Birthday cake without making it??

My sim lives off grid but wants to have a birthday party at his home lot. Is there any way cheats/mods or anything, that would let me either buy a cake or spawn one? I tried buy debug but I could only find slices of cake. I tried KawaiiStacie but when they brought the cake home it had a slice missing so I couldn't put candles on it. Does anyone have any ideas? I really miss just being able to buy a cake!! Why oh why can't we just buy a cake?? (can you tell I've spent AGES trying to figure this out?

I keep having to cheat money to be able to buy a fridge and cooker, turn the off the grid trait off, to then bake one - but it really ruins the general vibe of my game :/ All thoughts and ideas welcome!
  • Couldn't you just get one from the Gallery? I've see some room downloads that have all the food dishes prepared in them.
  • I think you could even visit a neighbor (not off the grid) and use their kitchen :) They might protest, unless you have the "Always welcome" trait, but I think yu will be allowed to complete the session. No idea if this is easier to do if your relation with them is strong, or not.

    Adding: If more realistic, pretend that your sim asks a neighbor for help with the cake. Then switch to the other house, bake cake, and gift the cake to your sim.

    Make a bakery and put out wedding cakes and birthday cakes. I found it so weird that we can get anything done in TS4 by just clicking and POOF there is it.. right in their inventory, but when it comes to a cake.. we actually have to use gameplay and bake it. Very interesting choices here.
    Why can we not just order a cake and a nice delivery sim pops up with the cake in a box just like the pizza. Now that would add some gameplay as well.


    I know exactly what you mean! I thought for sure there would be a way to type in a code, or debug or something that would make a whole cake appear, but nope :s I have found LittleMsSam's mod for food delivery and you can order a cake, just like you would a pizza, and it arrives whole and ready to put candles on - which is amazing :) Highly recommended for avoiding cake making and travelling!!

    There is a mod by LittleMsSam that allows you to order almost every kind of food the same way you would order pizza. I use it all the time, it's great!


    Ooo, I'll check this out, thank you :)

    I got ambrosia and cow plants off the gallery. Someone might have cake uploaded. Or you can upload it and use it over again.

    I didn't know this was a thing! I love this idea, I'll have a look. Thank you :)
  • Thanks for all of your ideas everyone! I think I'll set up a little bakery somewhere for the future. I don't really travel with my sims very much so I don't tend to go to community lots, but I'll keep bakery's and restaurants as an option.

    I'll check out the gallery for food uploads - I didn't even know this was a thing, and I'll check out LittleMsSam - I love all of her stuff but I must have missed this option.

    You guys are awesome, thank you :)
  • I always just shift click on the ground and select create craftable and then go down through the list of listed desserts until I find chocolate cake. Boom! Whole cake. I think it is tied to MCCC but Im not sure,Im away from my pc right now or I would test it.
  • Maybe visit a commercial lot, make the cake and then put it in your inventory?
