Sims 1 vs Sims 2 vs Sims 3 vs Sims 4 - Birthdays

LOL 08:50 absolutely love that transition! well, Sims 4 is absolutely horrible with birthday parties. In the previous games the birthday Sim would wait out until everyone was gathered, so they could all clap, scream and do wtv until they blew the candles. Now, in the sims 4, most of the time my Sims just blow the candles and no one reacts or does anything. like it didn't happen. Ehhh

[@nancyjen9791]

when i invite guests, they always go to play the computer or swim in the pool, and nobody really gives a f**k about my sim's b-day((

[@floweyseed]

Yeah, the autonomy in the Sims 4 is ass imo.. They always just do whatever or don’t do what they’re supposed to at all

[@tokichvideos]

In one of my Sims 3 games, I learned the cake can catch on fire when I was aging up my second set of quadruplets (had two sets of four). One cake caught on fire, set the whole dining room on fire, and somehow spread to the kitchen before finally being put out and I went from a family of ten to four left and most guests didn't make it. Glad I saved right before cause that was just awful. Afterwards I installed sprinklers and moved everything outside to be safe 😅. Never had that happen again in 10yrs now but I also changed the settings back to lower the chances of that ever happening again cause I was stressed irl with those babies.

Look at the difference of the look of The Sims 2 cake and Sims 4. Ya might be able to make your own cake in TS4, but even that process (being not very good, with no attention to detail), is not enough to salvage it.

[@shawn.spencer]

I have the opposite opinion. Sims 3 cake, like the whole sims 3 game, looks way wayyyyy too cartoonish for me. Everything looks so fake and plastic and especially the sims' faces creep me out and give me that uncanny valley feeling. Also the sims 3 lighting of the words is somehow blindingly bright

[@nn992iv5]

I didn’t know you could actually age up a child in The Sims 😮

[@LitrallyAJ]

Imo Sims 3 is actually the worst with birthdays simply because of how glitchy the parties can be in that game. Half the sims don't show up because they have work and the other half leave 15 seconds in. It makes it very hard to have a nice long birthday party with family and friends from around the town. Sims 2 is the best because of the cutscenes for aging up and I enjoy the party system more than the checklist in Sims 4.

[@saturn1177]

"Half the sims don't show up because they have work" well.... this is kinda realistic tho

[@LitrallyAJ]

@@saturn1177 true but sometimes realism is not the best for gameplay. I get it if jobs are fully simulated and require sims of different roles to be present at work but since they aren’t they could really allow things like parties to be the priority for a sim.

For once, Sims 4 isn't immediately the most inferior! I like the sims singing "Happy Birthday" in non-copyrighted Simlish. It does seem kind of weird that you can throw a party in a stranger's house though.

[@badgyrl310]

Oh man the flashbacks @ 8:55. This is the very reason I stopped using a cake to age up my sims in Sims 3. I had a sim die because the cake randomly caught on fire. She was holding her baby cause I was ready to age the baby up, she brought the baby to the cake, cake randomly caught on fire and she died. 😢 Needless to say, I obviously quit without saving and from that point on, I'd always use trigger age transition to age them up. I've also had sims die from a meteor, eating a jelly bean, I've had a lot of random sim deaths in sims 3, but it's still my favorite. It keeps you on your toes. Make sure you save often. 😩😳😄

0:02 about the candles on the cake, The Sims 1 candles is just a ring of fire, The Sims 2 has too many candles, The Sims 3 limited the candles, and finally, you took away two more candles making it 4 candles in the Sims 4.

[@lambadajewo.4143]

i remember how, in my household in Sims 4, i had just a group of young adults and two of them had birthday just one day apart. i made two parties and for whatever reason, one sim blew candles both times and aged twice. so i had four young adults and one senior. edit: btw that was one insane household. due to the aspirations of my Sims, i wanted to have almost all of them to know as many people as it was possible. our many, many friends would come very often and bring with them dozens of people i practically didn’t know to stay the night. and i can’t count how often some idiot guest would get a bright idea to eat my Cowplant’s cake.

I have managed to age up my sims from teen to adult by having them blow out the candles on their birthday cake while at prom. This was done by setting aside a table to accommodate the birthday cake. Celebrating a birthday at prom increases the likelihood of being selected prom royalty, although to a smaller extent than having high charisma skill.

[@petrnovak7235]

You should mention that babies in Sims 4 cannot be aged up by birthday cakes, nor can you throw a birthday party for them. You either wait for them to age up naturally, or you can age them through a menu. It is, sort of, understandable, since babies are an object that cannot be moved from the crib, but it's still annoying and immersion breaking for me. But now, that we have infants in the game, I am aging babies up immediately, anyway and pretending they didn't even exist 😁 There's no reason to deal with these object babies anymore. Still, despite this step down with babies from Sims 2 and 3, I think Sims 4 did it the best with all the other life stages. Using any cake for birthdays is just great. And hamburger cake with candles is really funny, especially for toddlers or kids. So, in this case, Sims 4 is my winner.
