Broke family

The Broke family is a playable family who appear in Pleasantview in The Sims 2, and in Riverview in The Sims 3 Store. In both games, as their last name suggests, they are fairly short on Simoleons.

The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, the Broke family resides in Pleasantview. It consists of Brandi Broke, widow of Skip; Dustin, a teen going steady with Angela Pleasant; and Beau, a toddler. When the family is first played, Brandi is pregnant with her third child from the deceased Skip. Brandi is also the daughter of Bob and Betty Newbie, a married couple introduced in The Sims. However, she does not appear in The Sims.

As the name suggests, they have a monetary situation, supposedly because Brandi has just lost her husband and source of income. The family has around §930 in funds, which wouldn't be so bad if it had any source of income other than Dustin's teen job. The family has a net worth of around §25,000, and Brandi does have one or two things which can be sold for cash, but that's not a long-term solution to the family's financial problems.

The Broke family has a box of pizza in their house at the start of the game, though in some releases the box will be empty.

The Sims 3 Store
In The Sims 3, the Broke family lives in a small "caravan park" in Riverview. They are the poorest family in the town and their caravans are very cheaply decorated. They share a similar economic status to the Crosby family. In the Riverview graveyard, there is the grave of Bernard Broke, who drowned as an adult. He may be the father or brother of Flat and Buck, but he is not featured in the family tree.

During their time in Riverview, it is clear that Flat, Flo, Ruby, and Buck only work part-time jobs with low pay. This could be an explanation for their poverty.

Of all of the family members in The Sims 3, only Flat, Flo, and Skip are mentioned in The Sims 2. What happened to the others is not known. No members of the family appear in The Sims, though all of them except Flat and Flo are young enough to have been alive during that time.

In The Sims 3, the Brokes appear to have either the traits of Slob and Party Animal. This is probably why none of the adults can hold down a full time job. Skip and Mary Lu (who is a Broke by marriage) are the only ones who don't have either of those traits. Also all of them but Ruby and Skip wear very cheap looking clothes and most of them like electronica music.
