How to unlock the Switch Hitter achievement in Saints Row IV - Definitive Guide

Switch Hitter: Play for at least 2 hours as a male character AND 2 hours as a female character.

Just play for two hours of one sex, then on the same save game/file switch to the opposite sex and play for another two hours. You can switch sexes at any moment for 500 of the simulation's currency at any Plastic Surgery installation, same place you upload your character to the servers for the Saintified achievement. It doesn't matter which sex you start with as long as you do the minimum 2 hours per gender.

Note: You may have to complete a hack the store minigame to gain access to the Plastic Surgery building, depending on which one you choose to go to. It's a very easy minigame where you use the allotted pieces on the right side of the screen to link the point on the left side of the puzzle to the right. Difficulty does increase the more you hack, but the puzzles only differ on the number of stores you hack rather than the specific store. So if it's your first time hacking it doesn't matter which store you hack, it'll be the same puzzle until you complete it.

**UPDATE** Many people have been having trouble with this achievement unlocking and because it glitched have downvoted my solution. The achievement has to be done on the same save file, just as I said above. According to user dfutyut2 if you are having trouble with this unlocking change the sex of your character and wait the full 2 hours in the same building you changed your gender in (Plastic Surgery). He was able to unlock it doing this. I'm sorry that your save file glitched, but that doesn't affect the solution being correct on how to get the achievement.

Is this achievement glitched? I have played a male character for 29+ hours and a female character for 6+ hours and still no achievement? Do I have to switch genders or can I just make a second playthrough? I would assume that a second playthrough would word since it did in Saints Row The Third and from what I found for this achievement for this game. I saw a progress bar for this achievement pretty sure and still nothing.

You may need to start a new save game and just stand around for a few hours on each character. Just to be safe, clear your system cache too. It didn't glitch for me, but the superpowers one did for me. Luckily for you its only a timed achievement that you can just stand around for. Good luck.

It finally unlocked. I went to Image As Designed and stood there for 2 hours and that worked. Thank you for your help.

I've played 35 hours as a female. I played over two hours on another save file as a man. No achievement. I changed my gender on my main character and played 3+ hours as a man. No achievement. Can we figure out what the f*** is wrong with this achievement?

I can confirm how i got it;
- Played with a 40+ hour female playthrough
- go into an Image As designed and change your sex to male (that's it! no other modifications needed)
- Stay in the simulation for 2 hours! - it doesn't appear to count if you're in the real world.
- it was done within the same save file, no new game needed.

Also make sure you do not pick the "Nolan North" option. According to the guide below he's gender neutral.

I made it using a separated savegame, but it can be done on main savegame because is possible change the gender without limit.

For this achievement you will need to play for at least 2 hours on the same save file as both a male and female character.

You can switch your character's gender for $500 at any 'Image As Designed' stores. The gender you pick initially doesnt matter but I highly suggest that you start with the gender you want to keep first (Male for example) and just before switching genders you save your character at a clothing store

If you're wondering how then all you need to do is pop into a Image As Designed and you can change your sex.

Then wait two hours and pop :)

Complete the game as male or female, and after completing it, when you go to look for all the remaining clusters and missions, do not forget to go to character creation and change gender 8)
