Default Kids magic help ?
Hi hi sims 1 players !

I'm trying to play a 8 orphans/kids challenge and I'd like to use the cake spell to feed them but I always end up with toads !

They all are magicians (have a wand)
Tried indoor and outdoor
I tried with super hungry kids (in good mood and in bad mood) because for adults I've read it fails if they're not hungry enough.
Tried with all 8 sims.
They all are 19/20 at school
Tried with no food/food supply because I only found one other people complaining and it was what's been answered to him (no pizza, fridge, fresh plate...).

Tried with not so hungry kids (good mood/bad mood)

and resulted with like 20 fails (and so many toads to delete T_T)

? Thanks already for your time !

According to the Sims Wiki, the problems with the Make Cakes charm are a bug. I haven't seen a fix for it, but maybe someone else knows of one.

I've made some mods for The Sims 1 -- yes, The Sims ONE :-) -- which you can find at http://corylea.com/Sims1ModsByCorylea.html

Ah sh*t I saw a youtube gameplay with it working so I didn't think it could be a bug.

It's not over important for the challenge (which has two major difficulties, food and money - for food lol - ) I can still use the buffet or the butler since I solved the income problem. But unless special events, like burglar or phone calls, funds have a cap and increase slowly so it takes a loooot of time to improve house furniture.


*sigh*


Edit : Mod creator of Somesimthings made a mod for it because it was buggy for them too.

I just tried the Make Cakes charm with the mod installed, with two different kids, and it worked fine for both of them.

Um, are you sure you unzipped it and installed it into the right folder? It doesn't go in Downloads; it has to be in the ExpansionPack7 folder.

Hello, thanks for your test !

Yes I did put it in the ExpansionPack7 folder as it is specified on the read me.

I also have Gnohmon mod in this folder to help crystal grow quicker (or instant ?) and one to have a better welcome magic box (yours ?). I wonder if there ain't already an alteration with the first one ?

And found this old thread with a lot of people complaining, https://www.thesimszone.co.uk/knowledge/index.php?Cat=8 there is an answer that states children have to be very low hunger, and another says it works after a few fails, gonna try those.

In my tests where the children cast successfully, their Hunger bars were about half full.
