It's my teen vampire's birthday but when I go to host an event and start a birthday party it says that no one in the household having a birthday. I got the notification that it is her birthday and I can bake her a cake and have her blow out the candles, but not have a birthday party. I also tried to have my adult vampire start the event but it's the same, I don't have anyone else in the household. I have some mods/cc but I tried removing all my mods/cc and it still doesn't work.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get it to work?
I do not have any mods or CC and the same thing is happening to me. Each time a sim from my household has their birthday and the green bar is sparkling saying they have birthday and also the seasons calendar shows it is their birthday, when I try to start a birthday party, it says "no one in this household is having their birthday". And the problem is not the cake, as suggested in another thread from 2 years ago. It is really annoying that I cannot throw my sims birthday parties and have to make house parties instead.
@Anaideiae, I realize you might want to actually throw a party, but this isn't a requirement. Many people, myself included, hate parties in The Sims 4.☹️ They often are very difficult to pull off, and usually aren't fun for us, and can be buggy, like the problem you have mentioned. 😞
So, if you don't mind skipping the actual party, you can still celebrate your Sim's birthday, just with the family (unless you have guests over as well, but not for a party). Just bake a cake and add birthday candles and have the birthday Sim blow them out. 🥳 By doing this they won't become sad (like they do when you forget their birthday) , and you don't have to worry about any buggy birthday parties! 🙌
It is worth a try, unless you really want to throw an actual party! 😉
@PugLove888 Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate the advice. For me it is not really about my sim being sad, of course I celebrate with the cake 🙂 It is more about me being a perfectionist 😃
So when I buy a game and its expansion packs and game packs (and it is quite a lot of money), I am kinda expecting things to work like they should. And this particular thing started with the latest patch, December 2019 along with some other things like collections and awards resetting and it really takes fun out of my game as I am playing a Legacy challenge family and I like completing all the parties and collections and so on... so I know it is not a big deal in comparison to some other bugs, it only is a big deal for my style of play.
You are amazing for trying to help and I really appreciate it.
I just wish Maxis would be more responsible and actually fix their game instead of just creating more content and unfortunately more bugs with it.
@Anaideiae, thank you for your kind words! 😇❤️ I do understand if you actually want to throw a birthday party, I was just making sure that you didn't think you had to do it in order to satisfy your Sims! 😉
Does this only happen with your Teen Vampires, or are some of your Sims who can't throw the party regular Sims?🤔 If it is only Teen Vampires , then there is Bug Report on that and perhaps this thread of yours will be merged with the other one. 🤔 Please update us! 🙂
