How To Study a Historical Display in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event

Week 2 of The Sims 4's Blast from the Past event presents a puzzling challenge: studying a Historical Display. This guide explains how to overcome this obstacle and complete the quest.

Locating a Historical Display:

The Week 2 quest requires interacting with a Historical Display, found within museums. Use your in-game map to locate a museum (indicated by a pillar icon). Municipal Muses in Willow Creek and The Future's Past in Oasis Springs are conveniently located near other event tasks.

Completing the Quest:

Once inside a museum, locate a painting or sculpture (both count as Historical Displays). Click on the chosen item and select "View." The Emit icon will confirm successful completion.

Troubleshooting:

Many players report difficulties with this task, often attributed to mods interfering with the "View" interaction. If encountering this issue, temporarily disabling mods might resolve the problem. If the problem persists, try interacting with multiple displays at different museums.
