Who to pair with Brandi and why?

I paired her with Gilbert Jacker or I don't remember his last name, the guy from J'adore Bakery living in Bluewater Village with his elder mother

Darren Dreamer because both their spouses died and their kids look good.

Why is there no other option? lol Basically what i do is Remake the "dead, non-ressurectable sims" as my own, with their genetics as close as possible. I basically recreated skip broke and had them marry!

Played Brandi and made her very successful. She was a challenge to me because she was also pregnant and not showing, living in that run down trailer house.
Her 2 children in school, she didn't have a job. But I like challenges. Had her children finish school, and she learned Arts and crafts. It was a lot of hard work because Dustin was the only one who could help around the house, and he had to go to school. Beau could only do small things.
For her mate, I made a new sim after having her scope the room at a public place. Then I made a Sim I thought she would like because there were no single men sims for her, and nobody likes her. Brandi always has this expression on her face like she's not happy.
She is now a very skilled Painter, pottery maker, and her older son graduated from college, and Beau just graduated but Brandi is always trying to chase after her older son, Dustin, like he's her bf. So I had to stop playing them for a little while. There's no way to fix that.

The last time I played Pleasantview, I paired Brandi up with Darren Dreamer; the one daughter they had together was slightly lighter than Darren and had his dark blue eyes. This time, I'm planning on pairing her up with John Burb just to shake things up. Both are family sims and each of them have had adorable babies.

I picked Mortimer Goth because I felt like it might be fun to have her marry rich and live the easy life for a change. What I really did was have her work hard to become a successful superhero. Dustin and Beau contributed to the family finances a little before they moved out. I think Greg (Baby) was a teen when Brandi moved the two of them to a bigger house with an orchard and hired Grayson Butler. The spark between Brandi and Grayson was more than either of them could ignore. It started as an affair but eventually became a stable relationship.

Meanwhile . . . Dustin's bad boy phase gave way to a determination to restore the Broke family's reputation by becoming a business mogul. Dina saw that he was going to make it big and hitched her wagon to him. Eventually they became a power couple. Self-absorbed athlete Beau, on the other hand, was a screw up. He had a baby with his wife (Darren Dreamer's daughter Dido) and his mistress Cally, and was an uninvolved father to both of them. While Beau and Dido's marriage was crashing and burning, nobody was taking care of their son. When worse came to worst Brandi had to adopt the boy out of foster care.

More time passed, good-time-charlie Greg married a wealthy older woman and moved out. Brandi and Grayson finally tied the knot. Cally, who was at least as irresponsible as Beau, ended up having her baby taken away, so Brandi and Grayson co-adopted him.

To think that if we (or I) played the game in a realistic way but still included all those supernatural stuff, resurrecting Skip makes no sense, as Brandi and her sons are not in a position to acquire Resurrect -O-Nomitron. She or her sons can always join paranormal career, but it seems like this was not how they were destined.

Of course, this is The Sims and there are countless scenarios, and someone else can do otherwise. If I were to resurrect Skip, I would use the unborn son for paranormal career, though, and let Brandi stay unemployed.

On the other hand, I always like to make her and Darren marry. They are both single and broke. They would do a good family.

i haven't reached the point of pairing her with anyone bc my pleasantview dies whenever i add the oldies, or i just take a long break from ts2 before anything can happen, but one i'll always avoid is darren dreamer & her together, just bc of my personal lore reasons.

I made a Sim for her who was in law enforcement. He moved in a house near hers so met her during the welcome visit. He took Dustin under his wing and convinced him to give up the criminal life, which impressed Brandi. They fell in love and were very happy!
