EA explain yourself, why the outright lies?

What exactly is the deal with some of the impossible achievements? Why do you even come up with this stuff if it is patently impossible to achieve?
The game culls dead sims, even living ones once every sim week and all sims over the magic 180 just disappear into thin air. Even your legacy sims.
I have played the same sim family since the game was released last year, and I know im at least 10 generations down the line now, at least. But as far as the family tree goes there is just 4 generations because your game engine culls all the old relationships.
And yet in your achievements there is this
and this
So why do you do this stuff? why do you on the one hand make it LOOK as though its possible to play a generational family, when it clearly is NOT possible to keep a family tree going for more than 4 or 5 generations?
Why do you make these promises? A 100 generation family??? how many sims do you think there will be in a 100 generation family?? each generation has to consist of at least 2 sims, so that's 200 sims, yet your game wont allow more than 180. And that's assuming there are NO other sims whatsoever in the game.
Before anyone points out there is a no cull mod, yes I know about it Ive used it to great success until a patch broke it and deleted more than half my family tree. BUT Ea are making promises that only the use of mods can keep. why do they do this?

We shouldn't be supposed to use mods to play the way we want.
Just saying, EA.

Hope that clears things up.
Wooowww an achievement specifically for legacies but it's impossible to achieve the plumming achievement. I'm getting sick of this mess.

Thank you @MDianaSanders for halloween-fying Golluma
Does it start to slow the game down if you have over 180 sims?
I would like to bring forth a comment that was made earlier in this thread by one of my colleagues!
This message was meant to answer your questions/concerns revolving around the achievements, and how you are expected to achieve them! We just wanted to point this post out, as it was somewhat ignored and the conversation about the achievements continued.
Thanks! Hope this clears things up and makes sense to everyone!
But the OP was about the game culling over 7 generations of her sims. Where is an answer about that?? We are being ignored too.
@SimGuruEugi If I may ask, considering the numbers released during the Woohoo Weekend alongside the amount of successful conceiving woohoos that are applied in those above goals, were those achievements ever registered as completed during that time? I imagine it would have been a perfectly valid time for those to be completed.

I finally installed the No Culling mod, even though I didn't want to, because I was tired of my scientist going back to work and finding an entire new group of co-workers (as well as the headstone of the one guy who died of old age at work being blank). Having to go through the introduction process before being able to ask for a metal or crystal or to test a serum took a lot of time out of his workday.

I really feel like my time and money means nothing if I cannot even get someone to respond to problems I have had, when gurus seem to answer everyone else's questions.
The achievements still work for me, so I think they're possible.
I don't have those numbers, sorry. I'm on the engineering team, and we don't have a lot of visibility into that kind of things. I'll ask @SimGuruBChick .
Valid answer. Thank you for your time, sir.
WAIT... @SimGuruBChick is back?!

Hello,
The original topic of this thread was concerning the culling of generations by the game, and how the OP thought that would affect their ability to accomplish the achievements listed in their post.
I will however encourage a thread be created in the "Ideas Corner" for the removal of generations culling, as of right now the game and the culling of generations as far as I know is working correctly, therefore any wanted changes to this system should be brought up in the ideas section
Hope this answers your questions! I just wanted to bring attention to the answer being given by one of my colleagues!
Have a great day!
Have you gotten the 30 grandchildren one RECENTLY? It is the only one I can not get, and have done it multiple times, every way I can find online people have been successful at it. In every try I quit around 50 grandchildren. I have been in the TS3 general and bug forums, and on the other EA report site, and have come up completely empty.
I haven't got to that point yet, but I basically do my own culling -- households with only 1 Elder that my Sims haven't had contact with get deleted, sometimes those with just singles if I need more families. I'll often evict Sims that are taking up a big house with just one Sim and move in a family instead. I moved the BFFs to another house to use their lot for a house I downloaded from the Gallery that my Sims are going to move to as soon as they get the money. One thing I do appreciate about Sims 4 over Sims 3 is that it's easier to delete families without messing up the game.
