Steam Achievements For The Sims 4

Hello!

As a long time Sims fan and game completionist, I'd really like to see Steam achievements for The Sims 4. There's already in-game achievements, and I feel like adding them to steam would make a lot of people happy, especially myself :P

If you're a crazy person like myself (And other people I know), I would definitely purchase any DLC's required just to get that sweet, sweet 100% completion mark on Steam. Adding The Sims 4 achievements to Steam would also give people a goal to work towards, and encourage them to play the game differently to what they're familiar with. Of course not everyone will care about Steam achievements, but there's a large community of achievement hunters looking for the ultimate challenge and I believe The Sims 4 could be that ultimate achievement gauntlet (Especially the 'Legendary Legacy' achievement). 

Thank you for reading!

    I have played all the sims games over the years,  from when it was Maxis to these days where the Sims 4 free to play! It did however take me a while to play the sims 4 for one silly tiny reason. 

    I like 'complete' stuff, to have a goal in mind when I start a sandbox type game. Whilst I've enjoyed about 30 hours of gameplay building my real life house and family and building it up until we're millionaires in a mansion version of my property. I kind of got bored and didn't really know what else to explore.

    With many other games, once i've tired of the original gameplay, I got into completion mode, I explore the game via the way of achievements. I noticed the other day that the game has acheivements and these may well be tied to Origin, but they are not tied to steam.

    I personally think I would spend a lot more time in game and possibly on DLC if I had more of a reason to. 

    I would love to see the achievement added to steam, it'd also give the chance for people to display more from the Sims on the Steam profiles.

    Yes I definitely agree! I'm so ready to purchase all DLC's but holding off due to achievements. I want a goal to play towards and not just play aimlessly.

    Right there with you! I would pick up all the achievements and invest so much more time if the achievements were also connected to steam and not just in game.

    Dear [EA/Maxis],

    I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to kindly suggest the addition of Steam achievements to The Sims titles currently available on the platform.

    Including achievements would not only enhance player engagement by providing clear goals and milestones, but it could also significantly increase replayability and long-term interest in the games. Many players are motivated by achievement systems, and incorporating them could lead to renewed interest from existing users while also attracting new players who value these features.

    Additional potential benefits include:
    Encouraging exploration of lesser-used gameplay features.

    Supporting community content creation and discussion around achievement strategies.

    Increasing playtime and user retention on the Steam platform.

    As a long-time fan and member of the community, I believe this would be a valuable and well-received enhancement. Thank you for considering this suggestion.

  • Still, after many years, the game does not have Steam Achievements. It would be actually easy to add for you since Sims 4 already got achievements. So why not just add them as Steam Achievements too and give trophy hunters and other players something to hunt for? It also has been requested many times but nothing changed.

  • Hi EA_Solaire​ ,

    Steam Achievements would be really great. Could you please check if this can be implemented? :)

    Best regards,
    Dirk

  • I can relate to all the feedback my fellow complitionist give, checking every once in a while to see when i can jumpstart my sims 4 grind, its such a awesome game but i cant get into it cause i loose interest without a clear goal to play ( for me its getting achievements) id agree with buying all the dlc's like the domamine chaser i am.

    Perhaps we should start a steampost about it and see how many steamusers want it so we can have proof alot of people think the same (i think alot of people are with us on this one) 

     

    Kind regards,

    Any updates on this EA_Cade​ ? There's tons of people also asking for this in the Steam forums for The Sims 4. I actually go to the Steam forums about once a month just to see if there's any news regarding this. I've really missed Sims 4 and would get back to it in an instant if I had something to strive for rather than just playing aimlessly. Would also buy all DLC's if they also had related achievements.

    Since achievements are present on Playstation and Xbox it feels odd not to have them in Steam.

    Thanks!
