This save is 3 generations of scored legacy play, so there have been a lot of achievements unlocked already.

 

I had a sim get a promotion (blue popup) & it launched the centre screen sparkle notification (& green wall notifications) for 5 achievements that had already been unlocked in this save.

 

Then later I had a blue popup regarding the NAP voting closing & it triggered another shower of sparkle notifications & green notifications for multiple achievements long since achieved & previously notified as unlocked.

 

There was another time it happened straight after loading into the save & unpausing.

 

This is all from the same save, but that's also the only one I have installed at the moment with long-term gameplay
(I've done a repair game between incidents too)

I forked off a version of a 25-generation save, and got spammed with notifications after exiting the game and reopening the original save. Some achievements were re-locked, like Special Delivery. There was an alien baby in this household not 4 generations previously. Career achievements that long-dead sims from this household completed have been re-locked as well.

I am on Wednesday of the 15th week of my save. I got the 'just getting started' achievement (playing for 4 hours) again. Earlier today, I received the achievements that a sim had maxed handiness and that a sim had stayed awake for 24 hours (or maybe had done nothing social for 24 hours). The other is always one of the first I unlock, and there is no way I could go over 15 weeks in game without doing it if I tried. I have 2 sims in this household that have maxed handiness, and neither did it today. Discover 10 aliens is now locked, with progress 2/10. There are 3 aliens IN THE HOUSEHOLD. I've been doing save-as all throughout this save, because I'm playing the new career from dream home decorator and it's very buggy.

Update: I did a folder refresh and repaired my game. Even if I go back to my oldest version of this save file, the achievements are reset. It still says that 2 aliens have been discovered with 3 (undisguised) aliens in the household. My sims met 10 aliens before any of these aliens were conceived.
