I have been trying to complete the "For the Hoard!" achievement. In the achievements window, it says I have completed 14/15 collections. But, my Sim has completed the following:
1. Frogs
2. Gardening
3. MySims Trophies
4. Metals
5. Crystals
6. Elements
7. Postcards
8. Fossils
9. Microscope Prints
10. Space Prints
11. Aliens
12. Space Rocks
13. Fish
14. Insects
15. Geodes
16. Magic Beans
Am I just missing one of the required ones for this achievement? Or is the game not recognizing this achievement?
I do not use any mods. I just backed up/reset my game. I have also just attempted the repair option in Origin - all to no avail.
I have the following expansion/game/stuff packs:
-Discovery University
-Get Famous
-Seasons
-Cats & Dogs
-City Living
-Get Together
-Get to Work
-Parenthood
-Dine Out
-Spa Day
-Outdoor Retreat
-Tiny Living
-My First Pet
-Laundry Day
-Fitness
-Vintage Glamour
-Movie Hangout
-Cool Kitchen
-Holiday Celebration
-Grim's Ghoulish Guitar
Any guidance is appreciated! I REALLY don't want to do all these over again.

That is a difficult achievement that I have only rarely completed.
Most of the existing achievements are base game related.
A while ago I made myself a spreadsheet for an easy reference to different game features etc.
These collections should be counted towards the For the Hoard Achievement.
Base Game
Crystals
Elements
Fish
Fossils
Frogs
Gardening
Metals
Microscope Prints
MySims Trophies
Postcards
Space Prints
Space Rocks
Special Events
Decorative Eggs
Magic Beans
Positivity Posters
Sugar Skulls

So basically we can not do this acheivement if we were not here for those events? I tried using the object cheat only to find out that it actually does not work anymore. This is so frustrating, what a waste of time all that collecting was.

The game decided it was happy once I completed the city poster collection. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks, @EuphorialQueen!

All is not lost for the event items.
Special Event Items:
Decorative Eggs, Magic Beans, Positivity Posters and Sugar Skulls
These items are all in the debug menu.
The cheat bb.showhiddenobjects and sort by debug allows you to find all these items.
For console users that prefer not to use cheats (some cheats with interfere with achievements) these items have been shared on the gallery.
Gallery user @mcrudd has a wonderful variety of rooms of collectibles.
You can also find collections shared as rooms by @SheriGR and myself @EuphorialQueen on the gallery.

Thank you. I was able to get them through the debug mode all except the positivity posters but ended up getting the acheivement without those anyways, the one I was missing was the City Posters like the OP so thank you for the information. Now my game wont launch though because of the aggravating 134 error that EA is not fixing. At least I was able to get the acheievment before it messed up though.
