Toddler birthday parties borked since patch

MsPhy

I don' know if it's all birthday parties, or just toddlers, but since the patch last week I've had two birthday parties, both toddlers, and they were disasters. Could not get help for them to blow out the candles, either by them clicking the cake or one of the parents clicking the cake. This means, of course, that the main goal, blowing out the candles, was never achieved, so I was lucky to get bronze medals. No big deal except the mom is a Party Animal. After the party was over, the toddlers aged up on their own.

Anyone else?

Other simmers have also been having this issue. They have found that by putting the cake on different tables or counters that have been able to get the help for the toddler. Try testing by placing the cake on different surfaces. Make sure that there is nothing else on the table with the cake. One simmer was having issues when cooking chocolate cakes but strawberry and confetti cakes worked well.

Thank you, @rosemow. One cake was confetti. The other was chocolate. I did try different surfaces (even the floor, LOL), but no go. I did have a successful elder birthday party this morning. It's nice to know, at least, that I'm not alone and that it apparently is only the toddlers. I'm sure they'll get around to fixing it at some point.

Coding is so fun; fix 1 thing, break 10 others ;-) Not just in the gaming industry.

Hello
I am sorry that you have had this issue. I hope that the next time that you have a toddlers birthday party it may go better.

I'm having similar problem didn't do the party but tried cooking several cakes and did not get an option to blow out the candles so of course when toddler did age up she was sad because her birthday was overlooked.

Ive just tried to throw a Birthday party for my toddler and one of the goals was to compliment birthday sim 4 times. How do you compliment a toddler I have tried all interaction bubbles and cant find an option to compliment them which means I cant get gold party?

Hello
Try making sure that the toddler is happy before looking for the interaction . When sims are happy, it helps to bring up the compliment interactions. Try looking for heartfelt compliment under friendly.
