@iBaconPancakesYT I merged your post with the bug report.
Do make sure it's not mods that's the issue for you though
EA is looking for saves so could you send yours as per this post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVES-Sims-don-t-age-up-on-birthday-Still-teleport-Patch...
THanks

My Sims won’t age up when interacting with the birthday cake. It’s been happening since the skin tone slider update. I have made new cakes. Tried all the interactions, make a wish, blow out candles etc. I have quit and restarted. I have tried multiple sims over multiple age ranges. I don’t know what else to do. Any thoughts?

Sims won't age up using cakes. No commands work.
Also this is a side note but I've found that if a Sim is hungry, they'll start making meals incessantly. They won't stop to eat and just continue to make plates and plates of food.
