Sims/Pets don’t age with birthday cake/ age-up treat
Problem
- It’s my Sims birthday and he wants to blow out the candles on the cake. After blowing out the candles the Sim doesn’t age. He just teleports a few meters and goes about his business.
- I gave my pet a age-up treat but it doesn’t age up.
Cause
Unclear. Not all Sims seem affected.
In my own tests it worked when placing the cake outside on a table but not inside on islands or counters.
Reports vary a lot. Some get it to work by going to another lot, others have tried several cake types and a third group has Sims aging anyways although they teleport.
Didn’t have a chance to test pets yet.
Things you can try
- Just wait until your Sim ages up on it’s own. That should work
- Try to place the cake on a counter/table with lots of space around.
- Try on a table/counter outside
- Try to place the cake on a table instead of table and vice versa.
- Try a different lot.
- Try a different cake type
