Eliza is married to Bob Pancakes, but the family biography implies that their marriage is an unhappy one. Contrary towards this, they have the same starting relationship as other married couples when actually played, though their trait conflicts may cause problems later on. Eliza may be based partially on Betty Newbie, as both are named from diminutives of Elizabeth and are married to men named Bob. Furthermore, Eliza's hairstyle is very similar to Betty's in The Sims 3, while her athletic pursuits are reminiscent of Betty's in The Sims (console).
