My sims won't unlock Over-Achiever achievement

The over-achiever aspiration requires "Have a sim complete 5 aspirations." 

My sim has completed the following aspirations:

  • Whiz Kid
  • Artistic Prodigy
  • Social Butterfly
  • Musical Genius
  • Computer Whiz
  • Renaissance Sim
  • Angling Ace
  • The Curator
  • Fabulously Wealthy
  • Bodybuilder

Why haven't I unlocked the achievement yet?

Specs: on a Windows 10 PC, launched from the Steam engine, base-game only (I have nearly all the packs but they're all disabled on Steam).

Sim info that might be relevant:

  • female adult human (but they were probably a teen or YA when I should have unlocked the achievement)
  • traits, excluding aspiration reward traits, are Music Lover, Foodie, Materialistic, Top Notch Infant, Savant, Connections, Super Green Thumb, Never Weary, Muser, Quick Learner
  • even excluding child aspirations, they have completed aspirations across 5 different categories, though one of them is the nature category that has apparently caused bugs in the past
  • they were adopted by a playable ghost sim, not made in CAS and not generated at the start of the game
  • the ghost is still in the household, and I just realized the ghost has also completed 6 aspirations with no achievement unlocked :(
  • the ghost was made as a human in CAS but made to be a playable ghost after natural death
  • there are other household members
  • I have multiple played households in this save
  • I have testingcheats on but I have not cheated to complete the aspirations, all were completed legitimately through normal gameplay
  • no mods or CC

    It seems there are multiple achievement-related problems with this save. Just now, I didn't unlock the achievement for maxing the mischief skill for the first time.

    Technically, the achievement for maxing every single skill for the first time should have been unlocked when I maxed the mischief skill, but it didn't happen because of the achievement glitch with the mischief skill...

    Did you manage to get the trophy in the end? And if so, how did you do it?

  • If you have testing cheats enabled it will stop you from getting any achievements 

  • Hello there! I'm having the same exact problem as well. A few years ago, I maxed out my Sim's mischief, which did not trigger the achievement. Unfortunately, I tried again this year and it still didn't work. Lmk if you have any updates!

    Over-Achiever Achievement
    On PC via EA app
    What happen: When my Sim completed 5th Aspiration, no pop-up and Over-Achiever Achievement was not unlocked.
    I always play with testing cheats on, and can get this Achievement until this time. Several other achievements have been unlocked, so it is unlikely that using the testing cheat is affecting play on PC.
