In The Sims 4, toddlers can’t blow out birthday candles on their own. To help them, you’ll need to pick up your toddler and carry them to the cake. Click on the cake with birthday candles and select ‘Help Blow Out Candles‘ then select the toddler.
Your Sim will bring the toddler to the cake, hold them up, and let them blow out the candles to age up.
⇒ Pro Tip: Make sure the cake is placed on a counter or table that’s accessible. Don’t forget to add the candles first, or the option won’t appear.
If your household has more than one toddler, the adult Sim must pick the specific toddler who’s celebrating a birthday.
Toddlers: The Cutest Characters
If you had to sum up toddlers in The Sims 4 with just one word, it would be “cuteness.” They bring warmth and joy to your Sims’ lives.
There are plenty of ways for your Sims to connect with toddlers. They can play together, carry them around, or read them bedtime stories. These interactions deepen the bond between Sims and toddlers.
Playing with toddlers is a blast, and it’s essential for your adult Sims to teach them lots of stuff. Using flashcards is a great way to help toddlers learn talking and walking skills.
Dealing with Challenges
Toddlers can sometimes be a handful. Many players opt to age them up once they’ve mastered their skills, as their desire for independence can be frustrating.
Toddlers have a knack for pushing buttons. They often refuse to follow instructions, like taking a bath, which can really test your patience.
In larger households, playing with toddlers can become overwhelming, but in smaller ones, they’re a joy to have around.
If you’re not a fan of their independent streak, you can always use a birthday cake to age up your toddlers.
