YAY! I FOUND HIM!!
1yay
Okay, for anyone else wondering, in order to find him, you must have all four [Playable, Townies, NPCs, and Uneditables] checked in order to find him, and look for the one with ONLY the blue square in the corner. YAY.
I'm gonna go test him out. :D

Whatever you are going to do I recommend that you don't. The whole Broke family is completely borked and nothing would help. You cannot even ressurrect the guy with normal means because the ghost man will just say that you don't know anyone that died and is disturbing him. The eldest boy, Dustin, has in fact no father, and the child that Brandi is expecting is a "pregnant with self", so the baby will look like her no matter if you ressurrect the husband and use the insiminator to reconfirm that he is the father. So long you keep him alive he will only present mistakes and technical troubles. The Skip that they placed in game is just a copy of the bodyshop manequim, the real father to Dustin should be the model that has a very rough face and flat nose. I made a test and recreated the whole family in another empty hood. In fact I got all the elements of the game inclusive a boy that looked very much to Dustin and the other was very similar to Bo (though my models were adjusted to produce perfect babies faces, no distortions).
So, this family was played but somehow they lost the primary elements and just replaced. There's inclusive the fact that if you change game language or the number of the hood, sims that are dead lose partially their initial data and are replaced by the bodyshop manequim. If you check the ghosts at the Spencer house at Strangetown you will see that all ghosts are borked. There's a teen girl there that is not even a girl but a man.
Do what I did: ressurrect skip with whatever you have (I used ChristianLov ghost phone), but I suppose you need to make many more tricks. When I wanted (I don't even try anymore) to have back those craps, I first use something to spawn the ghost in the lot (like Inge's teleporter for ex.), stop the game so that I don't lose him and check all his data. He must have aspiration, zodiac sign and all that crap otherwise nothing will happen, correct it if he doesn't. Then correct the relationship to at least one member of the family. Then you let the game say that he died in another lot - and disappear. Afterwards you may ressurrect him. There are other characters, mainly in StrangeTown that no matter what you try it will not succeed (one in the house of the pregnant man and the other in the Generals house. I think that all the 3 hoods were used by EAxis to build and test the "Scripting" crap that they still use. If you want to confirm my statements, choose one of the borked ghosts at Spencer and put him to have a face lift in that game machine, you will be surprised with what you will see.
MissBubbles:
If you mean by normal means, I used SimPe. Not even in-game, much less 'normal'
I edited all relationships before, and deleted everything that said he was dead.
It's going just fine so far, Although all the babies did end up looking like Brandi, there was a girl in there. I was hoping for a girl that had blond hair, but I got bored at around 15 babies. [exiting and not saving]
XPTL297:
You don't get blond hair if one of the partners have black hair, unless you change dominance. In my game I gave dominance to blond, that's why I got the two blond boys. In the past you didn't have resources. I can suggest a very simple and easy way to get your broke family reunited. Start from zero, that is, to the start point of the Broke house when you enter it for the first time. If you like to play those hoods, make a back-up of the fresh installed hoods, so when something is borked, you start from zero again.
My simple way: abort Brandi's pregnance, reset Bo's age so he is a totally fresh toddler, revert Dustin to child again. This way you break all the crap script written for this household. Use Inge's teleporter and kick both kids to adoption (Inge's teleporter doesn't break the relationship, but if you use the one I posted it will not destroy any relationship). Done all this, then you can start to mess up with Skip, there will be nothing in the way to fail. Correct Skip so that he has the best possible data. One thing I would suggest is very effective: go to CAS and recreate a sim with all you wish Skip to look like, personatity, appearance, clothing, etc, etc. Move him and throw him in the townies family. Exit the game and open Simpe. Use simsurgery and transfer the look of your newly created sim to Skip. This will automatically correct all his borked appearance data. After you corrected everything then you can ressurrect him or do whatever you mean to be effective. Inge has a Marriage Arch that allows you to marry sims that don't even know each other, how many times you want. Use it and marry Brandi again to skip, you can also do all the kisses, makeouts, woohoos and when everything is normal, adopt the two boys and impregnante Brandi again. Voila! Reunited perfect family. Move them out from the house they live, preferably before adopting back the boys. Houses become even more messed up than sims. If you don't want the adoption memories, go to Simpe and correct them at your taste.
This way you have all the happening REALLY happend and this is something that cannot bork.
MissBubbles:
Okay... So... I'm listing this so that I can get it right. Correct me if I miss a step or don't say a step right. [That means I won't do it right]
I have the Sim Blender, which from what I've heard is the better [supported] alternative to the Insimenator. It'll do pretty much everything you're saying.
1: Terminate Brandi's pregnancy, Reset Beau, and change Dustin to a child.
2: Put up for adoption/ Beau and Dustin
3: Create New Skip [Should I keep his name, or put New Skip so I know which is which?]
4: New Skip: Make Townie
5: Exit and open up SimPE.
6: Transfer the look of New Skip to Skip [How would I do this? :/ ]
7: Marry them? [Could I just edit their relationship/memories in SimPE, or would that bork it? I'm trying to cut down on hacks.]
[EDIT: Is this the arch? Inge / Marhis special wedding arch- MATY Link ]
8: Move them out [Would a custom house be best?]
9: Adopt the boys, impregnate Brandi, fix memories.
10: Big, Happy Family. :D [Or, hopefully. :P]
[Edited for Grammar mistake. *blush*]
Thank you, by the way. I appreciate the help. :D
