Lactose-free birthday (and wedding) cake?

"Lactose Free SimCity Cheesecake" is the only birthday cake option I see in my in-game bakery for cakes, and I'm pretty sure I have one of every type of cake there.

Ok, found it. It's level 5 gourmet cooking! Thanks! I hope my sim will manage to do it before she autonomously ages up :D

Yep, it's under Gourmet Cooking. I think it unlocks at skill level 5. I'm going off memory here though, so I could be remembering wrong. I'm not playing my Sim who actually runs the bakery atm and this sim has 0 gourmet cooking. :lol:

That's actually why I have the bakery (it's actually a bakery section of a general Grocery store, which also sells a ton of premade meals, grand meals, etc.). I Can buy food and cakes for households for things like birthdays, weddings, events, etc.

Wait, can sims age up using the cheesecake?

They can. But they can't with the rice cake.

Heya!

My sim is lactose-free and it's her birthday today. I want to make her a birthday cake and I want her to actually eat it (and don't poop after eating it) but I can't find one that is lactose-free. I can't find it. Is there any? Or am I just blind?

Also, does anybody know whether there will be any lactose-free wedding cake oprions in My Wedding Stories pack?

Have a nice weekend!

Maybe try the new Sticky Rice Cake. It's a Chinese/Asian recipe, so might not contain milk.

And I haven't checked it, but the Wellness unlockable Carob Coconut Cake sounds like it may use coconut oil instead of butter/milk instead?

That one doesn't show up as lactose-free for me.

I thought that there would be more cakes for sims with the lactose free trait, seeing as you need them to age them up.

I just checked: The cheese cake is the only birthday cake available for lactose intolerant Sims.

I have never used that trait or made that cake before.

Is that like cheese cake, cheese cake? As in cream cheese cake that's not really a cake? Cause if it is, that's really odd to be lactose free since I just looked it up and it says Products made from cream — like ice cream, cream cheese, custard, or butter — should be avoided due to the high levels of lactose

The game has lactose-free, plant-based milk, which you get by feeding the cows a Veggie drink.

In real life, you can also make lactose-free cheese cake, using lactose-free cream cheese. It is similarly plant-based....though not from out of a cow. :lol: It's actually pretty tasty, here's a picture of real life lactose-free cheesecake.

My brother is lactose intolerant and there's really not that many things for which there aren't perfectly delicious alternatives any longer. 30 years ago, it was a problem, but nowdays there are many, many plant based alternatives and there is even lactose-free dairy that is still dairy, just with the lactose extracted; not an option for people with dairy allergies, but great for people who are just lactose-intolerant.

Only being able to eat a cheese cake during your birthday feels a bit limiting...

Yah, they really need to make lactose-free versions of more of the cakes. They exist irl, they just haven't really shown the lactose-intolerant Sims much love. I mean, cheese cake is my favorite dessert, and I don't even consider it a legitimate 'birthday cake'...it's not even really cake.

Especially if you don't like cheesecake...
