Can't plan birthday party as no one is eligible (non-vamp)

Base game only, no mods.

Got a notice to celebrate the birthday of the older infant in a 4 person household consisting of father (at work), mother (pregnant for third time) and two infants. Mother has repeatedly tried to plan the birthday party, but "No one in the household is having a birthday today." To eliminate possible variables, the mother has sent Grim home (who she had summoned with the Grimophone to talk about grilled cheese) and dismissed the nanny (who was still in the house helping after being hired about two days before to watch the older infant while the younger was born in the hospital, but that's a separate bug) and repaired the game.

I know the mother isn't eligible for a birthday party due to being pregnant, but it seems the Plan a Social Event logic isn't recognizing infants as being eligible for birthday parties, despite them being able to be chosen as the birthday sim in the next step. I presume I'll be able to plan the birthday party once the father gets home from work.

Addendum: Sure enough, once the father returned from work, the mother was able to plan the birthday party for the infant.

Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit old bug report.

  • Not sure why I cannot throw a party, the only thing happening is the Moon Revelry and School Football day.. I tried changing it to a different day but get the same thing. It says "no one in this household is having a birthday today" - how rude

    Hi, no occults, and it does not work in another household. Although I did notice one thing, once the children arrived home from High School the option appeared - So I dont know if a correction can be made that events can be scheduled when the household is at school.

    Same thing happening to me with an infant, trying to age to toddler. Infant is a werewolf, but his mother was a teen werewolf who had no issues throwing a birthday for aging into adulthood just about a week ago. Real life week, not Sim week. Never had this issue before. Tried waiting ‘til after 9pm in game, tried turning off aging, tried repairing the game, so such luck.

    Exact same thing is happening to me, now. Had no trouble throwing a birthday party for someone else in the household just recently, but now suddenly can’t.
