Why can Sims age quickly by birthday cake?

The Sim I controlled had become an elder, while her parents were still young adults.

    I presume you mean that the cake can continuously be set with candles, which are then blown out, and the sim ages up. I noticed the resetting yesterday, but kept the sim at the one age change.

    Yes, setting candles or blowing candles continuously is not unreal, but this kind of aging continuously is too unreal.

    Btw, I just found out yesterday that the Traditional Chinese version is different from the English version of CAS. Traditional Chinese version doesn't have the function to set personal pronouns.


    At the moment custom pronouns are only available for English. As far as I know it is the only language with this option. My game is in Dutch and I also don't have custom pronouns.
  • Are they separate households? If so, turn on auto aging for those outside of the household.

  • I wish there was a way to toggle birthdays in addition to using the cake or simply waiting for the correct time of day (and you get the sad moodlet without the cake). My sims end up eating so much cake if there's a family with several children.
