Cottage Living - can't give chocolate cake

It could be that your sim has to be the one to bake the cake. I haven’t even managed to start anything in cottage living yet. I’m doing my aspiration challenge so just now my sims are vampires but after there finished it I’ll be getting them to do the cottage living one. Hope it’s not a bug and it is coz someone else did the baking. ?

Before this double check that a piece isn’t missing because it has to be a whole cake, and on the errand where you give the mystery grifter a whole pie I failed twice because my ? sim snuck a piece without me seeing or realizing until it was too late. ?

I didn't know that but he or she said they have a full fresh chocolate cake in their inventory.

I didn't know that.

Ha ha! I just noticed autocorrect turned gifter into grifter! ?? Anyway yes, on those errands where you are to deliver a cake or pie etc, the item needs to be whole (8 servings) or it doesn’t count. That may be why people are getting a message they don’t have it in their inventory because the game is looking for a whole item.

Is it cake?
might the sims want chocolate pie?
cause that's what the sim in my game wants pie not cake.

I’m going to hope on this post for a second..
Has anyone been able to find who has the village package? I think it’s the creature keeper, but I don’t have the option to ask him.

I think it's a random person. In James Turner's LP it was Agnes Crumplebottom, in my game it was the mayor.

It's a random outcome. The game rolls a number everytime you ask, and if it lands on the pre-determined value, the sim will become the right person. So just keep asking, eventually someone will accept it.

Hey, I'm doing a cottage living errand and even though I have a full fresh chocolate cake in my inventory, the option to give it to the sim is greyed out. When I hover over it it says I don't have one in my inventory.
Note, my sim did not bake it herself, her sister baked the cake.

Has anyone else had this bug?

I'm fairly sure you're meant to give pie, not cake.
