Re: Some achievements won't unlock

Hi @cl49ti7m3n0x

Can you share what you've done to unlock the 'Older & Wiser' achievement? Walk us through each step please. 🙂

For the 'All Nighter' achievement, the sim needs to be awake for 24 hours straight. To confirm, you kept your Sim up for 96 hours consecutively?

  • For the older and wiser achievement I've aged up the sims in my house hold with a baked cake and with the natural age up method. Unfortunately, the achievement didn't unlock regardless.

    For the all nighter achievement, I kept my sim up for 4 days straight using coffee. he didn't sleep, pass out or nap at all. I've tried to accomplish this on two separate occasions but it won't unlock.

    thank you. I'm not using mods or cheats either.

    Hi @cl49ti7m3n0x,

    Thanks for sharing that info.

    For the Older & Wiser achievement, there's a few things to double-check.

    • Was your Sim an Elder? Elders can't unlock the age-up achievement
    • Did you select the baked cake before a slice was taken from it to choose 'Add Candles'? Adding candles to the freshly baked cake turns it into a birthday cake
    • Did you select the cake after and choose 'Blow out candles'? This will prompt the Sims on the lot to come over and celebrate while your Sim will blow out the candle and age up.

    Could you give that a try for that achievement for now?

  • My sim wasn't an elder. He was a young adult and an adult.

    The cake was freshly baked, no slices taken. I added candles and blew them out. The other time he aged up naturally.

    I've completed these achievements many of times on my computer and I'm only having the issue on my xbox. 

    It's not only the older and wiser achievement, also the all nighter one.

    Did you ever find a resolution to these? I just got an xbox. Playing the sims. My sim has been up for 4 days on coffee. Achievement won't pop. It worked fine on my playstation and PC. Any advice?
