Pancakes family

The Pancakes family is a pre-made household featured in Willow Creek, from The Sims 4 base game. It consists of the couple, Bob Pancakes and Eliza Pancakes.

They may be loosely based on the Newbie family from the original The Sims: in both households the husband is named Bob, while the wives' names (Eliza and Betty) are both derived from the same root name (Elizabeth); furthermore, aspects of their appearances are similar to various PC and console versions of the Newbies. If so, their apparently unhappy marriage may be a reference to the fan theory that developed during The Sims 3, that Betty's ambitions in life suffered as a result of her marriage to Bob.
