You can self-boost this achievement with an alternate account. Take 10 photos and download 10 times with an alternate account. Since Gold is now shared across the console it should be easy.

Edit per scuzzybunny: It appears that multiple downloads by the same account will count. Just back out of the photo gallery, go back in and search and dowload again. The reason it may appear that this does not work is there is a delay on these views propagating to you account. With that in mind you may want to just take 10 pictures and use 1 alternate account to download the set 10 times.

so i really need to create 50 different account?

By L0RDXFLACK0 on 28 Nov 2013 01:32

No.. take 50 pics

By pompeyladbfp on 28 Nov 2013 01:37

brilliant solution :)

By the games masta on 28 Nov 2013 08:15

You can't get banned for this can you? I hope not.

By Hanx on 29 Nov 2013 17:32

Wow, GREAT solution, thanks! :)

By R3DH4MM3R on 01 Dec 2013 07:53

Multiple downloads by the same account DO COUNT. We've done it three times today...Account 1 puts up pictures (say 10), account 2 downloads the 10, backs out to the title screen (orange P1 press A screen), loads game back up, searches, downloads the 10 again, repeat 8 more times. There is some delay on the achv popping, but generally in under an hour you will have your 50 and 100 downloads and the badges/titles for each. The # of downloads sits at 1, but the popularity rating (stars) increases, and of course the one thing that matters is that the achv pops!!

By ScuzzyBunny on 03 Dec 2013 05:08

I confirm about ScuzzyBunny that said in previous comment. Cheevo pooped for me and my bro! :)

By Centurion 47th on 03 Dec 2013 09:06

Ahh the delay may explain my belief that multiple downloads don't count. I attempted to use an alternate account to do 10x10 and they didn't show or pop the achievement. I'll edit accordingly.

By EngineerJared on 03 Dec 2013 12:02

Agree with Scuzzy, I have noooo clue how I got my achievement,
I have 4 photos with 8 downloads each.. Yet I got my 50 and 100 download achievement today??

By TrueKilla360 on 05 Dec 2013 03:45

i think i've found a glitch in the system f you follow yourself as in follow creator viewing your own pics will count as a download bleep bloop achievement unlocked no 2nd account needed :)

By GMN on 06 Dec 2013 00:16

how can i view my picture from follow creator? im following myself, but i cant find where to go, to look directly at my pic!

By L0RDXFLACK0 on 06 Dec 2013 02:58

by going to my gallery at the right of forza tv

By GMN on 06 Dec 2013 11:15

For those of us that are stupid... How do you take a picture?

By Solray on 07 Dec 2013 13:52

In single player you can pause the game and enter photo mode or you can enter photo mode from forzavista.

By EngineerJared on 07 Dec 2013 14:34

Think im confusing myself so apologies if this is obvious. Do i take 100 photos on my account then switch to my backup account and download them? Or can i take 1 pic and download it 100 times on the backup account

By Rich3I6 on 08 Dec 2013 22:22

It appears that either method will work.

By EngineerJared on 08 Dec 2013 22:28

Where can i check to see how many downloads i have

By Rich3I6 on 08 Dec 2013 22:40

On your home screen (not you garage) is photo gallery. You can see the downloads in there.

By EngineerJared on 09 Dec 2013 00:45

Yeah there's definitely a delay. It took an hour or so for it to pop for me after downloading them.

By EngineerJared on 11 Dec 2013 00:30

Hopefully it'll work for me, still haven't gotten this :(

By ABeezy1388 on 11 Dec 2013 02:39

Did the 10x10 method with only one spare account and nothing popped immediately. Went to bed, and as soon as I signed in the next day it popped instantly. Definitely is some delay, so just be patient! :)

By on 14 Dec 2013 17:37

I just took some of designs I made to show to my Facebook friends and people must have been checking them out because I didn't even have to look at any of my pictures, too bad it isn't that easy with earning credits for designs and tuning

By Chakaal Starr on 30 Dec 2013 08:42

@ Gorgoleon Not positive but just a thought I know for the tunes/designs there is a day cycle in Forza ending at 7pm eastern I believe. Possibly you downloaded some on one forza day and the rest on a second forza day. If this were the case you will need to wait an extra 24 hours for the second set to register possibly.

By CHERRY CHEERIOS on 03 Jan 2014 15:06

I think you very well could be right. It took a full 24 hours to get the 50, then I decided to retry another 50 and they unlocked today. Strange but I got there in the end. Many thanks Cherry Cheerios and to all who've posted about this cheev.

By The Red Spider on 05 Jan 2014 20:24

FWIW I got the one for 50 downloads yesterday without doing anything. I only have 2 photos which I took when I was messing around. It says they only have like 10 views each in game. But slowly, the completion % has been going up in the Achievements app. So if you might wanna just take a few photos early on and leave downloading them yourself till near when you complete the game?

By ukBp Roy on 06 Jan 2014 11:13

Do you start a new game with another profile to get to the main menu to download your own photos from your main profile?

By C3LLDW3LLER on 16 Jan 2014 20:20

how do you take a picture and upload it so you can download it on your other account?

By NINJA SHADOW06 on 21 Feb 2014 03:30

I followed that step by step and got nothing. I have 1 DL on each of my pics except one which has 2.
Any ideas?

By F1SH M0NG3R on 12 Mar 2014 17:29

Maybe it's patched because after a couple of hours, I have the same problem as F1DH ^

By JACK LAYT0N on 30 Mar 2014 23:29

Update, I went on again and the cheevo popped for 50 but still not 100.

By F1SH M0NG3R on 04 Apr 2014 12:42

I did this two days ago, but the photos still show 1 download each and no cheevo has popped. Could this have been patched since the Long Beach update?

By OneShotMoofles on 02 May 2014 19:47

I did the same thing as OneShotMoofles. No Achievement.

By firehazardcs on 03 May 2014 17:31

I did this last night and it worked. I had to wait about 2 hours for the 50 downloads one, & then when I turned it on this morning the 100 DL achievement was at like 70%. I quit out of the game and went back into the game 3 times. Each time it raised the percentage by 10%. Now where it was last night when I downloaded them I guess enough time has passed for them to be downloaded by different people but doubt it. Also each of my photos still show only 1 download.

By Tinkham11 on 08 May 2014 13:38

I did this step by step and when I went back on my main account I saw that my progress went up 10 percent. So, I backed out to the title screen and re-entered. 20 percent. Oh, so I did it 3 more times and POP. 50 downloads. After 5 more exits..POP 100. I didn't wait hours or anything just backed to the title screen and entered game..ten times.

By Shand Alk3 on 10 Jun 2014 06:46

Was getting frustrated by this, then read the comments ... what Shand Alk3 posted worked for me. I did the 10 * 10 downloads on another account and saw progress going nowhere. Did loaded up the achievements app and then did the cycle of start forza, press A, press B to get back to title screen, return to achievements app to see +10% progress.

hmm, thanks for the update - i have the new acct (profile) set up, have gone to download the pics - done this once, backed out to the main page (orange) 5 times and the 50 achievement hasn't popped :|

By Iron Man TStark on 07 Jul 2014 18:56

50 achievement popped! - on to the 100 one now

By Iron Man TStark on 07 Jul 2014 20:56

and that popped about a day later haha!! - +1 for the guide

By Iron Man TStark on 09 Jul 2014 21:08

for me the 50 photos achievement popped up 1 day later and the 100 photos 2 days later ... so sometimes the counter needs its time

By andiosterfeld on 13 Sep 2014 09:42

I can confirm this still works sept. 2015 no patch

By Mr Nye Sky on 06 Sep 2015 13:12

Didn't even have to download 100 times. I downloaded 10 pictures 5 times each and my counter just kept going up when exiting and reentering from my main account. Easy.

By on 11 Nov 2016 21:25

IfIsF1Backwards....do as he said in his comments, worked for me, back out press a, so from main menu what you do is press A press B until both achievement unlocked

By ForcefulOliver2 on 11 Sep 2017 05:28

This solution needs to be updated. There's a lot in the comments that should be reflected. I think a quick note on how to take photos in the first place should be part of the solution as well. The backing out to the main menu and reentering thing needs to be put in as well. There's no actual delay if you don't want there to be.

Also, does anyone know if you need to actually get the message "downloading" for it to count? When I was on my dummy account, I would search for my main account, download each picture once, back out, and search again. Is it sufficient to view each photo 10 times after searching just once?

By Octobot Super on 10 Nov 2017 12:06

Too easy ...
Take 10 pictures, watch them thought Forza hub.
Next go to the main menu when you press A to load the game. You can put the process bar and you'll see each time it load, you get progress. Do B then A 10 times and you have 2 more easy achievements

By ParadoxReal8 on 22 May 2018 03:36

Same thing happened to me with the "going back in" situation. I kept track of how many downloads I did with my dummy GT, so when I saw that all of my photos had 1 download each, I read the comments here. Backing out to the splash screen with the P1 and then simply entering the main menu again and again progressed both achievements and both of them unlocked.

By Anima Pura on 03 Jan 2019 20:14

Still works as of today. Took 10 pics with my main account, then switched to my alt account. I would search for the creator (myself) and download the 10 pics. I backed out to the main menu and repeated this. I know others mentioned the alt needs to go back to the splash screen, but that didn't work for me. I did that process with my main account instead after I noticed the percentage went up 10% every time I launched the game and it popped after the 10th time I did it.

By iTz Canada Ehh on 08 Nov 2020 17:04

VIEWING YOUR OWN PICTURES COUNTS! Just take 10 different pics, save them, then go to your gallery and click on each one and select "load" on each one. Then go back to the loading screen with the orange McLaren and press A to enter back into the game. Each time you do this you will get 10% progress. Repeat 9 more times for the achievement. No alt needed.

By DoomScott on 23 Jun 2023 14:04

Just to add to DoomScotts comment: This works 100%, but you don't have to take 10 pictures. You can use the same picture over and over. Simply open & close ONE picture 10 times, then back out to the main menu, and enter back into the game, and rinse & repeat.

You can't do it more than 10 times before going back to the main menu, I can confirm. 10 at a time, but you can do it with only 1 picture to make it easier than going through 10 different photos.

👍🏾

I can't get this to work, although I have had two other achievements not work in this game. My tracker isn't going up at all. I have taken a photo and saved it. Gone into gallery and viewed it 10 times, backed out to the orange mclaren screen then gone back in and repeated 12 times now and neither the 50 or 100 have popped. still says 0 downloads on the photo. I tried to switch to doomscotts method but it wouldn't let me share it to search by my alt. Am I doing something wrong or does this game really not like me

By Philyokwan79 on 30 Aug 2023 09:36

Perhaps I could get a little help on this - I think I must be doing something wrong.

I took ten photos of a Ford 2000 Mustang with my main profile. I then used my wifes profile to download those photos, one after another. (Going into gallery and choosing Ford/Mustang etc) Once that set of ten had been downloaded I backed out all the way to the Orange P1 Mclaren and then repeated the process another 9 times. I logged back in on my main account an hour later and there was nothing. I then logged in the next day and still nothing. Obviously I'm missing something - apologies if I'm being a tool but can anyone help?

By The Red Spider on 03 Jan 2014 11:02

Backing out of the photo gallery with my spare profile did not work for me, but multiple downloads from the same spare account did.

I had to back out to the title screen (orange P1 press A screen), sign in with my real profile, start the game, back out to title, sign in with my spare profile, and download each of my photos. I had 10 photos, so I had to repeat 10 times. After that, the achievement popped immediately when I started the game with my real profile.

Under Settings for Power, I have the beta save game state feature turned on, which may be why I had to sign out before my next download pass would count. I didn't test what happened if I skipped starting the game with my real profile, and just swapped sign-in from the home screen.

By Ironspleen on 05 Dec 2013 16:26

I just tired this both ways.... like N0BLE360 said following yourself and then making a second dummy accounts. I didn't pop for me... It only says "1 download" on each of my 10 pics... May take a few hours?

By ABeezy1388 on 11 Dec 2013 00:24

Thanks Jack I tried that, created the profile, but it kept saying that the controller was disconnected when it wasn't!

So I create the profile, launch the game and search for my main acct?

By Iron Man TStark on 07 Jul 2014 18:11

Shand alk3 had it down well! 10 photos with main account, secondary account, search for your main account under "forza gallery".. I downloaded each of them.. Backed out only once, back into F.G, download til you count 100.. Instead of waiting hours, go to your main account.. Go into the hub as normal.. Back out into the orange mclaren with press a to start.. Rinse and repeat til ach unlocks :)

This is an alternative solution to using the dummy account, you will only need to download Forza Hub app on your console or you can access Forza Hub from your PC browser.

I have unlocked this achievement by viewing my own pictures on Forza Hub, it will count a download every time you view your pictures (at least one instance). Sometimes when you close the Forza Hub fully an reopen it will count the views/downloads again.

Basically, I made a bunch of pics (around 20) and daily went to Forza Hub and viewed my own pics to unlock this achievement.

This is the solution I used to get this. One helpful thing you may want to add is that after you view your pictures in the Forza Hub app, load up Forza 5 and press A to enter the game. Once you're in the game, hit B to go back to the title screen, then press A to enter the game again. Every time you back out to the title screen and re-enter the game, your progress for this achievement goes up, so I got this by simply entering and exiting the title screen 10 times after viewing my 10 photos on the app.

By VictimOfDesire on 27 Jun 2018 01:27

I can confirm VictimOfDesire's tip! Thanks!

By ightribl on 16 Jul 2018 21:10

Thanks for helping on this. You might want to add that you need to favourite/like your photo. Only worked on console app for me. Otherwise like a breeze!!

By R1DD3R5 on 14 Apr 2020 09:49

July 2020: take 10 pics > close game > like pictures on console Forza Hub App > left app open and opened Forza 5 > hit A 3 times (start screen, career, skip cutscene) > back to main menu > repeat last 2 steps 10 times (for 10 pics)

By tonyx on 12 Jul 2020 13:08

I have tried both ways mentioned on this solution and neither have worked for me as of September 1, 2020

As of 31-January-2021, this is how I unlocked it - no dummy accounts or other people needed. Takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on how many pictures you take.

Don't be intimidated by the length of the guide - this is really one of the easiest online achievements you will unlock in these games.

1) Install the Forza Hub app on your Xbox (if you don't already have it, then you're missing out on free credits each week). Go through the setup and make sure it's synced to your account. (Some guides say you can install it on your computer, but there seems to be issues with delays and views not counting when done this way.)
2) Open Forza 5. Start a race. Pause the game and select Photo Mode.
3) Start taking pictures. The more pictures you take, the less time it will take to unlock. Taking 20 means you only have to go through steps 6-11 five times.
4) Save each picture to your Xbox. The second Save box is the Share box - it will prompt you to enter a description, whatever you put doesn't matter. You also don't have to put anything in to help you find your pictures - just save, share and move on to the next one.
5) Once you are done, close out of Forza 5 COMPLETELY (home screen, start, close game fully). It's VITAL that you close out completely each time you exit the game, not just go to the home screen.
6) Open the Forza Hub app. Go to the Gallery tab. Select "My Pictures" in the bottom right.
7) Open the first picture you took (if you took pictures in other Forza games, select Forza 5 in the dropdown box at the top to filter them out). Once it loads, move to the next one. Do this for each picture you took. Each view, REGARDLESS OF WHO VIEWS IT, counts as a "download" here....I don't know why Turn 10 called it a download instead of a view in the achievement.
8) Close out of the Forza Hub app completely (some guides say to keep it open, I closed it just to be safe, I suggest you do the same).
9) Open Forza 5. Go through the intro screens to get to the Main Menu.
10) Check your achievement status. If you took 20 pictures, then you should be 20% of the way through Gone Viral and 40% through New Wallpaper.
11) Close out of Forza 5 completely. Repeat 6-11 until achievement pops.

If it isn't popping or showing any progression, then check your network status - sometimes there's a bit of delay between the Hub and the game.
