    I have noticed that they dont list every single thing that is fixed in patch notes. Not sure why. People will keep complaining about stuff being broke because they dont know it was already fixed. Whining without a purpose is so anoying lol! I believe that the glitch in grafting was fixed but never mentioned so what else is as well? Are they afraid that if they list all the details people wont read it? They should at least consider attaching a link with the complete list of fixes.

    Why did you have to repair your game? And why?

    Thank you for this thread, I wondered why I got a message when I played for 5 hours. Although I've played over 25 I'm total and I didn't get an achievement for that.

    I've noticed that these 3 achievements only counts the live mode hours, if you spend time on CAS or building something will not count :\

    Why did you have to repair your game? And why?

    I actually dont remember why I did it. Sorry. I need to learn more about that feature and what exactly it does and does not do. Sounds like a good question for a tech forum, though I will probably do a search first.

    Sadly devs seem not to care about achievements at all, I've brought them up in devs chatty thread twice and reported bugged ones on EA answers HQ.

    Keep in mind that Sims 4 achievements are (currently) not Origin achievements so you can't show them to your friends. Guess why am I currently playing Dragon Age 3 like crazy.

    Did you try this out yet?

    No sorry.
    I'm playing Dragon Age Inquisition currently and not returning to Sims till they patch it properly (which includes broken achievements).

    When I started my game after the December update,
    I got this one > Event Horizon
    - Earn a Silver rating on every social event

    But I didn't got this one > The Main Event
    - Earn a Gold rating on every social event

    It says 5/8, I don't have the black and white party and the other one, so we have a new (christmas?) party? But I don't understand why I got the silver one xD

    Maybe it also counts the date as a social event (although I still count that as 7 different types, with the black-and-white bash and the incognito party).

    Dates are social events, yes.
    Remember that these two achievements in the release version were de facto pay2win achievements, you couldn't get them without deluxe edition.

    Dunno what they changed with the recent update. Since they still didn't make achievements per Origin user and not savegame (if they did, it's not listed in changelog), I didn't even bother to start Sims 4 past few days and god knows when or if I'll ever return to it.

    I got the Event Horizon too, and there are several party types I haven't even held (haven't done a House Party for example). I need to build my Sims their party house now that they're both at the top of their careers and have lots of time off, but I may wait till their last kid moves out of the house so I can only have one bedroom. Bottom floor will be all the items for partying, top floor will have the study/art studio/den/workout room but I'm going to try and have all that behind a door I can remove before the party so no one can get up there so everyone has to stay downstairs.

    Load the game then it's available in options. You can't see them outside of the game, don't ask me why, Sims 4 is one rare Origin exclusive that doesn't have achievements on Origin.

    I got 3.655 achievement points. This includes all non-bugged goals and the new outdoor retreat achievements. I can confirm that 50x NPC woohoo is fixed. But killing NPC's still doesn't count for the Old Lace badge.
    Did anyone get the 400 babies achievement yet?
    My achievement savegame gets really laggy and I think I'm half way (what a shame there's no counter for the number of babies) and I would really like a confirmation if this badge isn't bugged.

    Not me sorry, my game got broken while I was chasing that one. I did about 100 babies but then I couldn't save the game any more, it started to crash on save. :(
    Sadly, achievements are (still) savegame based otherwise I'd start a new game just for babies achievement.

    I somehow like it that I can start achievements again in a new savegame .... (because I achieved most in the current one).
    But the 400 babies indeed gets frustrating because all got too laggy in the savegame with all achieved.
    I think it's inventory that bugs it. Like it did in Sims3 .. too much inventory is too much lag.

    Did you try to rename the current game map (electronic arts/the sims4) p.e backup Sims4? The game will make a new map and you can transfer the savegame file to the new one (/saves - the savegames) and (/tray - this contains the families). The achievement points will transfer with it. I did and it worked fine.
