NoAgingSwarm not working

[Fifth LMNt]

Having this feature enabled stops Sims from dropping everything when someone grows up except if they are sleeping.  Sleeping sims still wake up to go celebrate the birthday.

The no swarming works when there is no birthday cake and the Sim just spins and ages.

With the birthday cake, you get a party and must cancel the interaction as soon as the aging Sim gets to the cake.

You bought a CAKE, and then you DON'T want a party? I don't follow. If you want to age up unceremoniously, don't get a cake. The cake is a lie!

[Tever]

The cake is a lie!

No, it wasn't; it just wasn't for you.

LOL!

The problem is that they took away the option to just age up.  So if you don't want to wait around until 8/9 pm of the last day and have it interrupt whatever they're doing, then you have to use a cake.  I see the point though, how then would you distinguish when you DO want a party with everyone in attendance.  Although, people who have chosen to go to bed wouldn't typically wake up to go watch the candles being blown out...

You could always use the cheats to age up.  Can't remember which setting enables it, probably debuginteractions, but there is one to "Trigger Age Transition", I have used this from time to time to age sims when I have aging turned off, and want to age a couple of sims, or I want to simply move them along faster, without the cake/party hassle.

testingcheatsenabled true, then shift click the sim, I believe.

Sounds right, and the other option that shows is to change their traits. 

I tend to forget which cheats turn what options on, as I often turn the two debug ones on at different times as well.
