Line 22: \|play = Deceased \|neighbor = Pleasantview }} }}{{Infobox Sim3 \|name = Skip Broke \|sex = Male Line 46 ⟶ 47: \|play = Playable \|neighbor = Riverview }} }}{{DEFAULTSORT:Broke, Skip}} '''Skip Broke''' is one of the pre-created, yet unplayable, [[Sim]]s featured in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' as ancestors of playable, pre-created Sims. Though deceased when the game begins, he is in the family trees of playable Sims [[Dustin Broke]], [[Beau Broke]] and [[Unborn Baby Broke]], who are sons of him, and of his widow, [[Brandi Broke]]. Line 53 ⟶ 55: ==Biography== === Life Leading up to ''The Sims 3'' === Skip Broke is a [[Child#The Sims 3\|child]] living in [[Riverview]] with his parents [[Flo Broke\|Flo]] and [[Flat Broke\|Flat]], his older sister [[Ruby Broke\|Ruby]], his uncle [[Buck Broke\|Buck]], and his cousins [[Trigger Broke\|Trigger]] and [[Susie Broke\|Susie]]. Although he marries [[Bob Newbie#Life leading up to The Sims 3\|Bob]] and [[Betty Newbie#Life leading up to The Sims 3\|Betty Newbie]]'s [[Brandi Broke\|child]], he is only 7 days younger than they are. This means that, for a while, Bob, Betty, and Skip are all [[teen]]s at the same time. His bio states that Skip wishes for his parents to clean up after them, but makes it clear that Skip really loves his family. As a [[child]], he closely resembled his son [[Beau Broke]]. Oddly enough, when aged up, Skip's muscle slider will be close to maximum without player intervention. Child Sims cannot build muscle, possibly meaning that Skip was aged up at some point, either during development or in [[Create-A-Sim]] and had his body type modified. ~~As a [[child]], he closely resembled his son [[Beau Broke]].~~ === Life Leading up to ''The Sims 2'' === Line 68 ⟶ 70: In [[Brandi Broke\|Brandi]]'s [[memories]] there are two Skip Brokes, but which one is real and which is not is quite debatable because one Skip appears in the family photo album, while the other one appears in the family tree - and is also resurrectable. However, the Skip that appears in the family photo album is not resurrectable, which means he is unplayable, unlike the resurrectable Skip. They look alike in some ways. Both Skips wear the same jeans and a similar black and white T-shirt, albeit they aren't the same colour variant with ~~jeans~~the hidden Skip using the grey and white variant and the other Skip, the black and white. But the unresurrectable Skip has light blue eyes and thick eyebrows. The resurrectable Skip has green eyes, a narrower face and a different nose. The unresurrectable Skip is the true father of [[Dustin Broke]] and [[Beau Broke]], although they are not linked to him in the family tree. This is also proven in [[Brandi Broke\|Brandi]]'s [[memories]], which show that she met the resurrectable Skip only once, and then she married the unresurrectable Skip. When it comes to their character, both Skips have the [[Aries]] [[zodiac sign]], but unresurrectable Skip has the [[Popularity]] [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)\|aspiration]] while resurrectable Skip has the [[Romance]] aspiration. The resurrectable Skip was [[voice]]d by Stephen Kearin, while the unresurrectable Skip was voiced by David Boat.<ref>Since the unresurrectable Skip can not be resurrected in-game, the only way to confirm which voice he had is by copying his hexadecimal code and pasting it over the hexadecimal code of another Sim with SimPE.</ref> Line 111 ⟶ 113: Interestingly, a 2009 [http://www.thesims3.com/myBlog.html?persona=SimGuruRain&month=06&year=2009 blog post] by [http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/SimGuruRain SimGuruRain] on the official ''The Sims 3'' website addresses the issue directly. SimGuruRain, who was the producer responsible for the development of Riverview, makes the following comment about the Broke family: <blockquote class="note">The Broke family has their roots in the more rustic area of town. If you've played The Sims 2 you'll have a very interesting time telling this story. (Hint: You'll have to Skip twice for it to work.)</blockquote> While the comment makes it clear that the producers of the game were aware of the discrepancy, the exact nature of the quote is enigmatic. Possible explanations include the Riverview Skip being the father of the Pleasantview Skip (which would place ''The Sims 3'' in an alternate timeline, since in-game both recognize Flat as their father), or Skip somehow becoming involved in time travel that allows him to 'skip' two generations in order to make the ages match - already hinted at by [[Don Lothario]]'s appearance in Riverview (as Don's bio alludes to the fact that he was involved in time travel or teleportation), and made possible in-game to an extent in ''[[Ambitions]]'' and ''[[Into the Future]]''. Other fan theories have speculated that perhaps the comment refers to Brandi, who would need to skip out and into the neighborhood in order to reach the same age as her husband. Alternatively, the comment may be taken simply as an [[Easter Egg]], referring to the fact that there are two versions of Skip Broke in ''The Sims 2''.
