The Sims 4 Guide › Achievements

Sim Feats

All Nighter

Requirement: Have a Sim stay awake for 24 straight Sim hours.

Reward: 25 points

Be sure to have your Sim get a good night’s rest and then avoid doing strenuous activities such as working out when you go for this Achievement. If you have to work, be sure to take it easy. Try to keep your other needs met so that fatigue is the only thing bringing down your Sim’s mood.

Basketcase

Requirement: Have a Sim get in and out of all primary emotional states within 24 Sim hours.

Reward: 50 points

This takes some planning. Attempt this on a day your Sim doesn’t have to go to work and start off with positive emotions. The best way to end is with a break up with a girlfriend or boyfriend to get the Sad emotion. Try earning this Achievement at the same time you do the All Nighter.

Channel Surfer

Requirement: Have a Sim listen to all the radio stations and watch all TV channels.

Reward: 10 points

Get a radio and a television and then just select each of the stations and channels to earn this Achievement.

I’ll Get Around to It

Requirement: Have 10 broken objects on your Sim’s lot.

Reward: 10 points.

To get this achievement, just let objects stay broken when they break down. In fact, purchase objects that are not very reliable to help ensure they break down.>

Introvert

Requirement: Have a Sim do nothing social for 24 Sim hours.

Reward: 50 points

This is not that tough. You just have to watch your Sim and make sure they don’t try to socialize on their own. Stay at home and put your cell phone on silent. If your Sim goes to work, be sure to work hard and avoid the socializing options. Also be sure to go to bed early and sleep for a long time.

My, You’ve Changed!

Requirement: Have a Sim become both max thin and fat within a lifetime.

Reward: 25 points

It is easier to start out as thin as possible and then have your Sim eat a lot while avoiding any physical activity.

Older and Wiser

Requirement: Have a Sim age up.

Reward: 10 points

Just keep playing. Your Sim will eventually have a birthday and age up automatically. No special effort needed here.

On a Whim

Requirement: Have a Sim complete 10 whims at a single social event.

Reward: 25 points

While at a social event, focus on the whims. If there is one that you can’t do easily, click on it to remove it so another—and hopefully easier—one will appear.

Over-Achiever

Requirement: Have a Sim complete 5 Aspirations.

Reward: 100 points

This is a tough one to achieve. You have to focus almost entirely on your Aspirations. Complete your first Aspiration, the select a second and so forth. This can be tough to achieve in a single lifetime unless you really work on those Aspirations.

The Circle of Life

Requirement: Play a Sim from birth to natural death.

Reward: 25 points

Start off with a couple and have a baby. Then play that baby all the way until he or she dies from old age. You can work on this Achievement while progressing toward other Achievements.

The Most Interesting Sim in the World

Requirement: Have a Sim with 12 or more traits.

Reward: 50 points

Earn new traits when you complete Aspirations as well as when your Sim ages up from baby to child to teen and then to adult. The best way to earn this Achievement is to work on it along with Over-Achiever. Each time you complete an Aspiration and select a new one, you get some new traits as well.

Triple Play

Requirement: Have a Sim give birth to triplets.

Reward: 50 points

This Achievement requires luck and chance. Try having a baby with your female Sims until they have triplets. The Fertile trait (which can be purchased with Satisfaction Points at the Rewards Store) can increase your odds.

What Makes a Sim Turn Neutral?

Requirement: Have a Sim stay in the Fine emotion for 48 straight Sim hours.

Reward: 25 points.

This is another tough achievement to get. You have to keep your Sim’s needs in the green or yellow range, not have them interact with other Sims, and have an environment that does not provide moodlets. In fact, you have to avoid all moodlets that you can.

What Are Your Options?

Choices in the Gameplay Options menu can help you accomplish certain Achievements. If you are trying to starve a Sim for Vengeful Deity, or going for an All Nighter, disable autonomy for that Sim. That way, they won’t sneak in an action that you don’t want. For other Achievements, tinker with the Lifespan settings. For example, a longer lifespan would be a big help for Over-Achiever or other Achievements that require lots of time, while shorter lifespans will give you a boost for ones such as Older and Wiser or Circle of Life.
