If anyone is wondering why they got some and not others... I think the ones we got all in a row are the achievements that we couldn't feasibly get again. Anything that you can achieve from this moment on I think is still an attainable achievement.
(anyone else noticed that if you write achievement over and over you start to question whether or not you've spelled it correctly?) ;)
In general, you will get achievements for things you've already done if we were already tracking whatever it was. If we weren't tracking it before, then you have to start from scratch.
And a few of the the house related achievements might not trigger until you visit both your home street and your house.
gee thanks - it's nice to get new badges but I worked really hard breaking & repairing those those 251 kitchen tools & now the badge disappeared. do I dare hope it is just a bug?
