Analysis - BROKE - Brandi





Brandi - is painted as white trailer trash. A Family sim, who is 'too friendly' - has a bedroom like a bordello, and cheap and gaudy decorations. Someone who drinks.

What Brandi is actually like:

Arts Hobby, means she has some creativity and her own sense of style.

Her interests in Fashion - means that she will NOT dress like Trailer trash. Interested in Travel- means decorations in her home will be about exotic destinations that she'd like to visit. Not interested in Culture or Food, means that it isn't exotic food or culture she's interested in. So look at sports, weather, snow/sand, landscape. Things to watch and experience.

Family sim means that Family is most important to her. Outgoing, nice and playful - means she won't be a strict authoritarian. More likely the sort of mum who wants to guide her children by being a role model, and want to be 'friends' with her kids.

Things were cool but positive between her and Skip when he died (20/10) although she is pregnant with his 3rd child. So the mourning period, will be both sad (because she's family sim) and guilty (because the relationship wasn't good) and relieved (because there is no more stress from the coolness of the relationship). Skip was her childhood sweetheart. His death is painted as suspicious 'Pool ladder death.


Brandi is a child of 2 poor sims.  She's very aware of the stresses of poverty. She may or may not have coping skills for that. Before she had the children she was in a job and a promotion, but gave it up after Skip died, and Beau was born. Continuity error - Skip died before beau was born, but she is pregnant with Skip's child. She grew up well in all stages and was taught by her mother to walk, talk and use the potty - strong mother model.

While she's not interested in Food, she has 8 in cooking. So simple meals, cooked well.
