Wedding... Chef makes no wedding cake?

Hi,
I haven't noticed this in my game do you have any CC/Mods installed in your game?

Never trust hired chefs to do their job in the Sims 4. They almost always fail miserably at it.

That's why I always had someone bake a wedding cake to be placed in the bride's or groom's inventory before starting any wedding party.

I always have the bride or groom make their own cake.

never had hired sim making wedding cake i just got used to making it myself before starting a wedding after first fail

I also find that caterers just really be making total random dishes until you tell them to get out like it never ends

stressful really

I find it really variable. Sometimes I hire a chef and I get masses of mac and cheese for my upscale wedding, and no cake. Other times they'll make about 5 cakes and no other actual food. I've found it's always best to have a sim make a cake beforehand and put it in their inventory, and then you can use it in any lot. I've also found that if you put the wedding topper on before you put it in their inventory, it'll stop sims from autonomously eating a slice of cake before you've had a chance to use it for your event!

They never have and probably never will - at least when I play - I've given up on weddings - I have them elope.

This makes me long for the sims 2 era where sims could just buy a cake from the catalogue. (though that might have been for birthday cakes, not wedding cakes?)
In sims 4 I mostly have a sim bake the cake before the wedding or birthday party.

I say it's a 50/50 sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. I have noticed a bug where my caterer wouldn't make anything else and was stuck in one spot until I told my sim to place the cake topper. I think he was trying to do it himself but was bugged out and the game locked until someone else put the topper on.

Sometimes they only make a cake which is annoying but more often than not, they don't make a cake. Luckily my sims usually can bake their own real quick LOL
