Toddlers/Infants don't age up with cake

Trying to age up a toddler using a birthday cake, the animation of them blowing out the candles works but as soon as the adult tries to put the toddler sim down, it glitches and resets them, making their arms go up in a weird way and not going through with the aging up trait screen. It ends up breaking the cake, and after multiple tests, with and without mods (MCCC and UI Cheats)  I can not age up my sim. I'm playing on short-lifespan if that makes any difference and on a Windows PC.

    hi! recently in my game, I was throwing a birthday party for one of my infant sims to age her up to a toddler. she was designated as the birthday sim in the party. her mother made a cake and added the candles, but there was no option to help the infant blow out the candles. I hit the "Age a Sim Up" option from the pie menu, and she didn't pop up there either. i tried this with both aging on and aging off, and neither provided a solution. I had to age her up manually through MCCC, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue recently or could offer a solution to the problem. thanks!

    Hi all, I'm on console and whenever I have the issue with the blow out/help blow out candles not appearing or it's grayed out and unselectable I find moving the cake around and placing it on different counters or tables helps, eventually the options appear on the cake and I can age the kids up. Personally I think it's got something to do with the space around the cake, I've noticed that in my small kitchen it glitches out but if I put the cake outside where there's lots of room around it it tends to work more consistently. Hopefully this tip will help someone 😊
