Flat Broke: Difference between revisions

'''Flat Broke''' is a [[Sim]] featured in ''[[The Sims 2]], ''as a deceased ancestral Sim, and ''[[The Sims 3]], ''as an elder Sim. The name "Flat Broke" may refer to money, as the Brokes are not exceedingly rich (hence their last name). The first name ''"Flat"'' and the last name ''"Broke"'' hints that perhaps Flat Broke really was "flat broke".

Flat lives in Riverview with his wife [[Flo Broke|Flo]], son [[Skip Broke|Skip]], and daughter [[Ruby Broke]]. His brother, [[Buck Broke]], nephew [[Trigger Broke]], and niece, [[Susie Broke]], live with him as well. It appears that he and Flo most likely had Skip on their last days as adults. Even though he is an [[elder]] in the game, his hair is a mix of brown and grey. In this game, Flat is balding with a full beard. Like most of his family, Flat is fat, has the [[Party Animal]] trait, and he only works a low-paying part-time job, perhaps due to his old age. He is friends with everyone in his family and [[Elaine Joy]], [[Ginny McDermott]] and [[Bennie Dean]] who all work at the supermarket. In order for Flat to complete his lifetime wish, he must either divorce Flo and remarry or have an affair with another Sim as Flo is too old to be pregnant, or he could adopt, which is possibly easier to do.

Although Flat is no longer livingdeceased at the start of ''[[The Sims 2]]'', the Broke family tree shows that Flat was married to [[Flo Broke]], and that they are the parents of [[Skip Broke]]. All three of them were deceased before the start of ''The Sims 2'''s storyline, which leaves [[Skip Broke|Skip]]'s wife, [[Brandi Broke]], widowed and raising her sons ([[Dustin Broke]], [[Beau Broke]], and an [[Unborn baby Broke|unborn son]], which she is expecting at the start of the game), who are Flat's grandchildren. At the time of his death, Flat's hair had gone fully grey, he had no beard and wore his hair in a ponytail, which is odd considering that he was balding in The Sims 3, which took place before The Sims 2. The fact that he has brown hair in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and his natural hair color is blonde in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', implies he dyed it brown while he was an [[elder]]. Strangely, while he had brown eyes in ''The Sims 3'', he had dark blue eyes in ''The Sims 2''.
