@KATENESS You probably have your ChallengeData.package file corrupted. From the old
pg 24 scroll up a few posts for RenateD's original:
"To anyone who has less possible achievement badges in the game than on My Page. I believe I have found the solution! It works for me at least...
In game I had a possible total badges of only 112, while on the site on My Page I could get over 250 badges. Why were they not showing in game?
In my experience it has to do with the file ChallengeData.package, which you find in the same folder as PassportData.package and for me that is: My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads\7499814502843702620
Of course, this could be another number for other people, I don't know. For me, in the folder The Sims 3\Downloads there are 2 folders with a (large) number and they both have a file named ChallengeData.package. One folder for me starts with a 7 and one with a 4. The one with the 7 also contained PassportData.package and that was the correct folder for me. So I changed ChallengeData.package in the folder that also has PassportData.package in it.
How to change it then?
I found out that the problem was that the file didn't get updated. This is was I did to fix it:
1. Rename your "The Sims 3" folder, so that when you start the game a new folder will automatically be regenerated, meanwhile keeping your data in the renamed folder.
2. Start the game
3. Start up any new game, choose a family and play for a few seconds or so.
4. Now you should get a message in the top right corner of your screen like "there are new Achievements (or Badges) available".
5. Check your achievement badges in your profile in game. For me, now I finally had a total of 265 possible badges, instead of only 112.
6. Don't think you have to save the game after this, because the file is updated and seems not related with a save, but I saved the game just to be sure.
7. close the game
8. Make an extra copy of your original The Sims 3 folder, just to be sure you don't loose anything.
8. from the current (newest)The Sims 3 folder, copy the file The Sims3\Downloads\74998114.........\ChallengeData.package to your original The Sims 3 folder and replace the old ChallengeData.package file. (Make sure you're in the correct folder!)
For me, the new ChallengeData.package file was over twice as big as the original one, which makes sense since I had a total of 112 before and now 265.
9. This is it. You can change the name of your newest The Sims 3 folder to for example "The Sims 3 test" or you can delete it.
10. Change back the name of your original The Sims 3 folder
11. Play and enjoy.
Note: The file PassportData.package contains your SimPort progress, so leave that one alone."
