Bob and Eliza Pancakes

I have a sim that run around fixing every original family (thanks to neighborhood stories) - making couples have babies, get jobs, etc.
So, I got an idea for the Pancakes, and made Eliza and Bob split, so now I'll match Eliza with Diego Lobo (they're meant for each other). Till this moment I don't know what I'll do with Bob, I'll probably set him with Bess (from Eco Lifestyle), but I'm not sure

Hi @mael03b That's awesome! The neighborhood stories is a fun way to change up the game. Bob and Bess would be a cute couple. I could totally see Bob recycling and setting up his own business making fizzy drinks with that pack. Eliza moving to the big city San Myshuno to be with rich artist Diego, that sounds like a fun and interesting story to play out. Welcome to the forum! :smile:

In my current save I never laid eyes on them until several rotations in, when they both showed up at the Von Haunt Estate, shortly after I remodeled it to be the workplace of newly elected National Leader Victor Feng. They have therefore joined his staff :D (via the club system)

I'm only focus on Eliza right now, and it's going as planned, she and Diego are already living together, but not married yet. And yes!, Bob deserves to do something cool and meaningful for once - Bess is in a relationship with Jules though, but I'll figure it out, maybe even pair him with another sim.
And thank you for being welcoming. To be honest, I only created this account to share this. It's one of the first times where I'm really excited to see where my game leads

@mael03b I play on rotation with the premades and Bob and Eliza are definitely two of my favourite Sims Maxis created. They have had lots of stories through my saves. Eliza has had lots of great careers like Conservationist, Politician, Lawyer or sometimes home crafter. She is a busy working Mom in my game. I give her lots of kids and career gameplay. Anyone who has that neat trait in the game now gets the dust the bust kit vaccuum and household chores lol. Bob has a cooking aspiration and the Essence of Flavour trait, so I usually make those his core traits and I like to give him the cooking careers. Sometimes I make him a home cook though and change up his careers.

Actually, I always change Bob's traits in CAS. In all my Sims I swap the slob trait for the lazy one in the game, because I don't like mopping puddles after each shower. I like the napping in the chair trait for the lazy Sim. in my game, Bob is someone who falls asleep in front of the TV while watching the cooking channel and likes to stay home and cook. I like to swap the loner trait for the family oriented one, because maybe he doesn't have too many friends, but he is a good father to his kids in my game, so he is close to his family. Sometimes I swap one for the Foodie trait, to go with the cooking gameplay. I like the gloomy trait, because he is said to be unhappy, but sometimes I swap that one for the creativity one so he gets inspired often to cook or I give him different creative home business careers.

In my Pancake Universe, Eliza has had twin daughters, Cherry and Maple Pancakes, a little red-haired girl name Annie, as well as her kids in the CAS gallery, which I add back to her family. Iggy, the toddler, and the teen Iggy I rename to Julian. So she has had five kids. Next time I play them I plan to send them on a family camping trip.

Diego is my artist. I like this Sim too but I haven't played him much lately. Bess I haven't played much since the pack came out, but I have been meaning to give her a family too.

I'm so happy you pulled up my old topic on the Pancakes to be your first post on this forum!!! :smile: I look forward to reading more about your story.

@mightysprite Ha ha, I can totally see them working there. :lol:

The only time I ever play the townies is to torture them a bit. In one save, I gave the Pancakes so many bushes in their back yard that they can barely get out of their back door and down the walkway to use the grill.

In another save, I levelled their house and replaced every room with separate rooms scattered across the property. For example; if they're in the bedroom, they have to walk across their property to use the bathroom, and then walk to another part of the property to use the kitchen

@Nate_Whiplash1 a townie torturer :lol: I have tortued them by accident with your room method when trying to figure out how to build a house by choosing from the prebuilt rooms in CAS. I couldn't link the ones I wanted all together nicely, so they had to do that, walk outside to each room while while I tried to figure out how to build with the rooms

My second gen heir, Remus had a wife who happened to be a siren and they had twin girls, Ella and Cherish. Aleeni divorced him because she was a crude piece of work and ran off with their newborn son. With the twins were toddlers, Remus pursued Eliza Pancakes and asked her to divorce Bob. She gladly did so. I planned for them to get married and have children, but while I was gone for 5 minutes a fire started and she died. They married as a ghost and she acted as a second mother to the kids till Remus divorced her. 4 or 5 generations later, I saw her ghost at Ghost Night at the bar.
Nothing really became of Bob.

@Elliandre I normally don't swap the Sims traits, cause I feel like I'm changing them too much (even when I do makeovers on them I try to not completely change them) - but, may I say, I think those are really interesting changes, and how you kinda make them connect with each other (especially the loner and family oriented traits).

As I said, I have these sim that I started my save, and even though he's a great cook, the other job he has is make him make as many friends as he can, so he can manipulate (IN A GOOD WAY) they're life. So far, I made Mortimer and Bella have two kids - Constance (toddler) and Arthur (baby). Also made Sara and Simon Scott have two kids - Matteo and Theodore (both toddlers). I also decided to take a big leap and matched Travis Scott with Malcolm Landgraab, as well as Summer Holiday with Liberty Lee (they have a baby named Vincent). I didn't married them yet, but I think I'll wait until the weeding stories pack to come out so I'll make it even more special.

My sim even though he has lots of friends, he has no romentic interest, but I'll probably make him date Zoe Patel or someone from Sulani (where he lives), I'm still deciding on that, but I'm not worried, he's still a YA.

@mael03b I try to play with similar traits, I don't like to make them too different from their original character either. I love how you are using neighborhood stories to change up the families. I think this is a really fun update to the game too. Mortimer and Bella have twin toddler girls in my games. I have been thinking that since Simon Scott doesn't like farming and Sara has a party aspiration, that I might move the couple to the new island Tartosa and have Sara own a bar there and have a baby. The BFF household are my Batuu Star Wars Sims. They each belong to different factions there. I haven't paired them up with anyone in my current game, but I like your idea of putting Liberty and Summer together, I usually make them fight over Travis haha and sometimes one or the other ends up marrying him. And Travis and Malcolm is a really interesting couple pairing. Malcolm is evil so when I grow him up to YA I like to make him a Vampire and introduce him to Vlad, but now if he got a crush on Travis, who is my lightsabre wielding Star Wars hero, this might be a really fun great dramatic love story to match my Caleb Vatore and Morgyn Ember match.

@Apricus I love your family drama of a Sim running off with a baby .:lol: I'm gonna have to try that one in my game! I really wish ghosts could have ghost babies. It would have been so fun if Eliza Pancakes had a bunch of ghost kids in the game.

I gave them, somewhat a make over, especially on Bob. I make him a well-built a huge hunk of loaf! It's already on the gallery. To me, Eliza is more dominate in family economic, money grabber. Bob is more like doing housing hardware and cooking. Both the couple like to do gardening. Planing their life on Cottage... soon...

@Ancaryvan Haha, I always send him to the gym. Eliza is more controlling the household in my game too and focused on money.
