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

The *Blast from the Past* event in *The Sims 4* brings a host of exciting rewards, but they come with their fair share of challenges. One particularly tricky task in Week 2 involves breaking and then repairing an object. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this in *The Sims 4*.

How To Find a Broken Object in The Sims 4

During Week 2 of the *Blast from the Past* event, one challenge requires you to elevate your Handiness skill to level 2 or higher, which is straightforward. However, the subsequent task of repairing a broken object can be frustrating due to the lack of a clear guide on locating broken items in the game.

Since the game doesn’t explicitly show broken objects, the best strategy is to create one yourself. While you could use the “prank” option on an item, this method requires a specific Trait that not all players might have. To simplify the process, you can break an item the traditional way: by overusing it.

A cost-effective choice is The Ambassador toilet. This budget-friendly adult toilet is more prone to breaking. By using it around a dozen times, it will start to malfunction and spray water, effectively becoming a broken object in *The Sims 4*. You can either do this yourself or invite other Sims to your home to help with the process.

How To Repair a Broken Object in The Sims 4

Once you have your Handiness skill at level 2, repairing the broken object is straightforward. Simply approach the broken item, select “Repair,” and in a few moments, you’ll fix the issue, stopping the toilet from wasting water and completing the challenge for the *Blast from the Past* event.
