The Birthday Cake Glitch

Birthday Cake Glitch

Note:  As of the Life Quest update, the birthday cake glitch no longer works.  If you have not updated your Sims game with the new update, you can still take advantage of this glitch.

Do you want to age your Sims, but you are tired of waiting 24 hours to make a cake? Or, do you need a lot of cakes, because you want to do the baby glitch?  If so, there is a glitch that you can use to pay just 1 LP to speed up the baking of your cake, commonly referred to as "the birthday cake glitch".  Keep in mind, you will still need to pay the 5 LP price to bake the cake.

To use the glitch, you must have a multi-story house with stairs and an oven on the first floor.  The glitch doesn't seem to work with a fire pole. If you don't have a house with stairs, you can go to one of your neighbor's towns, who has a multi-story house. 

Follow the steps below to successfully use the glitch.

1. Either have your Sim alone in the house where you are performing the glitch or have the other Sims in the house busy doing other tasks.  Performing this step isn't required, but it makes the glitch much easier to do when there are no other Sims in the way.  
2. Make the Sim that will be baking the cake go to the second floor of the house and leave him there.  Make sure the green diamond is over his head.
3. Go to your first-floor oven and click on it.  Choose the birthday cake.
4. Your Sim will start walking down the stairs to go to the oven.  The rectangular status bar will be over his head.
5. As the Sim is walking down the stairs, click on him.
6. When you click on the Sim, you will notice that the LP required to complete the task shows "1".  Click on "use LP".  Note:  You need to do this step quickly; once your Sim is finished walking down the stairs, the status bar will show "24 LP" to complete task.
7.  After you successfully use 1 LP to bake the cake, your Sim will immediately move to the oven and your birthday cake will be ready. At this point, the cost of the cake (5 LP) will come out of your account.

Happy baking!  And, this glitch works when you are baking other items and when you are planting as well.  Need money fast?  Then plant golden carrots and speed up the process by using the glitch. Do you want to level up quickly?  Then plant garlic, use the glitch and get a lot of XP each time the task is completed. Or, do you need to plant pumpkins as one of your tasks in a quest?  Speed it up so you don't have to wait.
