the start of the game, Vadim is 14 days from becoming an elder. While Vadim has blond hair genetics in The Sims 2, he has black hair in The Sims 3. He could be of Slavic descent because of his name.
