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

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* presents players with a variety of rewards, but earning them isn't a walk in the park. One of the challenges, especially in Week 2, is proving to be particularly tricky. Here's a detailed guide on how to break and repair a broken object in *The Sims 4*.

How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

One of the challenges in Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event requires you to elevate your Handiness level to 2 or higher, which is straightforward. However, the second part of the task, which involves repairing a broken object, can be frustrating due to the lack of guidance on finding such an object.

Since there’s no direct way to detect broken objects in your world, the best approach is to create one yourself. While you could use the "prank" option on an item, this requires a specific Trait, which might be a hassle for casual players. Instead, the simpler method is to break an item through repeated use.

Consider adding The Ambassador toilet to your home; it's the cheapest adult version available. Cheaper items tend to break more easily, and using this toilet around a dozen times should cause it to malfunction and start spraying water. You can either do this yourself or invite guests to your home to use it. Once it breaks, you'll have a broken object in *The Sims 4* ready for repair.

How To Repair a Broken Object in The Sims 4

With your Handiness skill at level 2 or higher, approach the broken object and select the "Repair" option. It will take a few moments, but you'll successfully stop the toilet from wasting water and complete the Blast from the Past challenge.
