Skip Broke

Skip Broke was the husband of Brandi Broke, and fathered her three sons, one of which she is pregnant with at the beginning of the game. He died in a pool ladder accident (this is an in-game joke as taking away the pool ladder while a sim was in the pool was the most common way to intentionally kill a character). The unborn child always lacks his genes, making it a male version of Brandi. This is because the game chooses the genes at the moment of birth, hence the lag when a baby is born. However, pairing Brandi with someone who has blond hair does not produce blond children like Dustin and Beau, meaning she didn't have a blonde gene for either boy to inherit.

Player stories

 * I kinda went a stupid route with this family. Dustin and his bad attitude pissed me off, so I made him get together with Angela's sister, Lilith. It was hard work too, they rly don't hit it off well. Anyway, Brandi, after losing the only man she could ever love, decided to become a lesbian. Her child was born and I named him Orion. Didn't get much further than that.


 * I recreated the Broke family starting with Skip's parents. Instead of dying, he went into a "coma" he eventally came out of it. He and Brandi live in a three bedroom, two story brick house. He was able to afford after getting a huge promotion in his politics career. He is an elder now, and has lived his life very well.


 * After Dustin grew up and married Angela, I focused on Brandi. She gave birth to a baby boy named Ryan and Beau grew into a child. Then I had Brandi resurrect Skip. Skip had some of his old memories like Dustin growing up and Beau being born etc. I made Skip and Brandi renew their vows and after that the Broke family moved into a new house.


 * Beau Broke sees a documentary on paranormals and resurrection on TV when he is a child and decides to grow up and become a Paranormal expert to resurrect his deceased father, Skip. He wants memories of his father beyond birth, and he wants his younger brother Chance to get to meet Skip (Chance was born shortly after Skip died).  Beau does well in school and heads off for university at SSU.  When he returns, he moves back into the Broke trailer with his partner Cole Pleasant (adopted son of Daniel Pleasant and Kaylynn Langerak).  Brandi makes it known that she doesn't want Skip to be resurrected during her lifetime because he will still be young while she is old and wrinkly.  She knows that Beau and Chance want to meet their father, however, so she gives Beau permission to resurrect Skip after she dies.  Skip is eventually resurrected and becomes a loved and cherished addition to the lives of his children and grandchildren -- Dustin, Beau, & Chance are all married with children by now.  Skip dies again, this time of old age, and he and Brandi are finally reunited in the family plot behind Beau and Cole's house.


 * I smacked some sense into Dustin, and after a long and convoluted storyline involving affairs and deaths, the adults Angela and Dustin are living with Brandi and the kids. Dustin is unemployed, caring only about improving his skills. Angela earns money for the family from her painting, and Brandi is well on her way up the Law Enforcement ladder. Beau died, tragically, after one of his many dates, but his little brother Joey is turning out well, and helping with the new baby girl, Dusty Anne Broke.
