Microtransaction Simulator Achievement Guide

A screenshot from the Microtransaction Simulator game.

As a fan of free Steam games, I recently played through Microtransaction Simulator, following up on my experience with Loading Screen Simulator. Since these free games usually offer an easy 100% achievement playthrough, I thought I’d share a detailed guide to help you unlock every achievement in Microtransaction Simulator. Let’s dive right in!

Shop Upgrade Purchases Achievements (6 Total)

Shop screen.
To unlock these achievements buy upgrades from the Shop.

Unlock these by purchasing upgrades in the Shop, where you can spend your money. There are 6 upgrades to buy:

  • The Year is 20xx – Purchase the Meaningless upgrade.
  • Tricks are for Kids – Purchase the Card Trick upgrade.
  • The House Always Wins – Purchase the SCOG Lotto upgrade.
  • Schooled – Purchase the Architect upgrade.

For the remaining achievements, you’ll need to modify the game’s code by accessing the catch.gd file located in:

SteamLibrary > SteamApps > Common > Microtransaction_Simulator

Use Notepad++ to edit the file. Here’s how to unlock each one:

  • Brick Your Game (Intentionally) – Open the catch.gd file, delete everything inside, and set the file to “Read-Only”. After saving, start the game to earn this achievement.
Code change needed to unlock the Impossible achievement in Microtransaction Simulator.
This is the sequence for the 40k impossible achievement
  • Impossible – ‘Open’ a pack that has a total value of 40,000. To do this, change the values of the last pack opened in the catch.gd file (see pic above). totalCardOpenValue must match the total of the four totalValue entries below.
Code change needed to unlock Mighty Number 9 achievement in Microtransaction Simulator.
This is the sequence for the Mighty Number 9 achievement
  • Mighty Number 9 – ‘Open’ a pack that has four of the same repeating numbers. To do this you need to change some more code. Change your code to look like the pic above.

Microtransaction Simulator is a fun and simple game to 100%, and the best part is, it’s free! If you’re looking for similar games, check out our Press Any Key guide for another free achievement-hunting experience.
