Can't age toddlers with birthday cake

I can't age up my toddlers with a birthday cake. Whenever I have them ask for help to blow out the candles, their parent will pick them up and place them back down. I have no custom content and I've already tried repairing my game.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder

When she's heading to put it down on whatever table, cancel the action, she should still drop the cake somewhere. Maybe that'll keep her from tacking "take piece" onto "put down". I'm not SURE it'll work, but it'd be worth a try.
That "take piece/serving" is a new annoying thing. I don't love it either.

Hello @darksidedmoon
Other simmers are having the same issues.
You may like to post feedback or press " me too " on this thread on the AHQ EA site that refers to the issue
http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/COLLECTION-THREAD-Issues-with-Food/m-p/5821172#M32460
With the issue with the birthday candles, there are a few things to try doing to see if helps.
Move the cake to the fridge. Then manually move it out of the fridge, put it on a counter/table and see if the issues remain.
Try putting the cake on different counters/tables/surfaces and in different positions on the surfaces and see if that helps. It can help if the cake is in the middle of the surface, not on the edge.
Make sure that the cake is on its own on the table, with no build/buy mode items with it.
Try cooking different varieties of cakes.
To try to stop the sim from taking a slice, cancel the cooking action as soon as the cake has been cooked, and see if that helps the issue.
Try going into build mode when the cake is in the oven. Place a fridge in the room if it isn't there. Then delete any counters or tables that your sim could place the cake on. Come back to live mode, and this should force the sim to put the cake in the fridge. You can then manually drag it out and place it on a table.

However, I recently ran into a glitch where the parents kept pick up the toddler and putting her down, instead of helping her blow out the candles.
Instead of resetting the game, I took the family to a restaurant and ordered a cake. Father had no problem helping the toddler to age up there.
Hello
I am sorry that you had the issue with the parents picking up and putting down the toddler. It is good that the workaround of going to a restaurant to age up the toddler worked in your game to help the issue.
Also , welcome to the forums!

Thank you very much for the welcome! Strangely, I've been a forum member since 2011 but never posted anything until today.
I've read so many of your comments, though, that I feel like I know you, which is even stranger.
You're welcome

My sim keep putting down the toddler when I choose "help to blow out the candles" or "ask to...". What can I do ? I've followed all the steps to resetting my folder. The toddler cannot go to a restaurant. It shows that my toddler can't visit the lot.
Please help and thanks !
Hello @Acr
To have the toddler at restaurant, your family has to go to the restaurant, then when there, click on the toddler and select " bring to current lot"
Try placing the cake on a variety of different counters and see if that helps.

Have you tried to place the cake in the direct center of the table or the direct center of the counter top? I noticed that on many Let's Plays on streaming sights that the players forget the most simplest of fixes. Also you need to have at least one counter top that is completely voided of extra touches and or placement items. Because those items block your sim to be able to put candles on the cake. I hope this helps everyone including TheSimSupply.

Hello
It was good that you were eventually able to age the second toddler up after the four times.

Hello @Manoodless
Do you still have a copy of your saves folder in the Sims 4 folder on your desktop, or wherever you moved your sims 4 folder to? If you do, move the new saves folder that is in the Documents -electronic arts -sims 4 folder to somewhere else on your computer. Then copy back the other old saves folder ( that was in the sims 4 folder that you originally moved to the desktop ) and place it in the Documents -electronic arts -sims 4 folder,
Then load your game and your save games should be there.
