The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* offers players a variety of rewards, but earning them isn't a walk in the park. Among the challenges you'll face, one particularly tricky task involves breaking and then repairing an object. Here's your guide to successfully completing this challenge in *The Sims 4*.
How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4
During Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, you're tasked with raising your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher, which is straightforward. However, the real challenge comes with the requirement to repair a broken object, as the game doesn't provide clear indications of existing broken items. To tackle this, you'll need to create a broken object yourself. While you could use the "prank" option on an item, this method requires a specific Trait, which might not be ideal for casual players. A simpler approach is to repeatedly use an item until it breaks.
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 will cause it to malfunction and start spraying water. You can do this yourself or have guests use it, but either way, you'll soon have a broken object in *The Sims 4*.
How To Repair a Broken Object in The Sims 4
Once you've reached Handiness level 2, repairing a broken object is simple. Just approach the broken item, select "Repair," and within seconds, you'll fix the toilet and stop the water waste, successfully completing the Blast from the Past challenge.
