And there's no room for Brandi's brood.

'Have you thought any more about college? Beau was looking at the sciences, Cody, what about- '

'Mom, it's YEARS away- '

'And how long do you think it takes to put an application together?'

'What if I just want to race cars for a living?'

'That's not *practical-*'

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke

It sets a bad example for the other boys. They should be thinking about the future, not wasting time on video games. What's so special about virtual *shoes,* for Watcher's sake?!

Across town, Brandi is in the depths of suburban hell.

'What do you mean you *failed out?!* In your last semester?!'

'It's not like I planned it! A-and you don't need a degree to be successful, look at Dad!'

No way in hell is Dirk telling her *that* saga

I didn’t make most of the sims, just fixed the family trees with #cas.fulleditmode
#pleasantview families are complete now. Like walking around in NostalgiaVille.
#simmer #nerd #selfcare for me.

Besides, at least school doesn't have Mom looming over them like she's the next Mrs Crumplebottom.

(Mason's thankful she didn't see them five minutes earlier, pulling their clothes back on)

They're not stupid. Everyone can feel the trouble brewing, and bit by bit it bleeds through, leaving the air toxic and the house malevolent.

When he dreams, it's of Darleen. Brandi knows it.

Brandi's doing her best to keep up appearances. She thought she'd finally shaken the image of being trailer trash, and if she can't have her happily ever after, she can at least have her dignity. Even if she struggles to look Darren in the eye.

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke #darrendreamer

Even Darren and Brandi are using this as a chance to reconnect (because really, who gave these kids so many snow days?)

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke #darrendreamer

It was supposed to be a new start; a new house, a new name, a ring on her finger. Now she might as well be back at the trailer park with her son out stealing and too many kids she can't provide for.

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke

'Oh, Avey, sweetie -- don't worry! We were just talking about... aliens! On TV! They stole away this Don guy and no one's seen him since!'

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke #darrendreamer

'You *forgot* to tell me you were involved with her?!'

'We haven't seen each other in ages... it was just a silly fling! We weren't even exclusive; Cass was engaged to that Lothario guy, before he disappeared!'

Like she hasn't heard all this before.

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke #darrendreamer

Until it wasn't.

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke #darrendreamer #cassandragoth

It's meant to be the best day of her life, sending her back to those halcyon days where she was a proud wife rather than trailer trash. Her granddaughter looks so beautiful in her dress. Everything was perfect.

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke

Time ticks on; the kids are getting older. They're moving on without her, towards their own happiness. Shouldn't she do the same?

(Mason's new trait: Artistic)

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke #beaubroke

Brandi are you fr? #TheSims2 #BrandiBroke

also jfc Darren you guys have... three kids (and counting) together like for god's sake give the poor woman a ring

I meme but I do like Brandi. She's had a hard life but genuinely loves her kids. Angela and Avery lived with her for a while until Dustin graduated uni

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke

Now you're all caught up, Brandi rolled the want to marry Darren, and it seems to be working out well? Darren's a good influence on the kids, and she seems to really enjoy keeping the house nice for him. Time will tell if he'll want to marry her, too...

#ts2 #thesims2 #brandibroke #darrendreamer

Now for everyone's favourite trashy family, the Brokes!
Brandi rolled the want to have ten kids, because she hates me. She's well over halfway there. Her traits are Hopeless Romantic, Easily Impressed, Naive, Nurturing, and Flirty
