Brandi Broke

Brandi Broke (née Newbie) is a premade Sim living in the Pleasantview neighborhood in The Sims 2. She was the daughter of Bob and Betty Newbie, two Sims from The Sims game (both are deceased at the start of The Sims 2 storyline). She has two sons, Dustin and Beau, from her marriage to the late Skip, and soon after the player starts to play the Broke family it becomes clear she is carrying their third child. (Curiously, her memories show that she gave birth to Beau after Skip died, which means that Brandi got pregnant after her husband's death.

Brandi wears a pink patterned halter top and tight blue jeans, and her black hair is pulled back with a yellow clip. Brandi and her sons live in a small trailer in an out of the way corner of the neighborhood. She has very little money, perhaps a result of losing her husband to a pool ladder accident, and therefore losing her source of income. She has a hectic life watching her delinquent teenage son Dustin, caring for Beau due to his being a toddler, and being pregnant with her late husband's third child. She is known for being kind-hearted, sometimes overly so...

Her relationship with each of the Caliente sisters is just short of the friend level, though she doesn't seem to have much in common with either of them.

When you first play the family, Brandi is 22 days away from becoming an elder. Due to this, some players believe she had Dustin as a teen, but that isn't possible unless there are cheats or hacks involved. Besides, her memories indicate that she was an adult when she had Dustin. Therefore, it can be assumed that she had access to the Elixir of Life at some point after his birth.

When you first play her, she has 8 points of Cooking skill, 2 points of Mechanical skill, and 3 points of Cleaning skill.

Brandi's Unborn Son(s)
When the game starts it is revealed that Brandi is pregnant with her third child. But due to there being no father, the baby will take Brandi's genetics, and will have black hair instead of the blond hair that Skip passed down.

The Ottomas twins
Brandi is sometimes shown in the Ottomas family tree as the Ottomas twins's father. This is a glitch, but she is not always shown as the mother, it is sometimes Nina Caliente or even someone from another town. e.g Strangetown.
