So I'm doing birthdays with aging off. I selected what I want done on the holiday and obviously gifts is one of them, but it has it for the birthday girl to give gifts which makes no sense. Is there a way around this?

When I hold birthdays I have them as an event instead of a holiday. Durning the event there is an option in the friendly social to “give birthday gift” to the birthday sim.

IF you do it as an event don't they have to age up? I'm trying to have birthday parties that don't age them up.

Isn't that the penultimate goal of having a birthday?

I'm trying to act like they have multiple birthday parties as a kid, teen etc, rather then one bday party where they age up to the next life stage.

Then simply create the birthday parties as normal but do not set it as a goaled event. That means the event goals won't push you to age up your sim through blowing the candles on the cake and you can celebrate the party anyway you like. Just avoid the cake, or at least never put candles on it.

If you're doing it this way then don't have it on their actual birthday that way they won't feel sad and don't make it an actual birthday party, decorate it with gifts and balloons but in your head it will be the sims birthday!
