▲The '''Broke family'''
== The Sims 2 ==
In ''The Sims 2'', the Broke family resides in [[Pleasantview]]. It consists of [[Brandi Broke]], widow of [[Skip Broke
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
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 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'',
=== 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.
