Step 1. Throw a party

Have your Sim or their parent (if the Sim is too small) come to the phone and have a party at home. Make sure this is a birthday party and not a regular party. (This step is optional. You can go directly to the second step)

Step 3. Blow out the candles

When guests arrive, direct the growing Sim to blow out the candles. It will take a while as there will be a lot of party whistles and the like, but after the celebration, glowing swirling sparks will appear around the Sim and he will grow up.

Advice

  • When your Sim is older, go to the closet and plan an outfit. This is a great idea as they usually get terrible clothes after they grow up.
  • If you want, switch the game speed to 4 / ultra, as it could be an eternity for everyone to celebrate.
  • Make sure the party is at your home lot.
  • If your Sim's hairstyle has changed, go to the mirror and change the look. Also, if a Sim has done their makeup before they grow up, the makeup will usually disappear.
  • Make sure the party you are throwing is about your birthday.
  • If you own the Sims 3 Ambition Expansion, then you can go to the Style Station and fix your outfits, makeup, and hair at the same time.

Warnings

  • Obviously, fast maturing Sims will have short lives, unless you later disable aging.
  • You can't make them any younger after growing up, so make sure you really want to.
