She is the daughter of [[Bob Newbie|Bob]] and [[Betty Newbie]], from ''[[The Sims]]'' (bothwho are both deceased at the start of ''The Sims 2'' storyline). She has two sons, [[Dustin Broke|Dustin]] and [[Beau Broke|Beau]], from her marriage to the late [[Skip Broke]], and soon after the player startsbegins to play the Broke family it becomes clear that she is carrying theirher [[Unborn baby Broke|third child]].
 
Brandi and her sons live in a small housetrailer in an out of the way corner of the neighborhood. She has a hectic life watching her rebellious teenage son Dustin, caring for Beau and stearingsteering him away from Dustin's bad choices, and being pregnant with her late husband's third child. According to her [[biography]] she is known for being kind-hearted, sometimes overly so.
 
==Biography==
===Life leading up to ''The Sims 3''===
Brandi is one of only two living pre-made adult Sims from Pleasantview that was not featured in ''The Sims 3'' (the other being [[Cassandra Goth]]). Her parents, however, are shown to be teenagers in [[Riverview]], so it is possible for her to be born in-game once they become young adults.
 
Despite being older than Cassandra Goth, Brandi does not make an appearance in ''[[The Sims]]'', nor is she mentioned. She also never appeared in ''[[The Sims 4]]'' either. Her [[family tree]] in ''The Sims 2'', however, proves that she is in fact the daughter of Bob and Betty Newbie.
 
==Biography==
===Life leading up to ''The Sims 2''===
===Life leading up to ''The Sims 3''2===
At the start of ''The Sims 2'', Brandi and her sons live at [[55 Woodland Drive]]. Upon first entering the game she wears a pink patterned halter top and tight blue jeans, and her black hair is pulled back with a yellow clip. She is the recently widowed mother of teenage Dustin, and toddler Beau. It becomes apparent very quickly that she is also carrying her third child. When the game is first played, Brandi is close to becoming fat.
 
AtBrandi thedoes beginningnot ofseem theto game she hasn'thave gotvery much money, perhaps a result of losing her husband to a pool ladder accident, and therefore losing the income he'd had brought in. However, she seems to have some expensive items in the house, such as the bed and the pinball machine. She did havehad a job as a Drive Through Clerk in the [[Culinary#The Sims 2|Culinary]] career track, but quit shortly after Beau'sgiving birth, possibly to raiseher himson properlyBeau.
 
When the family is first played Brandi is 22 days away from becoming an elder. Due to this, some players believe she had Dustin as a teen, butwhich thatis isn'tnot possible unless cheats or hacks are used. BesidesAdditionally, her [[memories]] indicate that she was an adult when she had Dustin. ThereforeThe reason for this is because she was created in Create-a-Sim, itbut canan bein-universe assumedexplanation could be that she had access to the [[Elixir of Life]] at some point in her life.<ref group="n">She is not unique in this, as it has also been noted in [[Andrew Martin]] of [[Riverblossom Hills]]' [[Martin family (Riverblossom Hills)|Martin family]].</ref>
 
Her relationship with each of the [[Caliente Family|Caliente sisters]] is just short of the friend level, though she doesn'tdoes not seem to have much in common with either of them. There is a high chance that Brandi, [[Darren Dreamer]], and [[Nina Caliente]] will appear in the [[welcome wagon]] in ''The Sims 2'' early in the game, since they are unemployed.

Brandi also appears in the trailer for ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]''. She is shown to be paying for something. She and her sons are the only pre-made family in Pleasantview that has no connection to the Goth family. In fact, no one from the Broke family even knows any member of the Goth family.

When the game starts, it is revealed that Brandi is pregnant with her third child. However, due to thereSkip's beinggenetic nofile being fatherunlinked, the baby will take Brandi's genetics, and have black hair instead of the blond hair that Skip passed down; and will always be male. OfLinking course,Skip theso playerthat mayhe chooseis toproperly changelinked before the baby's hairis colorborn whenwill heresult is older.

There is an error with her memories in that she gave birth to Beau after [[Skip Broke|Skip]] died, yet her third child is recognized by the game as his. Since Brandi could not have gotten pregnant with the third Broke child when she was already pregnant with Beau, Skip could not be the father unless he somehow impregnated her post-mortem. This, however, contradicts a picture in the family album that shows Brandi about to give birth with both Skip and Dustin present.
 
On the Sims Community Podcast, SimGuru Lyndsay explains that the mistake with the memories is simply due to an oversight while the cloning technique was used because the data for Brandi's pregnancy kept getting lost.<ref>[https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sul-sul/id1435681461?i=1000436475218 The pregnancy issue is adressed at 10:50 and the mistake with the timing of Skip's death is adressed at 11:22.]</ref>
