When we first meet Brandi Broke in The Sims 2, she is a young, widowed mother living in a trailer-type shack and raising two young boys. Shortly after you begin playing her, you realize she is, also, pregnant.
Here is how I Brand's life played out in my own game.
Born Newbie, Brandi's backstory tells us that she was married to Skip Broke and that he died, via mysterious pool accident, shortly after the first birthday of their youngest son, Beau.
Brandi struggled quite a bit in the beginning. Dustin was a handful, but she and Beau were especially close and he later helped her with household chores and the raising of his little brother, who I named Ian.
Brandi had little to no romantic flings in those early days simply for the fact that there was no time. Between dealing with Dustin's failing grades and bad attitude, raising a child and a toddler, and trying to hold down a low-paying job, a relationship was the last thing Brandi was interested in.
As the boys grew, and her time became more her own, Brandi met and fell in love with the recently divorced (from Cassandra Goth) Don Lothario. The two were quickly wed - a union that produced twin daughters, Isabel and Catelyn. They also moved from Brandi's shack to a nice, two-bedroom home.
Don brought enough money into the marriage that Brandi didn't have to struggle anymore, and she got a job she enjoyed and spent all of her extra time raising her children. This afforded Don time to run around behind her back; something Brandi either never realized or decided to just keep mum about. During this time, Don fathered at least four children with other women.
Don and Brandi seemed to live in their own worlds, their paths rarely crossing. Still, they had a mutal respect and tolerance for one another and the times they did spend together, they were happy enough. Brandi had never counted on the perfect romance - she was satisfied just knowing her children were happy and well taken care of; something Don's income had helped her achieve.
Brandi is currently an elder living in Pleasantview with Don. She spends most of her free time visiting her children and many grandchildren.
Her Children
Brandi is the mother of five children.
Dustin flew the coop as soon as he turned adult - though later, he and his mother became close. He eventually married his high school sweetheart, Angela Pleasant, and, after working his way through politics, is currently Mayor of Pleasantview.
Beau worked after-school jobs to help ends meet as soon as he became a teen, and his new stepfather afforded him a college education - where he is pursuing a degree in Art and is engaged to classmate, Emmy Zaidi.
Ian grew into a fine, young man and married Rianne Ryan, daughter of Dina Caliente and former-headmaster, BJ Ryan.
Both of the twins married and soon blessed Brandi with an entire brood of grandchildren. Isabel married a downtownie, Tyson Landry, and Catelyn a downtownie named Corey Harris.
Brandi's Children:
Her Grandchildren
Brandi is the grandmother of twelve children.
Naturally, Dustin was the first to bless Brandi with grandchildren. Not long after he left home, he ended up impregnating both of the Pleasant sisters. Though he and Angela later reconciled and went on to marry and have more children, Lilith took their daughter, Elena, and never spoke to him again. Elena has since become close to her father and manages one of his restaurants.
Angela raised Dillon by herself until years later - after he was grown - she forgave Dustin and married him. They went on to have three more children: Danielle and twins Dorrie and Dodie.
Grandchildren from Dustin:
Ian and his wife, Rianne, have only one child - a boy named Hyatt.
Grandchildren from Ian:
After downloading (and since getting rid of) the Triplets/Quads hack, Isabel and Catelyn (random births both, mind you) showed a remarkably strong over-producing gene, and had a brood between them both. Isabel had quads, four boys, and Catelyn had twins, two boys.
