Crime Simulator Achievement Guide Part 1: Easy to Medium Achievements

Jun 9, 2026

Crime Simulator has 60 Steam achievements total. About half of them come naturally through normal gameplay. This guide covers the 30 easiest achievements you can get in your first 10 hours.

How Achievement Hunting Works

Crime Simulator tracks achievements across all save files and game modes. You do not need 100% achievements in a single run. Use Completionist mode for hunting -- it removes quota pressure and lets you take all the time you need.

Key Achievement Categories

Category	Count	Difficulty
Tutorial/Introduction	5	Very Easy
Progression (rank-based)	10	Easy
Collection (items/loot)	8	Medium
Skill (leaflet-based)	7	Medium
Challenge (special conditions)	30	Hard to Very Hard

Tutorial Achievements (5)

These are obtained simply by completing the tutorial.

Achievement	Requirement	Notes
Understood?	Complete the tutorial	Unskippable, takes about 5 minutes
Money maker	Make $5,000 total	Earned naturally within first few runs
Apprentice	Reach Rank 4	Tutorial completion usually gives Rank 1-2
First score	Sell your first item	Use the crowbar and fence any item
Tool user	Use any tool for the first time	Equip and use the crowbar

Progression Achievements (10)

These track your career milestones across all game modes.

Achievement	Requirement	Estimated Time
Apprentice thief	Steal 25 items in one session	About 3-5 house runs
Master thief	Steal 100 items in one session	About 10-12 house runs
Rank climber	Reach Rank 4	About 3-5 quota cycles
Professional	Reach Rank 6	About 8-12 quota cycles
Insane victory	Complete 5 challenges in one game	Takes planning -- stack easy challenges
Master challenger	Complete 10 challenges in one game	Requires efficient routing
First arrest	Get arrested once	Deliberately fail an escape (do this early)
Escape artist	Escape police 3 times	Natural progression
Clean record	Complete 3 runs without arrest	Use safe houses only
Tool collector	Collect 10 unique tool types	Buy all available tools from the shop

For "Insane victory" and "Master challenger", plan your route to stack challenges. Challenges like "steal 5 electronics," "disable 2 alarms," and "open 3 locked doors" can be done in the same house. Save challenges for a large multi-room target.

Collection Achievements (8)

These require finding and selling or keeping specific items.

Achievement	Requirement	Tips
Item hoarder	Have 20 unique items in stash	Collect every item type you see
Junk collector	Sell 50 low-value items	Kitchen appliances and decorations count
Electronics expert	Sell 25 electronics	Laptops, phones, tablets, game consoles
Jewelry lover	Find 10 pieces of jewelry	Check bedroom dressers and safes
Safe cracker	Open 10 safes	Requires blowtorch -- prioritize safes
Lockpick master	Pick 50 locks	Natural progression across runs
Window shopper	Enter through windows 20 times	Use window entry whenever possible
Heavy lifter	Carry 10 items in one run	Max out your capacity per trip

Easy Skill Achievements (7)

These come from skill leaflet collection.

Achievement	Requirement	How to Get
Student	Learn your first skill	Open your first skill leaflet
Scholar	Learn 5 skills	Hunt leaflets in medium-security houses
Professor	Learn 10 skills	Requires late-game leaflet hunting
Skillful	Collect 3 duplicate leaflets	Sell 3 duplicate skill leaflets
Knowledge is power	Read 20 skill leaflets	Some leaflets are random drops
Jack of all trades	Learn one skill from each category	Requires diverse hunting
Specialized	Max out one skill tree	Invest all points in one category

Completionist mode is the best way to hunt these achievements. With no quota deadline, you can revisit houses after loot respawns and check every container for skill leaflets. Use the job board to identify houses with "special loot" indicators.

Strategy: Achievement Stacking

You can earn multiple achievements in a single well-planned run:

Choose a large house with multiple rooms
Enter through a window (Window shopper progress)
Pick all locked doors (Lockpick master progress)
Open the safe if present (Safe cracker progress)
Collect electronics and jewelry
Complete any active challenges during the run
Sell everything at the fence

This approach completes collection, tool usage, and progression achievements simultaneously.

Crime Simulator Achievement Guide Part 2: Hard Achievements

Jun 9, 2026

Some of these achievements require multiple playthroughs or very specific conditions. Do not attempt them until you have completed the game in Standard mode and understand all mechanics.

Challenge Achievements (15)

Challenges are optional objectives that appear during runs. Completing them in specific quantities unlocks these achievements.

Key "Challenges" Achievements

Achievement	Requirement	Difficulty
Insane victory	Complete 5 challenges in one game	Medium
Master challenger	Complete 10 challenges in one game	Hard
Challenge addict	Complete 25 challenges total	Medium
Speed demon	Complete 3 time-based challenges	Hard
Silent but deadly	Complete 3 stealth challenges	Medium
Heavy hitter	Complete 3 destruction challenges	Medium
All-rounder	Complete one of each challenge type	Very Hard

Challenge Types and How to Trigger

Challenge Type	Trigger Condition	Example
Time-based	Enter a house within a time limit	"Steal 3 items within 30 seconds"
Stealth	No detections during heist	"Complete house without being seen"
Destruction	Use force to enter	"Smash 3 windows in one heist"
Collection	Gather specific items	"Collect 5 electronics"
Tool mastery	Use specific tool set	"Open all doors with lockpicks"

For "All-rounder," use a large house with multiple approaches. The ground floor can be stealth, basement can be destruction, and upstairs can be time-based. One house can satisfy all challenge types.

Speed Achievements (5)

These have strict time requirements.

Achievement	Requirement	Strategy
Speed runner	Complete a heist under 2 minutes	Choose a small apartment, grab 2 items, exit immediately
Quick getaway	Escape police within 30 seconds	Trigger a minor alert near a hideout spot
Speed looter	Steal 5 items in under 1 minute	Pre-scout the house layout, sprint past everything
Rush hour	Complete 3 heists in under 30 minutes	Chain small houses back to back
Delivery of a lifetime	Complete an item request within 1 minute of receiving it	Keep the requested item in your inventory, accept the request, deliver immediately

For "Speed runner," use the starter tutorial area's nearest house. It is a small layout with minimal loot but maximum speed. Grab any 2 items and exit.

Rare Condition Achievements (10)

These require unusual circumstances.

Achievement	Requirement	How to Get
Lucky break	Find a rare item in a common container	Check every container -- rare items spawn randomly
Three and free	Escape from a 3-star police chase	Trigger max police alert, escape successfully
Ghost	Complete a heist without leaving any evidence	Use lockpicks, no broken windows, no knocked-out NPCs
Tool breaker	Break 10 tools total	Use lower-quality tools deliberately
Millionaire	Accumulate $1,000,000 total across all runs	Pure grind in late game
Untouchable	Go 10 runs without arrest	Play exclusively safe houses
Night owl	Complete 5 heists at night	Use the day-night cycle
Early bird	Complete 3 heists before the quota timer starts	Sprint through easy houses after each quota reset
Furniture collector	Buy 15 pieces of hideout furniture	Requires significant cash investment in non-essentials
Delivery service	Complete 25 item requests total	Regular item request completion

"Three and Free" Strategy

Deliberately trigger police attention (smash a window in front of a patrol car)
Let your wanted level climb to 3 stars
Break line of sight and hide in a closet or dumpster
Stay hidden until the search timer de-escalates
Escape the area without getting arrested

This is easier with the Driver role or any speed boost skill.

"Millionaire" is the grindiest achievement. At an estimated $2,000-$5,000 per hour in late-game, expect 40-60 hours of play. Completionist mode is recommended because uninterrupted heists are faster than quota-constrained ones.

Update 1.3 Achievements

Update 1.3 added several new achievements:

Achievement	Requirement	Notes
Gold fever	Smelt 10 gold bars	Requires gold bar collection and smelting
Jeweler	Appraise 10 jewelry pieces	Must distinguish authentic from fake
Dig deep	Fully upgrade the basement	Spend 18+ gold bars on all upgrades
PvP victor	Win 3 PvP competitions	Requires good tools and skill
Master key	Unlock the Master Key	Reach 1.3 content milestone
