Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a family with the child sim, create any cake, add birthday candles, direct child to blow out candles
What happens when the bug occurs? After the latest patch I can't age up child sim with birthday cake. After blowing candles child sim is resetted and not aging up. It happens both in old saves and new ones created after patch for testing purposes. For all other life stages cake is working fine.
What do you expect to see? Children should age up after blowing candles
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

I've also tried other options besides "blow out candles" with cake like "make a wish" for children all of them resulted in resetting and not aging.

I had this issue today in my game aging a teen to young adult.  She blew out the birthday cake candles and reset into the next room.  She didn’t age up.  I am playing on a Mac.

@KilluhBeee Merged this with the cake thread

In my game only children are resetted each time I try to age them up with birthday cake. Happens 100% times with both old saves and new one created after the patch.

I just had this same problem.  I was able to move the teen sim and child sim out of the house and they aged up just fine.

I'm having the same issue with a teen (slob, music lover) male sim, I have tried taking out my mods and cc, repairing my game, and moving lots, but nothing has worked

So my game just updated yesterday and when I was playing the sims 4 , I tried ageing up my sims with a cake and they would blow them out but not age up and spawn outside.

Me too! I was able to age up a newborn and toddlers.

But I just cant age up childs or teenagers

I play on Xbox and I’m having the same issue with child sims. I was able to age up a toddler and a young adult, it wasn’t either of their birthdays. However I’ve tried multiple times and been unable to age up a child.
