Birthday Cakes: Horribly and Unexplainably Buggy?
TreyNutz:
Nope. I haven't had any such issues with the cake. It's usually problematic because every sim has to watch when you use it - an issue I think you dealt with in your noswarm hack. I used to have the whole household just sit on couches (no action queued), right before the birthday sim blew out the candles.
For infants, it's just difficult to age them. I was using the tombstone of L and D (AGE baby option) to try and age 2 sets of infant twins, and it just wasn't happening. Then I used the Make All Happy option on the mailbox and everything started to work like a charm. Next time I have to age an infant I going to make sure the kid is as green as I can get 'em before using the cake. I don't know if that will help, but it's worth a try, I think.

I haven't seen those problems, JM. The only issue with birthdays is the aging swarm, and the general bugginess of parties.
And I have just about all your released mods installed.

One thing is that the infant won't age if it's about to soil its diaper. That is one constant which will cause the action to abort. Tired and/or hungry don't seem to affect it.

Aha! That would explain many of the infant-to-toddler anomalies I've encountered. Lately I've been using the Testing Cheats to check up on the babies, especially just before their birthdays, which might explain my unusual string of successes.

yetyak thanks reggikko for this helpful post ;)
I do seem to get a lot of "help with birthday" icons fading while the sim stands there with a smelly baby, now I know why.
