The '''Broke family''' is a playable family who appear in [[Pleasantview]], the town shipped with ''[[The Sims 2]]'', in [[Riverview]], a town purchasable from ''[[The Sims 3 Store]]'', and in [[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]. In most games, as their last name suggests, they are fairly short on [[Simoleons]].


==[[Player stories]]==
== 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]], 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'', likely because she hadn't been born yet at the time.


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.
*IN my game first of al brandi gets a lottery and they move intoa bigger house. Dustin cleans his act, quits his job for a better job, get better grades, and keep his relationship going with angela pleasant. At the house brandi has her third son, max. when max becomes a kid, and beau becomes a teen, around that time, brandi meets a man ,nick ramierez,created by me(btw in the beggining i didnt make him for brandi i made him randomly)She falls in love with him and they get married.Brandi gets pregnant. Brandi then finds out the true story of how her first husband dies. She wanted to know if the grim reaper really would safe a preson, so her new husband(Nick, said he will reanact the first incident and see if its true. Undoubtful brandi says yes to find out the grim reaper did not save him. So she is a single parent again, both her husbands died the same way. Months later she has her fourth child, girl, that she names nicky ann skipey broke ramierez, in honour of her two courages husbands.


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.
* In my game, Dustin continued to act out, but solidified his relationship with Angela Pleasant, and they go at it making out on the couch. They've snuck out twice, and one time he got busted, wrecking his mood and depressing him significantly. Beau grew into a child and is still as such, and Brandi gave birth to their third son, Blake. Recently, Brandi has had a crush on my self-created sim, a brown-haired, blue-eyed guy named Marc LaNeige. They've kissed and made out, but not much more can happen unless Marc decides to leave his wife Jolene and two sons, Philippe and Jean-Claude. I'm still waiting to see what will happen with that.


== The Sims 3 Store ==
* In my game, Brandi married John Burb, and while they live in a big house, they have a whopping nine children (including Brandi's first three children) and are both unemployed. Unfortunately, Beau died of starvation as a teenager and one of their children, Courtney, was taken from them before John gt a low paying job in buisness.
=== 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.
* Brandi resurrected Skip using the Resurrect-O-Nomintron, at which point it became apparent that she must've been the cause of his "unfortunate pool-ladder accident", as he was a romance sim who was very mean to her and in general a terrible person. So after a re-load she resurrected him again, this time paying less money, and his personality came back inverted. The children, Brandi, and her lobotomized husband lived happily ever after.


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.
* Dustin married Angela, after knocking up Jennifer Burb, and they now have three children.


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.
* In my game, due to the unfortunate accident of her husband, I made a Native American Sim named Talon Agnes, and they married had four children and now they rest peacefully six feet under a Willow tree in the backyard.


=== Lunar Lakes ===
* In my game, Brandi marries [[Dina Caliente]], becoming the first gay couple in Pleasentview. Brandi also moves to a much larger house and adopts a baby girl named Jasmine.
[[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 ==
* In my game.....Brandi got a job in Culinary and i turned the aging off and SAVED up 30,897 dollars! They moved to the house across from the Pleasants and had her baby 'Dan'. I turned the aging back on and Beau grew into a teenager and Dustin improved his grades and is now studying in college!!!
[[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.
* In my game, Brandi had a baby which I named Skip, after her late husband. Shortly after giving birth to kip, Brandi met Richard Moore, who she later went on to marry. Dustin went to college and then married Anglea Pleasant and became a Captain Hero. They had a baby called Robert who is doing extremely well in school adn Beau is in college and is engaged to Tina Traveller. They are both in their last semester of Senior. Hopefully they will marry and have a child whilst they achieve both of their lifetime aspirations.

* In my game, Brandi married John Burb after his wife Jennifer left him with his daughter Lucy and they went on to have another three kids, Ellie-Mae,Jake and Elliott, Ellie-Mae being Brandi's first daughter! Her first son Dustin went on to marry Angela Pleasant and they had twin daughters called Leona and Jade.Although they had almost exactly the same facial features as their dad!

*For the unnamed child, I kinda figured that since the unborn baby is the male form of Brandi, (since it's always a boy with all of Brandi's genetics) I named him Brandon. Dustin turns his life around and marries Angela and Beau grows up to be a successful, rich business man. By the time Brandon becomes a teenager, he has already maxed out his creativity, which he did as a child and sold a masterpiece just before he turned into a teenager. Brandon Broke is a popularity Sim. [[User:Cheap novelty|Cheap novelty]] 22:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
[[category: premade families]]

*In my game Brandi stays single for much of her adult life. Her son Dustin lives in Strangetown with his wife Angela and they've got one child and are having money problems. Beau Broke grows up and becomes a world known Astronaut, he married Meadow Thyler and are living a perfectly comfortable life with their five kids. Brandi's baby son Spencer grows up, Marries a sim i made named Michelle and they've just graduated from college Michelle with Honors and Spencer somewhat close. They're living together in pleasantview now. And Brandi, well she just got a very attractive artsy neighbor that she's got a crush on, but i haven't really played it out yet, she's still having money problems.

*In my game, Dustin grew up and turned his life around. He went to college at Sim State University. He graduated and married Angela. Dustin got a job in Politics and Angela got one in cooking. They had one daughter, named Norell who is all grown up and married to Joe Huffington (the adopted son of Castor Nova and Heather Huffington). Right about that time, Brandi gave birth to her new baby, a boy named Jackson. After that she decided she needed to get a job. I used the boolProp cheat to get her a job in the Paranormal field. Beau grew up and got married to Rachel Gilmore (Rachel is the daughter of Dina Calliente and a CAS of mine named Chris Gilmore). They had two childrend together. The first one was a daughter named Lorali and the second was a boy named Logan. Lorali is in college and is dating her high school sweetheart Charlie Langerak (the illegtimate child of Kaylynn Langerak and Ashley Pitts). Logan is a teen and is dating Jaeda Huffington (another adopted child of Castor Nova and Heather Huffington). Jackson grew up and married another CAS of mine named Simone. They recently had twins. Brandi finally died of old age.

* Dustin moved to college. She gave birth to a baby son called Ben. And then Beau grew up. She married Dirk Dreamer :L (and got lots of dosh) and together they lived in her little trailer until Beau and Ben went to college. Brandi found out she was pregnant again so they moved into a small-ish, but a lot nicer house. She gave birth to a baby girl called Jasmine, who's now a teen. I have nothing else to do with this family really. Although, Dustin WILL marry Angela, as I couldn't bear to see them not together)

* In my game I named Brandi's third son, Chip. Brandi remarried and her new husband allowed Beau to go to college and extend the house - they needed it because Brandi went on to have two sets of twins (all girls). Over time three of the girls died. Dustin went on to marry Angela Pleasant and they had two children - Skip junior and Belle. Beau married the daughter of a local rich family and took her name (Huntingdon). They had one son named Parker. Chip married one of the students in the greek house and had two boys - Stone and Buck. Brandi's only surviving daughter, Nancy, had twins - a boy and girl, Joe and Mary.

*Beau grew up, they got rich (thanks [[motherlode]]) and they moved next to Nina,Don,and their adopted [[child]]Sunny. I made a man named Kent Broke who moved in with Dustin, Brandi, and Beau. If the baby is a girl, I will name her Monica, and if it is a boy, Martin.


*In my Game Brandi Died before having a baby and left Dustin to rasie the toddler Beau. when he grew up Dustin Moved out and married Angela and got her pregnant. Beau has a girlfriend (a sim I made.)

*In my game I made Brandi have twins instead of one son, naming them James and Brandon. I resurrected Skip (hey, if you can't tell ALREADY, I mod a lot (: ) and got him to help get Dustin in line. Dustin moved out after getting accepted to private school and married Angela. They have four children, two alien twins and two human twins, so two boys and two girls. Beau has just moved out, while Brandon married the young townie Orlando. They have a daughter and a son. James has moved out but has no place to live yet. Finally, Brandi and Skip had two sets of triplets; in the first set Brandi gave birth to her first girl! In the second set, she had two girls and a boy. The first set are children, the second set are toddlers.

*In my game before Brandi had her baby I resurrected Skip and changed him to a family sim. Then got him a job in law enforcement. Then Brandi gave birth I was shocked when she gave birth to a girl. I named her Kelly. Beau turned into a teen and Dustin got Angela pregnant just as he was going to leave for college. Brandi then gave birth to another daughter Felicia. Then Dustin and Angela got engaged and had their son Stevie. Brandi then gave birth to another son Drew. Dustin finshed college and got married to Angela they had another son Emerson. Beau was dating a CAS sim I made named Flora Navarro but he cheated on her with her Best friend Sharla Ottomas they are about to go to college together.

The Broke family is a playable family who appear in Pleasantview, the town shipped with The Sims 2, in Riverview, a town purchasable from The Sims 3 Store, and in The Sims 4: Get Famous. In most 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, a toddler who is not well learned in his essential toddler skills. 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 that was introduced in The Sims. However, she does not appear in The Sims, likely because she hadn't been born yet at the time.

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

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.

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, almost all Brokes have either the 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 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.
