Birthday cake.
Menaceman:
I'll get straight to the point: Do birthday party guests completely ignore the birthday cake in everybodies game now or is it just mine? I threw a Sim birthday party and made sure to have a cake. After the candles were blown out the only Sims that bothered to grab a slice were the Sim that had grown up and the parent that took the kid to the cake. Any other Sim that was hungry headed straight to the fridge to get a bag of crisps (I'm English) So, I removed the fridge. The guests stayed for a good while longer, about 5 Sim hours, but none of them, including the ones that didn't eat since arriving, even batted an eyelid at the cake.
I have the awesome hack from this site that is supposed to make Sims go for food that is already available but it didn't seem to do anything.
The packs I have installed are all of the EPs plus FFS and GLS.

Most of the time, guests at birthday parties ignore the cake.
In fact, when I have a sim birthday, I usually have move-objects-on and I delete the cake and get the 30 simoleons back.
Only time I don't do that is if I have a neat freak sim (all ten neat points) as they scoop that cake up so fast after the candles are blown out that I don't have a chance to delete it. They head for the garbage can with it. They do the same thing with the champagne bottle, too. You're lucky to get one toast before they clean up.
Party Poopers.

I've noticed for some time now that party guests ignore birthday cake, wedding cake, and the buffet table, heading for the refrigerator instead. The only way I can interest them in other food is to prepare a meal and Call Guests to dinner. It's annoying (and it's not just you).
Menaceman:
Well I guess I should be pleased it's not just my game then. I wonder what the hell maxis/EA did to screw that up cos I know that guests used to eat cake in the base game.
Hecubus:
I've pretty much given up having parties altogether because of this. What's the point of cake and buffets if no one wants them? I can get more socializing done on a community lot, without the bother of cleaning up a mess.
There is probably something in the attraction levels...I don't recall this being such a problem pre-Seasons, so I wonder if there's something about the fridges and their sparkly food routine that causes this. I also wonder if it's more of a problem with or without produce.
