Re: [OPEN] [XB1] Achievements not Unlocking

OKAY UPDATE:

On the same Save where my Sims are both at Max level for Piano, (with no Ivory Tower achievement unlocked)

One Sim reached Max level in painting and an Achievement Unlocked!

I went back to my save and attempted to have my sim level back to ten on the piano. No achievement.

I'm really really confused.

    I haven't gotten any sims to 10 on any instrument yet but I have one at 7 on piano. I"ll just have them keep on practicing and lookout to see if the achievement pops. Maybe it's just something related with that achievement?..

    No achievements here for some level 10 skills either.

    I should have;

    Cast Away (Fishing)

    Mael-strum (Guitar)

    Mischief Mastered (Mischief)

    Smooth Talker (Charisma)

    But none of them have unlocked. I even tried using a second sim but that didn't make them pop.

    Also having issues with Channel Surfer not unlocking. I'm 100000% sure I've watched and listened to all TV/Radio stations.

    I'm having this problem too on Xbox, I maxed out my Culinary career just now and got nothing. Also "My, You've Changed" wouldn't pop either after I used the insta-large/insta-lean combo, tried it multiple times and nothing using the same save before buying the potions. The last achievement I got was "The most interesting Sim in the World" I have seven so far and didnt have a problem until today. And I haven't used any cheats.

    I have unlocked achievements during some time and I still have trouble unlocking others.

    What achievements unlocked :
    BEFORE GLITCH
    Bow-Dacious (lvl 10 violin)
    AFTER GLITCH
    Refined Palette (lvl 10 painter)
    Mael-strum(lvl 10 guitar)
    Connoisseurus Rex (lvl 10 gourmet cook)
    Are You Entertained? (Max entertainment career)
    Tungsten Chef (lvl 10 cook)
    Most Interesting Sim (12 traits)
    My, You've Changed (fat, thin)
    Smooth Talker (lvl 10 charisma)
    Games Within Games (lvl 10 gaming)

    After this, I tried my piano save again, nothing. I also don't have my 24 hour no social or 24 hour no sleep either. My Sims are vampires, they went days without either.

    I also never got my channel surfer..

    I also continued to play on my save that cheated me from those achievements. The achievements above did unlock in that save, then I ran into another one that didn't unlock. Lvl 10 Comedy.

    What still won't / DIDN'T UNLOCK

    All Nighter (24hr no sleep)
    Channel Surfer ( watch/listen to all channels/stations)
    Introvert (24hr no social )
    Ivory Tower (lvl 10 piano)
    Straight for the Jocular (lvl 10 comedy)


    What is weird is that I have unlocked some that others haven't and vice versa from what I've read. EA, please get on this really weird glitch. I love the Sims, but I don't love grinding for skills that I went out of the way for to receive no reward, or trying to figure out what's wrong. I feel like I've tried all I can think of.

    Update:
    I noticed when the Comedy achievement didn't pop (which happened minutes before this post) there was an event happening during my skill leveling. So I wondered if that could have been the issue.

    I went to my piano save (the one where my sim is about to hit lvl 10) and also noticed an event happening on the top left. I canceled the event and had my sim continue to work toward level 10.

    This did nothing. No achievements unlocked. It might be coincidence.

    I think I found a fix and I hope it works for you guys.

    I was going for the Full House achievement (Play with an eight-Sim household) so I crated 8 new Sims and picked a house for them all to move into. As soon as the game loaded every single one of my 'glitched' achievements unlocked. Literally about 10 just popped in a row.

    So chuffed they popped. 😃

    So give that a try and see if it works for you!

    This seemed to actually work. The full house triggered some, not all of my missing achievements. I'm actually really surprised.

    I will attempt this again to see if this triggers my remaining achievements.

    Didn't work for me because I already got the Full House achievement, but I tried it anyway and got nothing.

    That's unfortunate, it worked for a few people on another forum. Hopefully a different achievement will make them all pop for you.

    UPDATE: I just got the Literal Genius achievement for level 10 writing skill. Nothing else popped though.

    Starting a new family AND PLAYING THEM helped me too in giving me the random missed achievements
  • Did this, created a new 8 Sims household and it unlocked 5 achievements. There is still some missing. I
  • Not 5 but 12 achievements pops up. I think it unlocked all the ones missing.

    I’m about to try this to receiver some Maxed Skill achievements that didn’t unlock. Do you know I this has to be done on the same save that the achievements should have been unlocked on? Or can it be done using a new save?

    So this did seem to work. I made a new eight sim family on the existing save where the achievements SHOULD have popped originally and moved them in to an empty lot. As soon as the lot loaded all of my missing achievements unlocked HOWEVER not all of them received the ‘Achievement Unlocked’ animation.

    According to my Xbox only two unlocked, one for playing an eight sim family and the other for maxing the programming skill. According to the Xbox App on my phone three achievements unlocked, the previous two and another for maxing the charisma skill. I think this was all I was waiting for.

    Now I just need to try unlocking another to see if this has fully rectified the issue.

    With me personally, it unlocked current achievements but then im still having the issue. My xbox keeps saying my closest achievement is the tungsten kitchen. Im like well yea because my cooking level is at 10...im currently stacking achievements then ill try to make another 8 household, but umm worried cuz some say that it didn't work once they unlocked the achievement

    I also tried not speeding through one of my skills to 10 achievement, as I read somewhere else, and it did not help.
