Will I be banned if I reset all my achievements through a program

[gojo satoryu]

I accidently downloaded a mod for New Vegas which unlocks all the achievements and because of that I want to reset them now

[Takami]

how you "accidently " downloaded a mod that unlocks all the achievements? didnt you read what the mod was for?

[Pheace]

I've reset my achievements before and never noticed anything (mind you, these weren't multiplayer/VAC games).

I personally think this is a missing feature on Steam. I don't care if they want to keep a local version/history of it somewhere both for their own purposes as the devs but personally when I replay certain games I enjoy re-experiencing the milestones/achievements to record my progress through a new game.

I just google mod that lets me get achievements if I have mods and I didn't read the mod name properly

No you won't. But do know that not all games will let you earn them again legitimately.

[MancSoulja]

If you reset your achievements. There's a good chance they won't unlock again legitimately.

i have reset mine , and they just unlock again normally
i had games i started playing years ago and then decided to 100% , batman arkham city for example , it just was annoying to have the first few achievements in 2014 or 2015 and now have the rest in mid 2018

dont talk bs if you dont know what you are talking about , if achievements get locked they just pop up once you fullfill the requirement , i once accidently went into a completed file in batman , had all of them pop up at once

Likewise. Some games keep their own records and don't unlock achievements again. I've seen plenty of them mentioned over the years, though specific names evade me at present. I want to say it's mostly tied to multiplayer games/achievements, but I can't make that a hard fact.

That said, it should work fine on New Vegas.

Oh and what is the scariest type of ban, can a account be blocked or maximum punishment is a vac ban

If you use SAM only on New Vegas, the odds of receiving any kind of punishment are exceedingly slim. There are some developers who will give you a game ban for cheating on achievements, but Bethesda isn't one of them.

That said, should Valve decide to act on third party tools and achievements, the most logical punishment they'd mete out would be disabling any and all achievement and achievement related stats on the accounts that have used tools like SAM.

could I ask the steam support about that?

[Washell]

I believe their response is along the lines of "We don't recommend using third party tools" or "We don't comment on these issues." but sure, you can ask. They won't ban you for asking if something is allowed or not.

But if I use the tool could I get a punishment such as my account being banned and I wouldn't be able to play any of my games anymore?

Highly, highly unlikely. The Steam achievement system has been around since 2007 and SAM came out a year later. Valve have never shown any interest in protecting the integrity of the achievement system by punishing SAM users nor do they seem remotely interested in doing so.

Yeah, but I asked what is the strongest punishment I could get for that

You're overthinking it. You're basically asking what the strongest punishment is for doing something that no-one's ever been punished for. There is no current punishment for it.
