Skip Broke

Skip Broke is one of the pre-created, yet unplayable, Sims featured in The Sims 2 as ancestors of playable, pre-created Sims. Though deceased when the game begins, he is in the relationship trees of playable Sims Dustin Broke, Beau Broke and Unborn Son Broke, who are his sons, and of his widow, Brandi Broke.

During his adult lifetime, he resided in Pleasantview, one of the neighborhoods that ships with The Sims 2.

As a child, he lived in Riverview, one of the towns that is available for The Sims 3. He is playable in The Sims 3.

He does not appear in The Sims, and his whereabouts during that time are not mentioned.

Life Leading up to The Sims 3
Skip Broke is a child living in Riverview with his parents Flo and Flat, his older sister Ruby, his uncle Buck, and his cousins Trigger and Susie. Although he marries Bob and Betty Newbie's child, he is only 7 days younger than they are. This means that, for a while, Bob, Betty, and Skip are all teens at the same time.

As a child, he closely resembled his son Beau Broke.

Life Leading up to The Sims 2


By the time the storyline has got to The Sims 2, Skip Broke is already deceased. His death by drowning is explained as a "suspicious pool ladder accident", and is believed to have happened in the pool in the back of the family's house -- which has no ladder. "Suspicious" hints that the accident wasn't just a stroke of bad luck, but at the same time, it doesn't clearly say that there is a killer somewhere. For that reason, Skip's death is something of an open-ended mystery. Although his grave is nowhere to be found, he is resurrectable. Skip's past life is explained in the family photo album. When he met Brandi, he immediately fell in love with her and they were engaged (later - married). Judging by pictures in the album, it appears that they lived at the Newbies' for some time. It's not clear whether they moved out or rebuilt Betty and Bob's old house. When the already mentioned "suspicious pool ladder accident" happened, he left Brandi to take care of Dustin Broke and Beau Broke alone. He had taken an important part in Dustin's early life, and had taught him to walk and talk, even though he did not have the family aspiration.

Two Skip Brokes
In Brandi's memories there are two Skip Brokes, but which one is real and which is not is quite debatable because one Skip appears in the family photo album, while the other one appears in the relationship tree - and is also resurrectable. However, the Skip that appears in the family photo album is not resurrectable, which means he is unplayable, unlike the resurrectable and playable Skip.

They look alike in some ways. Both Skips wear black and white T-shirt with jeans, but the colour of their eyes and skin tone is different. Unresurrectable Skip has dark blue eyes and the 2nd skin tone, but resurrectable Skip has green eyes and the 1st skin tone, which hints that the real father of Dustin Broke and Beau Broke is the Skip with dark blue eyes, although they are not linked to him in the relationship tree. This is also proven in Brandi's memories, which show that she met Skip with green eyes only once, then she met and married Skip with dark blue eyes.

When it comes to their character, both Skips have the Aries zodiac sign, but unresurrectable Skip has the Popularity aspiration while resurrectable Skip has the Romance aspiration. Unresurrectable Skip is extremely interested in crime, weather, food, travel, and the environment. Resurrectable Skip, on the other side, is interested in sports, travel, politics, and fashion.
