Achievement: City Transporter impossible to get.....
the achievement City Transporter is impossible to get. i have all 5 dee dee transports in my inventory i enter the building at 8:00 intantly picking up the quest and turning it in. doing it 4 times before higgens picks the last one. i reloaded the game so many times but it is simply not possible to pick all before higgens grabs one away.

dont tell me to do the previous quest on a friday so that the quest comes up on the weekend. i tried that and the quest does not pop up on weekends. i am a bit anoyed by the fact that higgens can grab a story quest that is tied to an achievement otherwise i would have no problem with this.

It is possible to get. You need to time the progression of the main quest so that the commissions are released on a day where Higgins won't be around to pick one up - like a weekend.

Not so long ago, there was a guide postet:

The question is, what is the previous quest for you? I thought, it was the amber island bridge, becouse the first time I played this, that still was the trigger. The guide tought me, the trigger was changed.

You can change the time you trigger the mission, if you go back a few days; you can load the last seven or something days individualy. It will also change the daily commisions (for the days after the one you are starting with) and maybe you will get lucky and Higgins won't choose one of the dee-dee-commisions. That is what happend to me in my latest game.

I managed to get it by accident... You definitely need it to be available on a day where Higgins won't visit the commerce center. Weekend or during a holiday works.
You can get it. Even without a weekend or holiday. Just make sure you beat him to the comissions on the morning and have every dee-dee transport made before you accept the quest. Or at least have all the components ready to create it.

The Amber Island bridge used to be the trigger, but it was changed some time ago to "The Cave on Amber Island" mission where you replace a battery on the island.

But prepare at least 4 of the Dee-Dee cars in advance (which means that you'll need small engines that can only be found in Abandoned Ruins no. 1, which again opens on 17th day of Spring). In other words don't rush the previous quests.

From the wiki:
"The player can time the mission if they want to hand in all five Dee-Dee Transports and get the related achievement. Higgins will take one of the transport commissions right away if they are posted on a weekday but will not take any commissions on Saturday or Sunday. To avoid that the player can complete The Cave on Amber Island on Thursday or Friday to get a fireside meeting the next day and this mission on Saturday or Sunday."

Also: it is safe for you if these commissions are posted on the Day of the Bright Sun festival. Higgins won't enter the Commerce Guild that day because of the festival. When you get the mission, remember that you can hand multiple story commissions to Antoine on the same day, so grab one and hand it in immediately and repeat. Just make sure to have at least 4 Dee-Dee cars prepared, so you can hand them in and still grab the fifth commission.

Hey so, you can do this pretty easily even without it falling on a weekend. In fact, you can stop Higgins taking a commission every day.

At 8am enter the guild and wait by the door for Higgins to come in and just repeatedly walk into him while he's trying to walk to the board. At 9am, he will leave the guild and take no commissions that day. His points also will not go up doing this. Meaning you can screw him over to the point of him never earning points. Have fun. ;)

You can also spar him 3 times, if you win he will not go into the building until 8:30 and with the game speed at 50 it should be easy to get.
