Nightlife tip - Birthday cake freshness and the inventory
DaveFlew:
(As posted to the Nightlife BBS, but here I'm more interested in feedback than benes!)
According to various sources (BBS, Prima Guide (apparently)), you can't put food into your inventory. I'm happy to believe that, but last night I tried something and it worked - check this out.
I only use the Birthday Cake to make the Baby-to-Toddler age transition happen. Normally, if it's a small household (2 parents, one baby/toddler), most of the birthday cake goes to waste because it takes only 12 hours to become stale. So last night I tried putting the birthday cake into the mother's inventory - it worked!
Then, the next morning (more than 12 hours since they bought the birthday cake), I took the cake out of the inventory and put it on the table - the cake was still fresh! My Sims could eat more birthday cake!
I kept doing this - grabbing a slice of cake and returning the cake to the inventory, and the cake was still useable 30 Sim hours after I bought it!
So - if you store the birthday cake in a Sim's inventory, and only take it out when you want a Sim to eat cake, you'll keep it fresh for long enough, and your Sims will beable to eat the whole cake without it going stale! :)
Has anyone else observed similar behaviour with food and the inventory? Does anyone here have any idea why the freshness timer, or whatever it is, gets reset when a birthday cake is moved into and out of the inventory?

That is awesome, I never thought of trying. Will test it out in a bit. One way to save legacy money ;D
I would have thought the attributes are frozen in the inventory, time is not an issue there so nothing happens to it. Kind of like birthday cake limbo.

That is a great tip, Dave, Thank you.
Inge has a special Cake, too - It will actually add a day back to their life and she has updated it for NL.
Find it here.

birthday cake limbo.
Sounds like heaven to me ;D and you wouldn't game any weight either until you pop out of limbo.
