Brandi Broke (née Newbie) is a pre-created Sim living in the Pleasantview neighborhood in The Sims 2. She is the daughter of Bob and Betty Newbie, from The Sims (both are deceased at the start of The Sims 2's storyline). She has two sons, Dustin and Beau, from her marriage to the late Skip, and soon after the player starts to play the Broke family it becomes clear she is carrying their third child. There is an error with her memories in that she gave birth to Beau after Skip died, yet her third child is recognized by the game as his. Since Brandi could not have gotten pregnant with the third Broke child when she was already pregnant with Beau, Skip could not be the father unless he somehow impregnated her post-mortem. This, however, contradicts a picture in the family album that shows Brandi about to give birth with both Skip and Dustin present.
Brandi wears a pink patterned halter top and tight blue jeans, and her black hair is pulled back with a yellow clip. Brandi and her sons live in a small trailer in an out of the way corner of the neighborhood. She has very little money, perhaps a result of losing her husband to a pool ladder accident, and therefore losing the income he'd brought in. However, she seems to have some expensive items in the house, such as the bed and the pinball machine. She did have a job as a Drive Through Clerk in the Culinary career track, but quit shortly after Beau's birth, possibly to raise him properly. She has a hectic life watching her delinquent teenage son Dustin, caring for Beau due to his being a toddler, and being pregnant with her late husband's third child. She is known for being kind-hearted, sometimes overly so...
Her relationship with each of the Caliente sisters is just short of the friend level, though she doesn't seem to have much in common with either of them.
When the family is first played, Brandi is 22 days away from becoming an elder. Due to this, some players believe she had Dustin as a teen, but that isn't possible unless cheats or hacks are used. Besides, her memories indicate that she was an adult when she had Dustin. Therefore, it can be assumed that she had access to the Elixir of Life at some point after his birth.
In this image and all other storytelling images of Brandi in her adult life, Brandi is wearing unused hair. It's hard to tell, but the bangs are different from the hairstyle she has in-game, which is not unused. The fringe is thicker. Her unused hairstyle is shown in CAS in a trailer for The Sims 2.[1]
When the game starts it is revealed that Brandi is pregnant with her third child. However, due to there being no father, the baby will take Brandi's genetics, and have black hair instead of the blond hair that Skip passed down; and will always be male. Of course, the player may choose to change the baby's hair color when he is older. Usually, the baby boy turns into a toddler wearing a blue shirt, brown overalls, and white shoes and socks.
Though it can be seen in the family tree that green-eyed Skip is the father of Dustin and Beau, Brandi's memories show memories of a green-eyed Skip Broke and a blue-eyed Skip Broke. Beau and Dustin both have dark blue eyes. Using SimPE, looking in the Default family shows that there are two Skip Brokes, and the one that can be resurrected has green eyes. (This is similar to Olive Specter and Circe and Loki Beaker having memories of a different Nervous Subject.) So, the mistake here is that the biological father of Beau and Dustin (green-eyed Skip) is the resurrectable Skip, though blue-eyed Skip, who cannot be resurrected, is in the majority of Brandi's memories. Therefore, the genetics of Skip's eyes and Dustin and Beau's do not match.
