The '''Broke family''' is a playable family who appear in [[Pleasantview]], the town shipped with ''[[The Sims 2]]'', and in [[Riverview]], a town purchasable from ''[[The Sims 3 Store]]''. In both games, as their last name suggests, they are fairly short on [[Simoleons]].

The '''Broke family''' is a playable family who appear in [[Pleasantview]], the town shipped with ''[[The Sims 2]]'', and in [[Riverview]], a town purchasable from ''[[The Sims 3 Store]]'', and in [[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]. In bothmost 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 Broke]]; [[Dustin Broke]], a rebellious [[teen]] street hawker going steady with [[Angela Pleasant]]; and [[Beau Broke|Beau Broke]], a [[toddler]] who is not well learned in his essential toddler skills. When the family is first played, Brandi is pregnant with her [[Unborn baby Broke|third child]] from the deceased Skip. Brandi is also the daughter of [[Bob Newbie|Bob]] and [[Betty Newbie]], a married couple that was introduced in ''[[The Sims]]''. However, she does not appear in ''The Sims, ''possibly, duelikely tobecause hershe nothadn't beingbeen born inyet thatat the gametime.
 
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 Sims 3 Store ==
=== Riverview ===
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 a grave of [[Bernard Broke]], who drowned as an adult. He may be the father or brother of Flat and Buck, but he does not appear 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.
Line 41 ⟶ 52:
Of all of the family members in ''The Sims 3'', only [[Flat Broke|Flat]], [[Flo Broke|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'', almost all Brokes have either the [[Slob (The Sims 3)|Slob]] or [[Party Animal]] traits. This is probably why none of the adults can hold 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, possibly due to them not being actual Brokes by genetic value. All Brokes, with the exception of Ruby and Skip, wear cheap clothes and enjoy electronica music.
 
=== Lunar Lakes ===
[[Octavia Broke]] is a homeless Sim who resides in [[Lunar Lakes]]. It is plausible that she is a descendant of the Broke family due to her surname and the fact that many other Sims in Lunar Lakes are descendants of other SimNation Sims. She, however, lacks the slob and party animal traits and appears to be of a different ethnicity.
 
== The Sims 4 ==
[[Dustin Broke (The Sims 4: Get Famous)|Dustin Broke]] is a homeless sim introduced as a celebrity in ''The Sims 4: Get Famous''. He appears to be different from Dustin Broke from ''The Sims 2'', as they have a different body type, eye color, and different age.
 
Unlike ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', he has a decent amount of simoleons.
