    @jorgen0412, after you do what @jpkarlsen suggested, just know that sometimes a cake has to be placed just right on a surface to get the interaction to add and blow out birthday candles.  🤨  For some strange reason, cakes do not "like" some surfaces for birthdays, or you might have the correct surface, but the cake isn't in the perfect place to get the birthday interactions! 🤒  But advice is only for after you have done what jpkarlsen suggested and remove your entire Mods/CC folder!  CC/Mods can mess with anything.  (You can temporarily remove the Mods folder and see if the creators of those Mods/CC have updated them to work with the latest Sims 4 update.  Mods have to be updated as the actual game gets updated). 😕

    Please update us on if you got the birthday cake to work or not! Best of luck and Happy Simming! 🥳

I was! I had to place the cake on various surfaces, and it suddenly worked on a round table! Thank you. Still not sure why I couldn't arrange a birthday party (I've played with different sims since then and I can't make a party for any of them) but at least my sim didn't get sad, so thank you!

@jorgen0412, I'm so glad you got it to work! 🙂 :eahigh_file: I don't know why it is so tricky to place the cake so that it will allow you to celebrate a birthday.  I usually just do the birthday cake with out a party since I don't often bother with any kind of parties in my game. 😳  But I agree with you in that I don't want my Sims to be sad all day!  Especially the children! ☹️  So, due to my lack of experience with parties, I can't help you on how to make a party.  I don't even know if there is a bug with birthday parties or not. 🤔 But if I hear anything about it soon, I'll let you know! 😉

I'm glad your Sim is happy! (And you too!) Happy Simming! 🥳
