"Fixing Broken Objects in Sims 4: Blast From the Past Guide"

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* brings a range of exciting rewards, but earning them is no small feat. Among the various challenges you'll face, one particular task in Week 2 is proving to be quite the headache. Let's dive into how you can break and then repair a broken object to conquer this challenge.

How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event challenges you to elevate your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher, which is relatively straightforward. However, the real challenge lies in the subsequent task: repairing a broken object. The catch? There's no way to tell if anything's broken in your Sims' world. The solution? You'll need to break something yourself.

While you could use the "prank" option on an item, this requires a specific Trait that might not be convenient for all players. Instead, the simplest approach is to break an item through regular use. Enter The Ambassador toilet—the cheapest adult toilet available in the game. By using it repeatedly, about a dozen times, you'll eventually see it start to malfunction and spray water. Whether you do this yourself or have other Sims help, you'll soon have a broken object on your hands.

Repairing a broken object is just one part of the Week 2 challenges in the Blast from the Past event. Here's a comprehensive list of all the tasks you'll need to tackle:
