How to unlock the Expert achievement in Tropico 4 - Definitive Guide

Or.........instead of doing what eHeadaches suggested, you could do it WAY easier.

If you go to sandbox mode, select your attributes and start a game (it doesn't matter what the sliders or anything are set too).

After you begin, hit start to go to the selection menu. Hold down the L and R joysticks to bring up the cheat menu (ignore the message stating achievements won't unlock for now). Scroll down until you see the "El Pollo Diablo - Instant win" button.

Hit it to win. Now you'll notice that the 3 attributes you selected have all increased 1 star.
Repeat until you have just 3 stars left to get. Now comes the part where you set the timer to 10 years and play the sandbox game out. After you beat it, the achievement should pop up.

Getting the achievement this way takes a heck of a lot less time since you don't actually have to play the sandbox games (it took me around 25 mins to fill all the stars up after getting to level 18 on the campaign).

To speed up even more: After you won the God Mode game, just click continue game and restart the level. Like that you can level up your 1 star traits much more quickly by avoiding the main menu selection screen.

Best tip ever! I accidently deleted my saved settings for this game last year and lost ALL of my stars from playing through the campaign. I recently decided I need to go back and 1k this game and was dreading cfollecting all the stars again, even with a Hori controller. This solution was such a time saver. Thank you!

Yes first push down LS then RS and hold them down for about 4 seconds. Great solution but took me more then 5 minutes to realize this. Another solution mentioned that you can use this to skip levels without achievements.

Used this method and it did NOT pop. Why has that happened?!

If it doesn't come up after maxing out your final skill, play a full level as normal even if you weren't using a cheat and it should unlock just fine.

Thumbs up. And if you forget and level up to skill level 5 on everything while boosting, no worries, just play through a sandbox game (no god mode) and it will pop at the end.

I think you should add thouse valuable tips of holding down LS first then RS and the restart tip! Both will add to this epic solution!
Big thanks

As far as the cheat menu goes. In the start menu, hold left LS for 1 sec then hold RS for 1 sec to access cheat menu. Holding both at the same time eventually works but takes a bit of time. Other than that good solution.

Does this have to be a custom avatar? Because I don't see a second page of attributes for any others and have played through 90% of the campaign with Che.

Nevermind, I found it. When you select the attributes for your customer avatar there is a list of some 30+ that you have to 5-star.
Would be nice to know if the last game (played) can be on God Mode so that both achievements can be knocked out in one game.

Oh, so even if you 5 star all of them accidentally in God mode, you can just play another normal game and it'll still pop?

Good to know, as the DLCs added in new traits, and I'm not 100% sure what those were, so I was kinda dreading accidentally leveling up all the base games traits, and only having the DLCs ones left and messing this achievement up.

I was just playing and trying to coordinate the attributes to balance em in Campaign and Modern. After I 5 Starred all of them the cheevo didn't pop. OMG I'd never realized there was a second page of them. Thank you for this solution. I was so mad. Lol

(This guide is similar to the one above, but I'm giving a few tips that I found around the web, and a huge 45 minute to an hour time-saver I found, as well as explaining it in more details to people who don't know the game's ins and outs; so I thought this one was necessary).

You want to use the "El Pollo Diablo" cheat code (You get to the menu by clicking LS waiting a second or two and hitting RS in the pause menu) in a non-godmode game. (Campaign, or sandbox) to instantly win and get your Trait's stars up.

You want to create a custom avatar in order to pick your attributes. You have two pages which the can flip through with RB. You can pick 3 at a time.

A quick tip in order to make this go quicker is to press "B" to continue playing and restart the mission rather than backing out and starting a new one. You'll have to do this 4 times if you're starting fresh on 3 new Traits. Afterwards, you'll need to back-out to the menu and pick new traits to level up.

Here's a big time-saver I found. Instead of doing a 10 year campaign for your final attribute, which can take upwards to an hour. Get all your attributes to the max level using the El Pollo Diablo and load a campaign (or sandbox) that is saved within minutes of finishing the mission. As soon as you finish it, the achievement will pop.

"Get all your attributes to the max level using the El Pollo Diablo and load a campaign (or sandbox) that is saved within minutes of finishing the mission. As soon as you finish it, the achievement will pop."

This didn't work for me. Instead, it reverted three of my traits - the ones on my custom avatar in the nearly-completed game that I loaded - back to two stars. I think what happened was those three traits were at 1 star when I started that game, so loading the game reset those traits back to 1, then completing the game advanced them to 2. So, if anyone is going to try this, I suggest only doing it if you have a nearly-completed game where the traits you're using are already at four or five stars. Otherwise, you'll lose ground. It's probably simpler and quicker in most cases to just do the 10-year final sandbox.

The bit about continuing and restarting the game does work nicely though, speeds things up a bit more than having to back out and go through the avatar select and everything all over again.

When you start a mission, choose custom avatar and select traits on the last page. You will need to upgrade all these traits to the maximum. Finishing one campaign mission will level up all selected traits by one level. You need to complete 51 missions or sandbox games to get this. The easiest way is to just go for god mode sandbox games with a duration of 10 years. You don't actually have to do anything during these 10 years, so just confirm any messages you get and keep repeating, till you have one star left to do (or one star per trait), then start a sandbox game without god mode and play through it normally. God Mode locks any kind of achievement, it will also prevent you from getting this one, so disable it for your final round.
