Previously unlocked achievements notifying again in batches

First off I want to say that I am unsure whether achievements are per household or per save. I would hope they were per EA account since saves can be corrupted and lost. Anyhow, I am playing on PC with fresh game installation,  no mods or cc.  Achievements that have already been earned in other households keep popping up in groups for achievements that were already earned and also at inappropriate times when the achievement has nothing to do with what my sims are doing. It seems random when they will pop up but it is consistent across the households in this save. It also happens in new saves in which I only have one household. 

As you can see my sims are all in bed when the All Nighter achievement popped. This was already earned in another household in same save.

"What Would It Be Like" achievement already earned in a different household and this is the second time it has popped up for this current household.

My sims were chatting in their bathroom when Host With the Most popped up. They have not held any social events at all. 

Introvert Achievement popped and I had my sim out introducing her to other sims for the Friend of the World aspiration. 

Rosebud Achievement had popped earlier when I was in another house hold that started their household with 3 million simoleons and that was not a new household. Then it pops again while I was playing this current household who, as you can see, only have 27K simoleons. 

"Just Getting Started" achievement popped up and I have way more than 5 hours in the current household and probably at least 1000 hours in the game save.

  • I just logged in to play and Host With The Most achievement pops up and all my sim is doing is walking her dog.

    Her parents are at home and one is dancing and the other is on the computer.

    I believe the achievements are per save. So each save file can get the achievements.

    That is good to know. So that makes all this madness even more mad because it is all within the same game save. 😩

  • 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.
