Head of Family Achievement not flagging
Can anyone tell me if this achievement is still doable? Everything I have read is from years ago. It is the only achievement from the base game I have not been able to get, and it is completely frust...
Forum Discussion
I am finding it hard to believe that in 10 days not one single person can help me or even reply to my problem. Absolutely no one else has had this issue? No one at all has completed this recently and can let me know if it still works? I have posted on the actual Sims forums under general and technical sections and can get no help what so ever. I find it very difficult to believe in a community as tight as the Sims community is that I can beg for help for almost a month and just get nowhere with it.
@piperbird I'm sorry to hear that you've had problems with getting an answer. I saw this on the old forums ( source here ) let me know if it helps:
I had the same problem, unlocked 15 children no problem but 30 grandchildren wasn't unlocking and I worked it out, I know have the achievement.
First check the two obvious things:
- Must be ALL human family
- Must never change active household during the whole process
Now this achievement also requires the 'grandmother' to be head of the house. What does that mean I hear you ask!
While we can't see it the game nominates a head of the house, the owner of the house if you like and this person is generally the oldest member. My problem was the great grandmother wouldn't die lol She was 105, her daughter was the grandmother with 30 grandchildren, but because the great grandmother was still alive the game wouldn't register the achievement.
Problem was I had moved the great grandmother out with a whole bunch of children to make room, plus she wasn't dying! I ended up having to move her back in, kill her off so all her belongings was passed on to the new home owner, which in my case the grandmother with 30 grandchildren.
After that I adopted one last child, the 31st grandchild which triggered the achievement.
Nightmare YES but at least we know now!
I have seen that before, thank you.
It isn't much help with my problem, but it actually makes me feel a ton better that at least someone finally responded. I was feeling so invisible!
Thank you a lot. 🙂
I think people probably didn't respond because they didn't know the answer.
I'm going to tag @rumbutter here - any ideas please
helooooo all sadly no no ideas i don't bother with the achievements anymore due to the fact some where done away with and where either bugged and just not working at all one possibility i can think of though is that while playing that specific game you may need to be logged into the game while playing to record the births and may not work while off line brb and will edit this post to see if i find info on that in a search
edit to add not much shows up in searches for this achievement and is dated to 2012 but see here page 12 post by SimGuruJekyll
