So today i re-installed my Sims 2 double deluxe and and freetime. Its nice to play the game again 🙂
I started out playing the Broke family from pleasantview.
An overview of the family:
1. Brandi Broke just lost her husband(Skip Broke) in a pool ladder accident
2. Brandi have a teenage son(Dustin) that is doing badly and a toddler son(Beau)
3. Brandi is pregnant.
4. Dustin is going steady with Angela Pleasant.
5. The family only have less than $1000 simoleans.
6. They stay in a house with 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom, 2 rooms (pretty sad)
Brandi Broke:
She has 8 cooking point, 2 mechanical points, 3 cleaning points. In my game, she likes Art and Craft.
Dustin Broke:
A bad child with a job in Criminal career track and do very poorly in school. Strangely, he is going steady with Angela, a good child from the Pleasant family. He is also an enemy with Angela’s father. In my game, he likes Nature.
Beau Broke:
No toddler skills learnt when first played, however is nearly finished with learning to walk and is halfway being potty trained. He is not taught to talk though. In my game, he likes Music and dance.
I started the game by changing Dustin aspiration to family by Sims PE. So when the game started, i made Dustin teach Beau to talk. That was until the school bus came. I sold the swimming pool, which i found useless, and brought a pottery wheel, so that Brandi can easily work from home while caring for Beau. I made Brandi teach Beau to walk and finish teaching Beau how to talk. So basically Beau have two toddler skills and platinum aspiration. I just left Beau on his own and fulfilling his needs. As for Brandi, she spent most of her time satisfying her own needs, doing pottery and teaching toddler skills. Dustin were made to do his homework and learning skills(cooking). By the next day, Beau could grow up and he grow up happily, in platinum aspiration. Made Dustin focus on interacting with his brother and getting skills. Brandi, on the other hand, is struggling to fulfill her own needs and have to cook for her children when they are hungry. Thank God for the left-over function. Dustin and Beau went to school the same day Beau grew up. I made Beau grow up manually at 5 am While both of their grades when they come back is improving, it is still not A+ . Dustin and Beau is in charge of cleaning up the whole house. Halfway cleaning, Dustin got the flu. Which is terrible since at that time Brandi have a fear her children will be sick. -500 aspiration points So i made Dustin sleep for a long time while Beau do his homework and play with the game machine. Brandi woke up soon and she made dinner. Pork chop for dinner YAY. Dustin woke up when Brandi was serving food and was cured of his flu. So the family had a happy dinner together and after that i made Brandi do some pottery, satisfy her needs and go to sleep at around 11pm. Dustin had to do his homework so he slept almost at 12 midnight. Beau had nothing to do, so i made him study skills a little before sleeping. The next day they woke up very late, around 630 am, so i made Brandi to make some pancake and they ate before rushing to school without fulfilling any needs (except hunger) which is a bad choice, as Beau came back with low needs is almost everything, and completely red in fun. Dustin came back with low fun and bladder(luckily) Brought a outdoor chess set so Dustin could work on his Logic, and Beau came back only for me to satisfy all his urgent needs. Then he went to sleep. The weird thing is that, Brandi have not give birth, and i’m expecting it to happen soon.
A pretty fun and well-spent 1 hour. Wish i had more time to play to watch her give birth but now i have to think for a name for her unborn child (:
