[NEEDS INPUT] [V] Vampires can be Aged by Another Household using Cake

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.19.60.3400
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Famous, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Go to Work, Strangerville, JA, Parenthood, Vampires, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Laundry Day, Toddler Stuff, Vintage Glamour, Kids Stuff, Spooky Day, Cool Kitchen, Holiday, Grimm's Guitar
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a vampire aged to Young Adult. Make a cake, have them place candles on it, and try to age them up. Bring another household to the vampire residence, or invite the vampire to the other household and age them up with a cake.
What happens when the bug occurs? Vampires YA and above can not age using a birthday cake but another household can age the vampires using a cake.
What do you expect to see? If a vampire can't age themselves using a cake, no other household should be able to age them.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

I tried to age up some of my vampires and was unable to do so using a birthday cake. I have a household of vampires and none of them could interact with the cake aside from adding candles. 

I was able to bring a human from another household to the vampire sims lot and age them up with a different household, which seems awkward. I shouldn't have to bring a different household over to a vampire household to age them, they should be able to do it themselves, but since they can't age themselves, it shouldn't be possible to age them with another household.

    Yeah I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm not even trying to age up my sim that is a vampire or human, but a alien! I don't even get the option to put candles on the cake. Sadly my only adults are vampires, but my alien child doesn't even get the option to put candles on the cake...

    Children can not put candles on a cake. Teenagers and up can. While the Vampires can't blow out the candles they can put the candles on the cake. Your child can then blow out the candles.

    Hi @Shirleylier

    that sounds like a different bug.

    Have you tried moving the cake to a different place ? Maybe even put it in your inventory and then back on the table.

    I just encountered this on PS4. I have a household of vampires and was trying to age them up to elders for testing another issue. They can place candles on the cake but can not blow candles out to age up to an adult or elder if they are YA already. They age fine before the YA life stage. Is this a bug? Why can't I age my vampires if I wish to using a cake?
