Renovating the Pancake's basegame 2014 house. 

overanalyzing the marriages of sims is one of my favorite past times

I personally think that this was Bob's house growing up and he's still sleeping in his bedroom and refuses to let Eliza redesign the style his parents left the house in. So Eliza feels kinda alienated in her own home and can't do anything about it and that's how her materialistic trait developed

For me, neither of the Pancakes are the victim. They’re both just kind of passive in their relationship. Eliza has the blue bedroom which also functions as an office and her own private space, since Bob would have the kitchen. They don’t hate each other, but they could both probably put in a little more effort.

The term "master bedroom" has zero slavery connotation. It was first used in a SEAR'S catalog in the early 1920s to describe the largest bedroom in the home, typically used by the master of the house. I love watching you, I hate seeing you stress over something some very young person said about a very normal, widely used phrase.

I appreciate you saying that maybe Eliza is just sick and hasn't been able to work. I am chronically ill and feel bad about not being able to work and I know she is just a sim but hearing this made me happy. Lot of people think if you don't look sick then you are faking it.

Look how happy they look 😊 Bob : 🙄

Every room looks like it’s straight from an interior design book. Your interiors always stand out. They’re so perfect.

Aw, I wish you used the Pancakes from the EA gallery where they added a toddler. Love the house so far! I'm commenting as I watch. Great series!

that would be such a good sims scenario to have a couple in a failing relationship who decided to get a pet to save their relationship

Okay that's it now I need you to play the pancakes. I'm invested. 🤣

I'm so enjoying your remodels! ❤️ My head-cannon is that Bob and Eliza both had their own problems that contributed to their marriage struggles, and that when the Sims team added Iggy to the gallery with the addition of toddlers, it meant that they had finally reconciled and expanded their family.

now i understand why bob always accepts the hook ups with my sims lolll

I'm excited to see so many renovations of the pancakes' house recently. I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's interpretation.

Maybe Eliza is taking time to focus on herself and wellness because she's going through infertility, and maybe Bob is gloomy because they're struggling to grow their family ❤ I can relate.

I think you can be fit and a slob. Slob and lazy are two different traits in the Sims 4 and also in real life. It’s a beautiful build! I love the downstairs the most. That living room looks so lively.

I’ve actually never played any of the families that came with the game. It was very interesting to see their home.

I like the idea for game play that they each have an individual room with the jack and Jill bathroom but after counseling and therapy their goal is to be in the master bedroom together and have a good marriage. Or you know alight it on fire and the whole marriage goes down in flames😅

This was perfect timing because I impulsively cut my hair last night, and when I was done, I realized I looked like Eliza Pancakes. Not the look I was going for, but ...

I always thought that Eliza's room was the one with the weights because she has the fitness skill.

I call it “Deli-classic Plus!” You never give it to us the same way! It’s always classic ++++++!

I would've kept the stairs where they were originally, but instead of them being 3 wide I would've made them 2 wide and then the 1 tile wide space left, I would've turned that into a small powder room with just a toilet and sink next to the stairs. I want to give this house a reno soon. I'm still working on the Spencer home. 😊

As someone who is more of a Bob... feel sorry for Eliza, we're not easy to live with much less be in a relationship with. Also, I don't think it's fair or right to put the blame of someone's mental health issues entirely on someone else. It really bothers me that Eliza gets all the blame for Bob's obvious mental health issues. I've suffered with depression for years and I can tell you there is no one singular cause that got me to this point. I'm not saying that Eliza didn't contribute but to put the blame all on her... NO. Don't do that. That kind of mentality is what stops people from figuring out the roots of their issues.

The house turned out nice in the end but I would've loved to see a less extreme renovation in terms of floor plan etc. I kind of like that the Willow Creek houses are closed off. Gives them a bit of a European vibe instead of open floor plan everything..

deli i’m in so much pain this video made me feel so much better :)

i’m loving this series of renovations, and also your buildcrest challenges. so fun and creative!

I'm not a fan of the downstairs floorplan, but the upstairs is lovely!

I will forever love the Deli classics! 🥰

Beautiful and practical renovation! Now I'm inspired to download this build and play Eliza and Bob with new CAS items as well. This is a great refresh

The reno looks great! It's definitely less depressing~

I LOVE that you’re just renoing then and not doing a whole demolish. This warms this OG simmers heart ❤️ lolllll

I like the concept of marriage counseling through renovation. =)

I love how you combine colors! I could never

i loveee the deli classics :D i still cant believe you own a house now!! been watching you since i was a child and im 20 now T^T first time im this early too!!

Can’t wait to download this Thankyou !

Love this renovation! The mix of modern and traditional really works for this house.

I love the deli classics tbh!

i could never get tired of the deli classics

I love the layout! Its cozy but still feels so spacious! ❤️

I am rejoicing with you about your shelf 😊 It looks great! Love you Deli, you are so fun!! I love the reno!!

Deli's videos are perfect to watch while painting the nails because it soothes my anxiety of wanting to finish painting them faster

love the deli classics xD . gorgous build as always

love this series

Deli classics are the best! Also Bob's bedroom and the kitchen might be my favorites 😍

I really love the deli classics! Loved this renovation

one of my fav builds in a while. This was fantastic!

been watching deli renovate base game houses a lot these days🥺 always look forward for the tour at the end!

oh my god!! you did it so well!! best designer ever!

Deli! Your voice is so relaxing; I love watching your videos when I have anxiety! Much love xx

This is so needed. You've helped a marriage (or at leaat Bob) tremendously. LOL

I love the reno!!! I'll definitely have to download it.

This was a wonderful renovation, it didn't take the original bones away too much. I enjoyed everything about the video.

I really love this build update. I don’t normally download houses from the gallery but I think I’m inspired to pop this in a game and work on Bob’s and Eliza’s marriage!

Great job Deli! Love the way you decorate.

I love your style of building and decorating, the colors always work so well together

I feel like I speak for a lot of us when I say, I LOVE the Deli classics!!

Love the Deli classics!

Deli you honestly made me like this style of house because it’s so well done, I never liked willow creek because I hated the houses but this one, this one I’ll definitely download. Super talented 🤩

I love a good Deli classic!

This is by FAR my favourite build!!

Loved this video, Deli. Great idea! ^^

I think both of them are victims. Maybe they married very young and impulsively, and then Eliza turns out to be materialistic and very irascible and Bob turns out to not care that much and not work on the relationship in the same way as Eliza. So we have one person who fights about wanting to better the relationship but doesn't communicate it properly, and another person who is a little too comfortable and doesn't see the issues within, therefore not working to better their romance

Congratulations on your new shelf Deli 🥳🥳💖

Deli, Thank you so much for these amazing builds and renovations. I can give my game a freshen up and live in Willow Creek after placing these cool homes that fit more with the times!

Love it! It looks so much better!

Who doesn’t love a Deli classic. XX

I Love Deli classics! The new look is great too! ❤️

I love the deli classics. You have great taste so they're always welcome

Your willowcreek reno vids have been a fave! So fun!

Love the Deli classics 💅🏼

I love it! Wonderful makeover.

I’ve been wanting to do this! I’m obsessed with that new rug! Ima need to get the new kit!

looks fab!

i love the classics deli. don’t worry ❤️ but i love when u slightly update a classic in your own deli way.

I love watching these you inspire me to want to reno my base game homes but I'm not nowhere as good as you. Keep doing these types of videos deli. Great job!🙂

In my Sims game, my dream home decorator sim has done up the Pancake home a few times. Their fam likes tropical decor, the color white, and the French style. And fishing and the violin. 😂 I'm proud of their updated house hahaha. Their Sulani themed master bedroom is amazing.

I like the shelf, this is almost as exciting as when we got the white shelf in the game! ;D

Deli, you are amazing! Thank you

That layout is soo nice

I think you could also change the narrative to where Eliza is the true victim! Basically she fell in love with Bob right and the money was just an added bonus. Once they got married she realized truly how much of a loner Bob was. He started to push her away slowly until he decided to take one of the spare bedrooms to not have to interact with her as much. After that Eliza realized the only time her and Bob really talked was when she went out and bought a bunch of stuff with his money. So she started going out and spending it all just to have an interaction with her husband who she still loves very much. In terms of the house she likes to have a big house decorated with fancy things so she can invite her friends and say things like "oh! Bobby bought this for me 🥰" to trick her friends into thinking that their relationship is fine.

I just renovated this the other day! Blue too! Personally love the deli classics.

Good job deli. I love the new house. You have a saved their marriage 👏

I absolutely love your builds!!

Looks great, I really like it!

Love watching this renovation videoes!

Deli this home is so pretty!

This was a fun build to watch

My favorite Sims 4 family to play and fix everything. lol I remember in Sims 2 I was obsessed with fixing Don and in 3 I was always the Frio brothers. 😆

Love it!😄

not almost every window being at different heights 🥴

Love you Deli!!!

The one we’ve been waiting for

Love the deli classics :)

The Deli Classics are classic. Need I go on?

Awesome 🧡

Deli classics for the win 🙌🏻♥️

Congrats on your shelf ! Now you can put in some faux plants or even real ones if you are feeling adventurous 😉

I really love this build. If it helps, I work for a plumbing company and nowadays, what was formally known as the master's suite is now called Owner's Retreat on building plans. Have a great day!

omg finally!! i love the shelf 😍

I gave Eliza a job in my update for them so she can help with the financial burden. She has a lovely home office, and Bob got a nice little lounge with a bar.
