[ARCHIVED] Can't get Channel Surfer Trophy to unlock

Hey all, 

Sorry about never getting back to this thread about it, I was able to unlock the trophy three literal months after I had posted this topic, and I had forgotten by then that I had asked for help here.

I can say, definitively, this is one of the most broken and aggravating trophies in the game. I cannot, for the life of me, tell you what I did so differently, but I can confirm that I did do this trophy on the new save file with level 9 handiness and kept a notepad on my computer checking off each individual station of TV and radio. I made sure to have plenty of food ready to go for my sim, and would make them watch/listen to each of the stations for at least an hour (in-game), so this took a few in-game days to get done. It helps to merge a household with the new sim and sell off all their stuff/remove family members for free cash so you can just ring up a pizza if need be.

There really is no definite strategy. I still believe I just got lucky because I kept cycling through each channel on the television, and it just randomly popped after I continued doing the same thing I'd been doing. I can also attest (from my trophy history) that I had basically quit this game for three months, submitting to the idea that I wouldn't get it. So, if you're really grinding for that plat...

Just keep flipping the channel, and don't give up. Good luck, y'all!

(Also, I believe Backyard was still not included on my radio on the second save. I want my $10 back, EA.)

@MusicAmalieSo 1 year later, i got it first try. was going through the radio while dancing and clicking "listen to" the station i already had chosen, so when the second "listen to" promt started, i changed the station and again "listen to" the station i switched to. It popped before i even got through the radio list. So did not even go through the tv.

I also used the same savefile, only i moved that sim(the one with level 9+ handiness) to another house(last time i tried this), and bought the right tv and radio again.

I've read a lot of stuff on this problem, both from PS sites and xbox sites. So i know you can also move that sim to a new savefile, and it will work randomly sometime..
