EA StaffLet me put your mind at ease @ksofia3, if you click on that birthday cake now, it won't automatically retire your sim. It'll ask if you're sure you want to retire, and you tell the game "not right now" and that cake won't come up again (in theory). When you're ready to retire her, you can go to the sim character tab and there will be a place you can choose for retirement.
On the off chance that you click on the birthday cake and it does automatically start to retire your sim, here's what you can do. As quick as you can, force-stop the game. Then turn off your internet connection, asap. And for good measure, you can restart your phone. I've accidentally clicked the retire button, and this process saved my sim.
Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for putting my mind at ease 💆♀️. Awesome, good tip to know about saving sim. I have an iPhone. I've tried swiping out of the game and closing it.(That's how u force quit the game right? or is there another way?) But I never tried turning off wifi and restarting the phone. I'll keep that in mind. Thx!
That is how I force stop the game on my phone. If you want to be extra sure, you could go into app settings and click "force stop" (that's how it is on my Samsung Galaxy, it's probably different on the iPhone). Cutting off the internet is the most crucial part, though, as it keeps the game from updating on the server, but you have to be quick cause it's not much of a lag.
