How to Age Up a Baby on Sims 2

To age up a baby on Sims 2, you need to bake a cake and then click on the cake to select it, choosing the ‘Add Birthday Candles’ option, and finally, have the baby blow out the candles with the help of a parent if they are an infant or toddler. This process allows the baby to age up to the next life stage, giving you the opportunity to choose new traits and aspirations for your Sim.

Aging Up Process

Step-by-Step Guide

The process of aging up a baby in Sims 2 is straightforward and involves a few simple steps. First, ensure that aging is turned on in your game settings to allow your Sims to age. Then, bake a cake using the cooking skill of one of your adult Sims. Once the cake is baked, click on the cake and select the ‘Add Birthday Candles’ option. After adding the candles, you can then have the baby (with the help of a parent if necessary) blow out the candles, which will trigger the aging process.
