Title: Help with Motherloving Birthday Post by: Zootyzoot on 2005 August 10, 16:50:57 Le gnash!
This is a terrible, terrible, terrible thing. I have had babies with overdue birthdays fester for DAYS before the interaction 'Help With Birthday' is FINALLY carried out. I don't suppose FFS has blasted this little bastard in the bollocks yet? Or does someone know how? I've got a pair of twins at the moment, one of them is an todder teetering on the brink of childhood and one is still a baby and I am VERY FRUSTRATED. (Wootah to the new home of FFS by the way.) Title: Re: Help with Motherloving Birthday Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2005 August 10, 16:54:07 Help With Birthday basically never works. What's more, it will constantly wipe out the queue of some hapless random sim, who probably isn't even related to the babies, to harass them pointlessly.
There's no real solution to this, although the current Automated Baby Controller includes an option to manually age-up a baby which seems to work more reliably than "help with birthday", that sidesteps the buggy and unreliable cake.

Title: Re: Help with Motherloving Birthday Post by: Ancient Sim on 2005 August 10, 17:48:03 I've noticed that since I started using the Baby Controller, mine are ageing much more smoothly. I had one age last night and I hadn't even noticed that anyone was attempting to do it.

Since I loathe the birthday cake, I direct someone to put the baby on the floor, then I shift-click on the baby and make them selectable (You have to choose 'make selectable' twice for it to work.). With the baby selected, choose grow-up and keep them selected while you wait for a birthday helper to toss them into toddlerhood. This method has never failed for me, whereas the autonomous 'help with birthday' and stupid cake have screwed up liberally in the past.
