ARGH!
I think Marvin might have had the worst birthday yet. He threw it at The Grind, very few of his guests showed up, and Charmaine died.
And the worst part? The game forgot to age Marvin up. My sims can have their birthdays at parties without cakes; it happened to Justin when Marv's bachelor party was on his birthday. Can I just quickly rush Marvin home and age him up with a cake from buy mode and try to forget that this happened?
There weren't even any distractions. Charmaine died away from the party, no one else died at the party, and it was mostly a regular clubbing night for Marvin. Next time, I'm buying a cake.
EDIT: He aged up as soon as his party was...over? At about 1:30 AM, to be precise. It was Marv's elder birthday, so the "extension" of his life stage is rather ambiguous, or so I want to think.
As I said, I'm buying a cake next time.
EDIT 2: And now my game froze up as I took Marvin to the dresser, possibly warranting a force-close if it doesn't behave. Gah.
EDIT 3: Took half an hour away from my computer to shower. After ten minutes after my shower of seeing if it would come around, it was still frozen at the "Entering Create a Household" screen, and I force-closed the program out of necessity. This whole "OMG Marvin didn't age up!" debacle might be undone, but considering how everything unfortunate that could happen happened between my last save and that, it feels dirty to have to do that. D:
What to do now?
