Long term achievement notification delay

I play The Sims 4 with aging off so my sims have been around for a long time. With that said, my sim Giovanna just got a notification for something she achieved as a teenager. This is not the first time I have received delayed notifications like this. And sometimes I wondered if maybe they were for other sims in other households I had been playing because they did not fit whatever the current sim was doing at the moment. I know the achievement that just came in she achieved, but it was back in high school, which was a long, long, long time ago in sim days.

    There's an old thread for this but that was for notifications re-occuring.

    Did she get the notification as well when she achieved them ? Was this the only one ?

    Honestly, it has been so long since she was a teenager that I really can't say whether she got it when she achieved it or not. This was the only one right now at this time but this happens across households and randomly. I feel sure I already posted about it before but I couldn't find the post. I believe I might have titled it something like achievement (or aspiration as I confuse the two) applying inappropriately. It happens so randomly and most of the time it has nothing to do with what the current sim is doing. You know what, I bet I posted it in the wrong forum before you gave me the whatfor about not posting in the bug forum.  Yep, I found it. Would you be able to merge it with this? I am not sure I have the screenshots anymore.

    That def sounds like the old issue reported. Is that what you are seeing now too ?

    I'll merge this around later.

    Pretty much still the same. It is totally random when the achievements pop up and even if they don't duplicate at that moment like the Rosebud did, they will pop up again at a later time.  I'm still not officially clear as to whether achievements are per household or per save. Either way, achievements are very messed up. You can see in the screenshot with Portia that Rosebud achievement popped up twice right there alone. I am also 95% sure that when I was troubleshooting in test saves that the sims in the different save got achievements that they had not earned and that was why I figured the achievements were per account and not per save. I'd have to retest again to be absolutely positive on that though.
