[ARCHIVED] Issues with Food

Since the new update, I can't add birthday candles to any of the cakes so I can't age up any of my sims early. My sims cooking, baking, and gourmet cooking skills are all maxed. I've made every possible cake and none of them have the add birthday candles option (or the wedding topper option).

I have checked it in my save (no cc/mods) and I was able to place both the topper and the candles, and age up a sim. (btw, it also worked with updated MC Command Center added)

Are you using mods in your game ?  If so, please remove them

See this for more information: [PLEASE READ] Usage of Mods and Custom Content 

I'm not using any mods or CC

Could you start a new game for testing purposes and also try repairing the game through Origin.

I tried it with a different family and it worked. So I went and repaired the game through Origin and now its working. Thanks!

I had the same problem.

I repaired the game.

The candle option was back.

I put the cake in the fridge.

When I needed the cake again, I put it on the counter...and the candle option was NOT available anymore.

I made another cake..and the Sim put it on the table.

Candle option was available, but the cake was placedd where the Sim couldn't reach it.

I put the cake on the counter...and the candle option was NOT available anymore.

I put the cake back on the table and the option was available again.

Weird.

(and no, no CC or mods in my game)

Edit:

in the next household the candle option was not available on the counter or the table.

I then put the cake on another table and the option was back

Actually, I think this is more of a pathfinding issue than a bug, as I had this problem too and was able to fix it myself. When you place an object in build mode it's highlighted in green, if it's highlighted in yellow, they can't use it so you need to rotate it until you get the green square around it.

The cake was on a counter that had another item on it and that was causing the issue, as soon as I removed the offending object and placed the cake on a counter that had nothing on it, the problem was solved and my Sims were able to add candles and wedding toppers to it. 

Hopefully this will work for some other people with this problem. 🙂

Issue

 None of my Bigcity-Sims can put candles on their cakes and i don`t get an option  "Älter werden" by clicking on the Sim. I always have to wait for the auto-aging and my birthday-parties are going bad because i can`t fullfil the main task.

I can also not duplicate this one. The options appears just fine for me.

• Have you tried repairing your game ?
• Did you just try existing games or also a fresh one ?
• Does it matter what kind of cake ?
