How To Break & Repair a Broken Object in The Sims 4 Blast From the Past Event

The Blast from the Past event in *The Sims 4* is packed with exciting challenges and rewards, but some tasks can be quite tricky to complete. One particular challenge that's been causing players headaches is the task of breaking and then repairing a broken object. Here's a detailed guide on how to navigate this challenge successfully.

How to Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

During Week 2 of the Blast from the Past event, one of the tasks requires you to elevate your Handiness skill to level 2 or above. While this is relatively straightforward, the subsequent challenge of repairing a broken object can be quite perplexing due to the lack of clear instructions on locating broken items.

To overcome this, you'll need to take matters into your own hands by deliberately breaking an object. While you could use the "prank" option on an item, this requires a specific Trait, which might not be immediately accessible to casual players. A simpler method is to break an item through repeated use. The Ambassador toilet, being an affordable adult item, is a perfect candidate. Using this toilet around a dozen times will cause it to break and start spraying water, signaling that it's now a broken object in *The Sims 4*. You can either do this yourself or invite guests to help speed up the process.

Once you've successfully broken an object and ensured your Handiness skill is at level 2, repairing it becomes a breeze. Simply approach the broken object, select the "Repair" option, and within a few moments, you'll stop the water wastage and complete the Blast from the Past challenge.
