'''Birthdays''' occur when [[Sim]]s go to their next [[Life stages|stage of life]]. Whenever a Sim is two days away from the next age transition, a warning will pop up in the top right corner alerting the player that there are only two days to either get the Sim's aspiration score up (if the Sim is in the negative), or that there is nothing to worry about since the Sim's aspiration is already high.{{Vgversion|TS2}}▼
Twenty-four hours after that warning, the player will get another alert stating that the Sim can age.

Sims can choose to throw a [[party]] to commemorate their birthday. Birthday parties normally can only be thrown on the day the Sim ages up, although birthday parties can be thrown at any time in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', Sims who don't blow out their candles, or who fail to throw a birthday party in time, will receive a [[sad]] "Forgotten Birthday" moodlet.
▲Twenty-four hours after that warning, the player will get another alert stating that the Sim can age. The player can either buy a [[Birthday Inferno Birthday Cake|birthday cake]] in [[buy mode]]{{vgversion|TS2}} or the [[supermarket]],{{Vgversion|TS3}} or click on the Sim (as long as they are not babies<ref>The grow up self interaction can be used for a baby if it is made [[Boolprop testingcheatsenabled|selectable with a cheat]]</ref>) and choose "Grow Up". In order for a baby to grow up, a Sim (teen or older) must take the baby to a cake or wait until they (autonomously) get the interaction to "Help Grow Up" eventually.
Sims grow up well or grow up badly depending on their aspiration score at the time of transitioning{{Vgversion|TS2}}, how well they did in school or learned [[toddler skills]]. A Sim growing up well will have player chosen [[Trait (The Sims 3)|

==Player tips==
*Sims will age at 18:00 (6 PM) in ''The Sims 2''. A Sim's age will advance at 00:00 (12 AM) in ''The Sims 3'', but Sims will not advance to the next life stage at any particular time.
*Using a birthday cake brings everyone on the lot to watch and blow noise-makers.
*A Sim can throw a birthday [[party]] but it is not required to age.
*If left alone, on the last day of the Sim's age period, they will age on their own. In ''The Sims 3'', Sims wake up, use a toy and turn it, replacing the birthday cake and age up. It will bring everyone on the lot to watch and blow noise-makers.
*In ''The Sims'', babies will eventually grow up into children, but children will never grow up into adults. The only way to age a child into an adult is by using the Age of Instant charm (needs Toadstools and 2x Dragon Scales) in ''The Sims: Makin' Magic''.
*It is possible to have a birthday in ''The Sims'' by buying a birthday cake and throwing a party
*Always buy cake for babies because of the time restrictions on when a Sim ages
*Wait until a Sim's mood is not in the red zone before aging them.{{vgversion|TS2}}▼
*A birthday cake will grow the Sim to the next life stage regardless of how many days remain.{{Vgversion|TS3}}
*Using the [[testingcheatsenabled]] true, players can age up Sims by shift-clicking one and choose the "Trigger Age Transition." That way, players can make them die from old age instantly as well.{{Vgversion|TS3}}
