Flammable Birthday Cake!

Updates!

• 2024-08-17:
  (1) Added a Spanish translation for the memory. ¡Muchas gracias, Leslitasoyo!
  (2) Per request of that same user, I have given the Hamburger Birthday Cake by Jacky93Sims the ability to set on fire.
  (3) In order to finish the Jacky collection off, I have also went and made her 4t2 Icemunmun cake conversions fiery good.
  As usual, all these birthday cakes require the respective slice objects to be present to work correctly, so make sure you get those from the original download page!

That lime-coloured oddball Yoshi has another mischievous Sims 2 mod up his sleeve!

In Sims 3, any time a birthday cake is set ablaze, there is a small chance it may catch on fire and really ruin a special day for a family. Lately, I have grown to miss this potential for drama in Sims 2; so I have created a small mod to make Sims' lives even more unpredictable - even when you'd only wish them the best.

Features
Having this mod in your Downloads folder will do exactly one thing.
Any time a Sim is set to age up using a birthday cake, there is a 1% (1 in 100) chance that the birthday cake will set ablaze. The cutscene for the aging Sim, so long as all criteria for a cutscene to happen are met, will play out as normal, but they probably won't be able to grab a piece of their cake afterwards because... well, charred cake smells strange.
The only exception to this is babies aging up to toddlers - I could not reliably get a fire to spawn in this case.

Add-on for custom memory
Normally, the birthday Sim would get a "Fire!" memory like all Sims around them. However, I figured out a way to assign them a unique memory for the occasion that a birthday cake should set ablaze - or for a fire happening during a birthday party in general. If you want your Sims to remember this especially special moment in their life with a "Fire at Birthday Party!" memory, you can download an add-on that does just that. Sims will only get this memory once in their life, and only Sims that are aging up during a birthday party will receive it.

Should the cake survive the fire, this is also the only memory they will get during the fire. If it's eaten up though, they may get a second, general "Fire!" memory.

Add-ons for custom cakes
Since the birthday sequence is assigned to each cake, not to the CakeGlobals as it would have made sense (blame EAxis), each birthday cake needs to be modified separately to include the chance of a fire. I have done this for a few birthday cakes that are widespread in the community, and a few that I personally use.

If you'd like a custom birthday cake you use in your game to appear here, just comment and I'll see what I can do, based on the Terms of the cake's creator.

Currently supported:

• Cutscene Cake by TheLesbianPyromaniac, which is the same as the base game cake except it enables cutscenes for Sims' age transitions even if there is no party currently ongoing.
• 4t2 Unicorn Birthday Cake by Jacky93Sims.
• "Dukasha" and "Shy" Birthday Cakes by Jasana_BugBreeder.
• "Marusilda" Birthday Cake by Jasana_BugBreeder. This one is a special case because the cake textures are enabled for CEP, meaning any recolours of these will not need to get the extra treatment.
• All four birthday cakes from the "Scuba Gifts for Jo, Part I" set by NixNivis, as requested by Nostural.
• 3t2 Deliciously Indulgent Bakery Birthday Cake by Jacky93Sims, as requested by Daynasaurus.
• 4t2 White Cake for Frauhupfner by balkopat, as requested by Daynasaurus. This cake has four recolours!
• 4t2 Pinkbox-Anye Party Set Cake by Jacky93Sims.
• All three birthday cakes from the 4t2 ONI birthday cake set by Jacky93Sims.
• 4t2 Hamburger Birthday Cake by Jacky93Sims, as requested by Leslitasoyo.
• All three birthday cakes from the 4t2 Icemunmun cake conversions by Jacky93Sims.

I will only include the cake in my downloads because that's the object containing the changed resources. All cakes except for the Cutscene Cake and the three ONI cakes also require a separate "slice" object which I will not include. Please follow the links above to get the slice objects from the original archives.

Tuning
Using the provided BCON resource 0x1002, you can freely modify how likely or unlikely fires from birthday cakes should be. For example, keep it at 100 for the default 1% (1/100) chance; raise it up to 5000 (= 1/5000 or 0.02%) to practically never see it; or lower it to 20 (= 1/20 or 5%) to see more tragedies unfold in your neighbourhood.

You can change the odds for each cake individually, although I'm not sure how this would be useful, but hey - that's up to your creativity alone!

Compatibility
Expansion Packs: None, you can use this with the base game!
I did include the needed code for the three extra birthday cakes that came with Celebration! Stuff, but if you do not own this stuff pack, it will simply never be called, so it is no harm to have it in.

WHComp Patch:

AGE++	Behaviour Function (BHAV)	0x7FD0A90D	CakeGlobals	0x00002040

Memory Translations:

Language	Available?	Creator
English (US/UK)	✅	Me (LimeyYoshi)
German	✅	Me (LimeyYoshi)
Spanish	✅	Leslitasoyo
Polish	✅	simcaistk

If you'd like to contribute your native language to this mod, feel free to do so! You shall be given due credit.
All you need to translate is the Catalogue Description, or CTSS resource, of the memory mod.

Conflicts and Notes
Anything that also modifies the above resources will conflict with my mods.

• To use my mod with University after Birthday Party by Pick'N'Mix, you have to download the compatibility patch from my page, and follow the instructions on his page if you wish to patch your custom birthday cakes with the ability to head straight to college and have a successful party before blowing out the candles and potentially risking a fire.
• The conflict between my memory add-on and Nopke's Food Already Available Fix is a conflict you can safely ignore. Load order doesn't matter either; our mods make the same change to Function - Init Cake.
• guirnaldas' Snowproof Accessories mod and mine can be used together if their mod loads after mine.

Please let me know if there are any conflicts with mods you use, and I will see if something can be done about them by load order or through plug-ins.
