Funny thing, this household was so difficult to take care of vanilla base game launch day. Dustin had to be the breadwinner while Brandi guiltily couldn't work. But when I replay with the Ultimate Collection, I had Brandi hire a butler since they're cheaper than the Nanny and he became the boys' father figure in the household. He cooked, cleaned, took care of the baby boys while Brandi rested. Eventually, I had them marry and had two girls, with him being the house husband while Brandi got to work in culinary, and Dustin eventually got his grades up enough for University and Beau got to have a better childhood thanks to the change.

Omg hiring a butler that's a genius idea :D what a great storyline and happy ending for the Brokes

I like the new entrance, makes such a difference to the house and I like the bedrooms being at either end, gets rid of that awful hallway that the toddler was stuck in getting woken by the TV and phone all the time.

Brandi with your default replacements looks so gorgeous! I like the idea of changing the floor plan to accommodate the growing family.

Thank you so much, I'm super happy you liked it^^

I always relate to the Brokes as I live near a bit of a poor town, so usually people give each other things as a community. So i always saw Brandi's bedroom having decoration help from Dina since they're friends (and share the same bedding), and Dina is encouraging Brandi to look for happiness (in her own way 😅). As for Dustin not having a dresser, i wouldn't worry. Me and my mother used to share the same wardrobe for a while. 😂 ❤ Good renovating! I love the use of CC. 🎉

Aww, Brandi and her two (spoiler: three) sons. I feel terrible for this little family. They lost so much with the death of Skip Broke! In my own Uberhood, Brandi managed to start selling some things she made on a sewing machine [an idea I got when watching someone do a review of Early Pleasentview], which she invested in after Skip Jr. was born. Dustin is off to Uni after getting a C in school, and little Beau is selling lemonade with his Lemonade stand. Brandi actually fell in love with Antonio Monty, and they raised their children as one blended family. Dustin, who was doing well in Uni and still very much in love with Angela, was surprised by having two step-siblings. But he is a good big brother. Beau and Skip Jr. were ecstatic to have friends to play with.

Love the remodel! Broke is my favorite household to play. I always get rid of the pool because I like to play realistic gameplay (the backstory never said it was their property where Skip died, after all there is no urn or tombstone).
