Jebediah S. Jerky is a resident of Strangetown in The Sims 2. He is a short, frail-looking old man who wears a brown cap and blue overalls. His hands and forearms seem perpetually stained with motor oil or grease. Though his demeanor is gruff, Jeb is generally friendly with other sims. He strongly values hard work, as evidenced when he chastises the Concierge for allowing dust to collect in the lobby of the Hotel during the introductory goals at the beginning of the game.

The player first meets Jeb when their car breaks down during the game's opening, stranding them in Strangetown. He offers to take a look at it and suggests that you head over to the Strangetown Hotel while he does so. Jeb doesn't have much of a role in the story after the introductory missions, but he can still be seen around town. As he is a resident of Strangetown, he is one of the few sims who can't be checked into the hotel.

Jeb assists the player during Ava Cadavra's story arc by telling them where the Branding Iron can be found. After the player destroys the effigy of the Prime Heifer and Ava storms out of the Hotel, he smells smoke and suggests that it's coming from the Penthouse. The player and Jeb will be taken to the Penthouse automatically. After a short scene in which Optimum Alfred appears and introduces himself, Jeb will tell the player that their car engine is in worse shape than he initially thought, so they still won't be able to leave town any time soon. Once this scene concludes, Jeb will remain in the Penthouse for as long as the player does. He's able to interact with objects in the Penthouse during this time. Once the player leaves, Jeb will leave as well.

When the player becomes best friends with Jeb, he'll reveal his secret to them: though he appears "old and frail," he's actually a real estate tycoon with several homes in other countries.

He is one of the few NPCs that cannot be romanced, regardless of whether or not the player's sim is female.
