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

What did you find out? The trophy is glitched for me too on PS4, and I noticed only 0.3% of users have the trophy, compared to like 10 % on the xbox

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..

Does anyone know why the channel surfer trophy won’t pop? 
I’ve been reading every tip you can find online but it is not working. What the f please help
